Suggestions:

• Help your stomach work more quickly and efficiently - drink water without ice, so your stomach can avoid spending time and energy getting cold water up to body temperature. 
• Limit your water/liquid intake during meals to about one cup, so your stomach can make use of its enzymes most effectively .
• Drink water throughout the day.  Notice the difference in the way your brain and body feel and your skin feels and looks when you’re hydrated.
