Question

Will water help in digestion?

Answer 1

Digestion:

1. It is the process of breaking down complex biomolecules into simpler forms.
2. The breakdown is done to favour the easy absorption of the food.
3. It provides energy to the body to perform necessary metabolic activities.

Water can help in digestion as:

1. It ensures the healthy functioning of various organs by maintaining their osmotic balance.
2. It mixes up with the food to liquidify it for its easy digestion and absorption.
3. However, water should not be consumed immediately after a meal as it can cause bloating.
