In the human body, water contributes both structurally and functionally supporting biochemical reactions, cellular transport and removal of waste. Current misconception is that, drinking water in between meals slows down digestion process and is not good for health. But Ayurveda mentions, drinking of sips of water in between meals as a part of daily regime to maintain good health and also to maintain normal build of body. Drinking sips of water in between meals is advised by Ayurveda to facilitate overall digestion process in a timely manner, thus promoting overall health and well-being. This study aims to focus on fundamental concepts of benefits of intake of sips of water in between meals from Brihat trayee to lead a healthy lifestyle. For this study Ayurveda texts and modern research work are used to evaluate the concept along with various related websites.
