Drink water immediately after a meal, OK?

Dad drinks a lot of water every day. Many times, he drank a pot of tea immediately after a meal. Is it good to drink water immediately after a meal?

    Elderly people should drink plenty of water, but do not drink water immediately after meals, otherwise it will dilute and dilute saliva and gastric juice, weakening the activity of digestive enzymes, affecting digestion and absorption. You can drink 200 ml of water in a small sip half an hour after a meal to help relieve the increased blood viscosity after a meal.
