Question

Jai is suffering from indigestion due to acidity. Is it advisable to give her orange juice in this situation and why?

Answer 1

Oranges are citrus fruits that contain a variety of natural acids, particularly citric and ascorbic acids. Depending on the species, growing conditions and ripeness, fresh squeezed orange juice can have a pH lower than 3, according to “Advanced Nutrition and Human Metabolism." As such, drinking orange juice about 15 to 30 minutes prior to eating may help stimulate the secretion of digestive juices or lower the pH levels. Other acidic beverages, such as lemonade, pineapple juice and apple cider vinegar, are also consumed in order to promote digestion.
