It is also important to drink water with lemon correctly: squeeze a third of the lemon into a glass of warm water, drink on an empty stomach, 20-30 minutes before breakfast. You could perform some morning exercises and only then proceed with the breakfast. If you don\u2019t like water with lemon, do not force your body. Just drink boiled water at room temperature.

Water does not have time to be absorbed into the walls of the stomach, and the fermentation process starts. But still, it is useful to drink a little water during meals if you feel a need for it. The best option in this case would be to drink water half an hour before or an hour after eating.
