Lemon is thought to help balance acidity in the stomach because it contains citric acid which is a weak acid that can be easily metabolized by the body, potentially helping to neutralize excess stomach acid. Additionally, lemon water may stimulate the production of alkali in the body which could help to reduce acidity.
A base or a basic salt that neutralises the stomach acidity is called an antacid.
Antacids commonly contain ions such as calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), or aluminum (Al3+) to reduce acidity in the stomach. These ions bind to excess stomach acid, neutralizing it and reducing the overall acidity of the stomach.
