According to the specialist, all products contain liquid, especially vegetables and fruits.

The digestion process is not related to the amount of water in the stomach.

It passes through the stomach without delay. At the same time, the digestion process takes up to four hours.

According to the expert, it is not recommended to drink food with carbonated water or sugary juice.

In this case, the calorie content of food increases, which increases the risk of weight gain.

Kabanov said that eating foods with a lot of sugar is dangerous for the heart and blood vessels.
