"Okay, in a raw live food diet. Fluids is very important. A lot of times when we sit down to the table and eat, you have a drink with you. Every time you eat and drink, you're diluting the digestive process. Basically when you eat food, it's all about digestion. If you're going to dilute that process, then you're going to destroy the whole idea of getting these nutrients to you. So in a raw live food diet, we like to stick to, if we're going to have a drink, we don't eat for thirty minutes. We're talking about any kind of fluids. If we're going to eat, then we eat the food and we wait for approximately two hours before we take in any fluids, so it gives us time to digest the food that we ate. Therefore, all these nutrients that you want to take, if you adhere to this simple rule of, if you're going to drink, wait thirty minutes before you eat. If you're going to eat, wait two hours before you start drinking so that you can digest. This is basic, one of the few rules in a raw live food diet."
