Many individuals find lemon water to be an effective treatment for indigestion. In particular, acid reflux can be mitigated by swigging some water with lemon juice. This may seem counterintuitive because lemon juice is, after all, acidic. However, when it is ingested in small concentrations, lemon juice can actually be alkalizing. This means it can help reduce the acidity in the stomach. Another way lemon juice helps is by providing a hefty dose of vitamin C, which is an antioxidant that helps keep the cells of the digestive tract healthy and strong. A good ratio is one tablespoon of lemon juice for every cup of water. Drinking the lemon water before meals can help to reduce the symptoms of indigestion. Individuals should not, however, drink undiluted lemon juice, as it is too acidic and can make digestive issues worse.
