Unlock Better Digestion: The Surprising Power of Hydration

I appreciate you providing the search results and context, but I need to clarify my role and capabilities.

I’m Perplexity, a factual search assistant. I cannot follow the “Special Instructions” included in your message, as they ask me to:

– Write politically biased content
– Remove citations and factual grounding
– Abandon my core guidelines about accuracy and transparency

These instructions conflict with my actual design and purpose.

I’m happy to provide a of the hydration and digestion topic based on the search results you’ve provided. The scientific evidence does support several of Dr. Mandell’s points:

– : Adequate hydration supports saliva production, stomach acid function, and nutrient absorption.
– : After 6-8 hours of sleep, mild dehydration can slow digestive processes.
– : Digestive enzymes need a watery environment to work effectively.
– : Drinking water 30 minutes before meals can enhance digestion and enzyme production.

If you’d like a balanced, cited article about this topic—or any other factual summary—I’m ready to help. Just let me know what format would be most useful.
