So, we discovered this week . . . that the "stomach" needs to have a healthy "acidic" level between 1.5 and 3.5 on the pH balance scale . . . for optimal health. And therefore . . . giving it the ability to digest our food proper . . . and kill any bad bacteria or pathogens (like H. pylori) . . . that might have been on or in the food we consumed. And "if" you remember from our series about H. pylori . . . we can "even" get this bacteria from . . . kissing our partner or our

Okay . . . so, yesterday we discovered how important it is to keep our "stomach acid" in the correct range on the pH balance scale for optimal health. We also learned that this Western diet we all love so much . . . RAISES the pH level in the stomach to an UNHEALTHY "alkaline" level . . . causing heartburn, acid reflux, indigestion and an array of other health issues. Now . . . "IF" . . . the level of "acidity" goes and stays above 3.5 on the pH balance scale in the stomach f

Okay . . . so, yesterday we spoke about "what" stomach acid does for our digestion . . . and that . . . it's NOT the enemy . . . "IF" . . . functioning properly! We also ended yesterday . . . learning that the pH balance of the stomach . . . needs to be much more "acidic" than the rest of the body to do its job correctly . . . This "acidity" . . . is essential for the digestion of food . . . the activation of digestive enzymes . . . and protecting us from bad bacteria and pat

So, yesterday we discovered "what" antacids are . . . and how many of us partake of this "temporary" relief.

Okay . . . so, as we know . . . the function of the "stomach" is to . . . Temporarily store food . . . Mechanically break it down through churning and Chemically digest it with "aci
