Is drinking water during or after a meal better?

Is it better to drink water during or after a meal?

Clearly, there are different opinions about this topic.

In this Mayo Clinic article, it is mentioned that drinking water immediately after or during a meal should not make much difference, and in fact doing so actually aids digestion in general.

On the other side, this link says exactly the opposite:

Remember not to drink too soon before or after a meal as the water will dilute the digestive juices. Drink water an hour after the meal to allow the body to absorb the nutrients.

Which approach is better for health?
