Lemon Juice

Stomach Cleanse: First thing in the morning while your stomach is still empty, put 2 Tb. lemon juice in 8 oz. of warm water. Drink and wait to eat for at least another hour to allow working time. The warm water and high acidity really helps aid the stomach in cleansing out any leftover waste to prepare for the upcoming food.

Relieve Acid Reflux: It's a common belief that acid reflex is caused from too much acid in the stomach, making acid flow back up into the esophagus and burning the linings. The pain is named heartburn.

Thus, we take a variety of antacids to neutralize the stomach's acidity by increasing the pH. But did you know that lowering the acid actually works against the body?

The stomach lies between two dividing sphincters: the cardiac (esophageal) sphincter, which divides the esophagus from the stomach, and the pyloric sphincter, which divides the stomach from the small intestine. As you eat, the brain signals the stomach to create more acid to digest the food. The esophageal sphincter stays closed as long as there is enough acid in the stomach. When there's a deficiency, the sphincter opens up, releasing acid into the esophagus, causing the acid reflux. 

Simple Solution: Drink 1/2 cup of lemon juice and you'll soon have relief. Lemon juice has the same pH as stomach acid (pH of 2), allowing it to add more acid to the stomach to aid the digestion. 

So substitute lemon juice for the antacids. You'll feel much better.
