Different people have different theories about drinking water along with the meal. Some say don’t drink right before or right after but only during. Some say drink before & after not between … so on & so forth.
What in you opinion is the right way of going about it?
Two glasses before and two glasses after. That is unless you are eating soething very spicy :)
aishaA, can you please list down some of the benefits of doing the two glass before after theory? :~)

Research indicates water before meals decreases food intake (good for overweight folks lookin to shape up)
In between and after meal is better for digestion and decreasing acidity in the stomach.
I have heard a hadith according to which "Drinking water before a meal is like gold, drinking water during a meal is like silver and drinking water after the meal is like ermmmm forgot :( but not something good.
me too :k:
When its before having your meal, one wud eat less than usual..... as for drinking water after a meal, ive heard it bulges out your tummy, better avoid it unless the food is too spicy :)
How about drinking whenever youre thirsty, or want to wash down something?:)
Id think its simple as that, rather than based on ill-advised 'medical' suggestions or religious edicts. Everyone has their own unique way of doing it. Nothing confusing to it...at least thats what I believe. Heck its just water!
During.
usually before meals...and around half an hour later, after the meals.
dont know the reason why i do this...and dont ask me if there are any benefits of this practice...'cuz i really dont know :)
Its Sunnat to drink water during the meal..
i drink continuously during the meals :D

Actually this is not good. You should not neutralize your acid/enzyme in your body. You need them to processes your food.
I was told not to drink any water when having your food. Not sure about before or after.
i need atleast 4-5 big glasses of water to make my meal complete. i havent paid special attention to the timing. i guess i just drink whenever my mouth itches for some h2whooo. although it is very relaxing to drink an ice cold glass of water after a filling meal, it probably isnt very healthy.
I have heard drinking water before the meal, apart from breakfast.
Drinking water before the meal (best),
1) good to reduce wait.
2) Cleans the food pipe & washes the stomach before the food goes it.
3) Water is in ur stomach so helps stomach to digest (food becomes paste quickly & easily)
Drinking during meal is
See above number three but slower disgestion.
Drinking after meal is not recommended but only drink if u forget to drinking before or after meal.
Dont drink water before the breakfast. If u do have to then drink very slowly. The reason behind it that stomach is in rest state & pulls the water in quickly hurting food pipe & giving stomach pain.
But this is all I heard I dont know any medical implecations or theories - I dont know any authenticity of any of the statement written above.
Before n in between is good.
For over weight ppl if they leave drinking water for atleast half n hr after meal tehy will reduce the weight some what, Seen the result on ppl. Havnt tried my self as already underweight abit ( 60 kg at 5'6')
before the meal....
reason: see hadith above....
........whenever you want
If the H2O has lead in it, better drink it after. Atleast enjoy the last meal.
Re: Water before/during/after a meal
what is the reference of this hadith that drinking water before meals is gold etc ....
