Are you someone who cannot eat without sipping on water? Then you need to stop and read this as there are certain foods that may turn harmful, when consumed with water. There’s no denying that water is safe to consume with most foods, but there are a few combinations that can trigger indigestion and discomfort. So, here are five foods that should not be consumed with water.
02/6Bananas

Bananas contain a significant amount of soluble fiber. Eating them with too much water can dilute the gastric juices in the stomach, which can eventually slow down digestion. It's generally better to eat bananas on their own or with foods that complement their texture and flavor.
03/6Citrus Fruits

Citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruits, and lemons are already juicy and contain a lot of water. Consuming these fruits with excessive water might lead to stomach discomfort or a feeling of fullness. It's better to enjoy them in moderation and wait a bit before drinking water.
04/6Yogurt

Yogurt is a dairy product that contains probiotics, which are beneficial for gut health. Drinking water immediately after consuming yogurt can wash away these probiotics and reduce their effectiveness. If you want to drink something with yogurt, opt for a small sip of water or choose a flavored yogurt that is already diluted with liquid.
05/6Spicy Foods

Spicy foods like chili peppers or hot sauces can cause discomfort when combined with large amounts of water. Water may spread the heat and make the burning sensation worse. Dairy products like milk or yogurt are better choices for cooling the mouth when eating spicy foods.
06/6Rice

Consuming large amounts of water with rice can dilute the stomach acids needed for proper digestion. While it's fine to have a glass of water before or after eating rice, avoid drinking too much while eating a rice-based meal. Allow some time for the rice to digest before drinking more water.
