What is so important about the stomach acid anyways? When was the last time you had your hydrochloric acid checked and measured? Although I have often wondered about my stomach acid I did not know how important it was until recently.

Effects Of Low Stomach Acid

Our stomach acid is directly related to our human health. We can eat a well balanced living foods diet and still be having problems absorbing key nutrients.

When I was growing up my father was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. In those days they would take a part of the stomach out. Unfortunately that only made matters worst. Over the next 20 plus years he was more unhealthy then ever and eventually after years of pain and dis-ease his life ended in a hospital after another surgery at age 50 he died.

During his life my dad was told he had a lack of iron and was anemic. Although he had plenty of iron going into his body. He just could not process the iron going into his body.

What is going on inside our stomachs, like my dads, to lead to nutritional deficiencies and possible dis-ease:

  1. Hypochlorhydia (low stomach acid): occurs when the human body is unable to make adequate quantities of stomach acid. Low stomach acid negatively effects the absorption process of:
  2. Most Minerals like:
    • Iron
    • Zinc
    • Calcium
    • B-complex Vitamins
    • Folic Acid
  3. The stomach acid is also important for destroying harmful:
    • Microorganisms
    • Pathogenic Bacteria
    • Parasites and the Eggs
    • Fungi
    entering through the mouth.
  4. The stomach acid is also needed for digesting large protein molecules. When the protein molecules are not digested properly they:
    • Absorb Into The Bloodstream
    • Cause Allergies
    • Cause Immunological disorders.

Does your body suffer from aliments associated from low stomach acidity like:

  • Bacteria Overgrowth
  • Bacteria Overgrowth
  • Chronic Candidacies
  • Parasites
  • Addison's Disease
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • arthritis
  • Asthma
  • Auto Immmune Disorders
  • Celiac Disease
  • Stomach Carcinoma
  • Depression
  • Dematitis
  • Diabetes
  • Eczema
  • Flatulence
  • Gall Bladder Disease
  • Gastric Polyps
  • Osteoporosis
  • Psoriasis
  • Rosacea
  • Ulcerative Colitis
  • Urticaria
  • Vitiligo

With plenty of hydrochloric acid you can be healthy!!

ncreasing The Stomach Acid And Increase Your Health

There are 2 simple solutions towards building the hydrochloric acid in the stomach:

  1. The fiber in GREENS!
  2. Chewing until the cell wall of the fruits and greens are thoroughly broken or blending!

This may sound too simple and a bit unbelievable. Create an person experiment and find out for yourself. Start with 70% to 60% organic fruit and 30% to %40 organic leafy greens and/or sprouts. Blend with a cup of water or chew these fresh foods very well, until mushy. Drink about 2 to 3 quarts of green smoothie per day for 90 days. Document how you feel and what changes happen in your body.

It took me years to be ready for the green smoothie revolution. I encourage you to seek and find your health through your own challenge and research. We are one tiny amount of fresh, organic fruits and greens away from physical wellness!
