Question

Water intake

Asked for Female, 26 Years

Why we have to drink water after meal? Have to drink water compulsory for good digestion? Then why? I'm frankly saying, I'm not feeling thirst after eating meal, but my elders saying if you are not feeling thirst also have to drink water otherwise food will not digest What's wrong in this?
