Therefore like other citrus lime if taken by itself or diluted in pure water should provide heartburn relief!.

For faster relief go on 4 days of pure fresh raw fruits, nuts, raisins, and water!.

First thing in the morning have a glass of orange juice followed by a bowl of mixed fruits!. Water in between!. Then 2 hours later have some mixed nuts and raisins!. Later in the day have fruits again and mixed nuts, water in between!. The raisins and nuts should created a crave for water !. Drink up to 10 glasses of water each day!.

You have this problem because your digestive system is too acidic!. (The optimum pH range for human tissues is between 7!.35 to 7!.45) It is this acidity that is causing the burning problem!. You need to have more alkali forming foods in your diet!.

Whither you decide to try the above or not, your meals should mostly be looking like these:

1)!. A meal consisting of of meat or fish,
1 or 2 complex carbohydrate (eg!. yam, potatoes, pumpkin etc)
a mixture of raw vegetables, (eg!. lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, broccoli, yellow or red sweet pepper, shredded carrots)
varied mixture of steam vegetables (eg a leafy vegetable and/or string beans, or a vegetable salad)

If you'd like to add drink - preferably vegetable juice!.

2)!. Another is a mixture of different fruits with nuts and seeds

Did you know that foods are either acid-forming or alkaline forming!? Too many acid forming foods definitely contribute to heartburn!. Alkaline forming foods neutralize acid in the human body!. Lime juice, in addition to most uncooked fruits and vegetables, is alkaline-forming, and in the human body it neutralizes acid and helps to maintain a normal pH!. I do not get heart-burn (maybe once in 10 years), but I eat alot of alkaline forming foods!. I think that lime juice would be beneficial for heartburn!. But I also know it is better to prevent heartburn by eating some uncooked vegetables with your cooked foods!. It wouldn't hurt to try it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is a definite possibility that lime juice (and other citrus juices) may improve some cases of acid reflux!.

One possible mechanism is via D-limonene - a component of various citrus fruits, including limes!. Here is a quote from the scientific literature: "Because of its gastric acid neutralizing effect and its support of normal peristalsis, it (D-limonene) has also been used for relief of heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux (GERD)!."

Best wishes and good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
