Did you know that water, the source of earths life, has harmful effects too if it is not taken in the right way? An advice from doctors, your grandparents and even the Hindu text Ayurveda says you must never drink water while standing as it causes severe health issues in your life. Here are few of the problems that you might face if you are in a habit of drinking water while standing.
(1) Stomach pain
Drinking water while standing tends the water to enter your stomach with force
Due to which it mixes directly with the acid present in the stomach without any filtration causing spasm in the stomach muscle and thus causing pain.
(2) Arthritis
A person drinking water in standing position is usually unable to drink water slowly. As a result it disturbs the balance of other body fluids and cause deficiency of required fluid in your joints known as Arthritis. Resulting in sever joint pains in the later stages of your life.
(3) Harmful to kidney
When you drink water in a standing position, water passes through kidneys without the proper filtration that is compulsory for the body. The impurities present in water get gather in bladder and gets mixed your blood and cause damage of kidneys. If you make this a regular habit loses its ability to filter waste products from blood and might result in a kidney failure.
(4) Affect digestive system
Health experts have it that by having water fast and in a standing position, it directly hits your stomach wall. This shock from the splashing of water can cause long term damage to the digestive system as it harms the stomach wall and the gastrointestinal tract which is the main organ to process the eaten food.
(5) Your nerves are tense when you drink water standing
When you drink water standing your body automatically focuses your nerves to create a balance for standing and when you drink water it disrupts the nervous system by diverting the nerves around the stomach to function this sudden change might cause nervousness.
With all been said, it was written in Ayurveda your parents or grandparents might have told you this and now it is even confirmed by the modern science too. Try to drink water while sitting as sitting relaxes the body and helps you take the nutrition and benefits of drinking the water in the proper way.

Normally I really like your posts, but your information source on this one is simply full of false information...
I already got to read your and @globelfoodbook s replies and saw that link to your source.... just don't take sites like that for your scientific information. This whole post kinda sounds like someone never went to any biology lessons and more than anything, never heard what this so called "anatomy" is.
I don't want to bash you or anything since I really like you personally and I like your posts most of the times as you search out some real nice to know information and trivia and pack them up nicely for us steemians, but I gotta be direct when I see something wrong :x

Being able to show a source is always the best! people will trust you more that way too and you can even prove that you informed yourself and didn't just copy something :)
But finding something on this matter will be hard since noone ever made any studies on this. Which I can understand since it would not only cost alot of money to pay all the subjects involved in the experiments, but even for short term effects of e.g. drinking while standing vs. drinking while sitting you would need >500 for both parts and them trying it for like halv a year to a year. And thats only for short term effects, noones gonna pay to find out the long term ones, at least I wouldn't waste money for that...
It's just a cultural and religious thing to not drink while standing, some people for some reason made up some "hypothesis", if you can it that, and those spread around, leading to people believe that drinking while standing is bad. For some reason they didn't put any effort into making up some arguments for them though...

I am skeptical that drinking water while standing will cause death. Do you have any scientific evidence to back up your claim?

It doesn't causes instant death but , it weakens your digestive system, lead to improper functioning .. so consider it like slow poisoning .. I can cite several health sites whi agree on this but my favorite is this https://www.kent.co.in/blog/dos-and-donts-explaining-how-to-drink-water/

Thank you for sharing this with me but I still beg to disagree. I have seen many people that drink water while standing up without suffering any of the health issues listed on the website you sent to me. For example, my grandfather died at the age of 102 years and growing up, I watched him on several occasions drink water even while standing. He never suffered any of the health issues listed on that website.
Besides, we see athletes during Olympics drink water even while standing.
If the claim that drinking water while standing can lead to death, don't you think that there would have been a wider awareness created all over the world about this.
Again the link you sent to me does not provide any scientific evidence to validate their claims so I still don't believe their claims.

I admire your courage in trying to satisfy my curiosity! Thank you 👍 so much, infact I am following you already to stay connected.
I will be glad to see any scientific journal that backs up this claim. That will even motivate me to start spreading the news as well, afterall we are all here to share and grow knowledge together.
At 87, your grandfather has done so well and I know it will be tough to stop him from smoking.
Anyways, thank you for your time and I look forward to the scientific article.
