Why doesn’t your stomach digest itself—even with acid as strong as pH 1?

Ever wonder why our stomach doesn’t just digest itself?
It produces gastric acid with a super low pH—around 1—2 to break down food and kill bacteria. Sounds intense, right? But your stomach has a smart defense: a thick, alkaline mucus layer that coats and protects its lining. This layer is packed with bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻), which neutralizes the acid on contact.

Here’s where it gets interesting—your body needs alkaline minerals like calcium, magnesium, and sodium to create that protective buffer. If you’re not getting enough from your diet or water, your body starts pulling these minerals from your bones and tissues to keep things in balance.

That’s why drinking alkaline mineral-rich water and eating a mineral-rich diet isn’t just a trend—it’s a necessity. It supports your stomach, your gut, your cells, and your overall pH balance.

Nature gave us the tools. Our job is to use them. Stay balanced, stay strong.
