Dr. Berg talks about the importance of hydrochloric acid in our stomach. He explains what is hydrochloric acid and how to build hydrochloric acid inside our stomach. This is the most important fluid inside our body and without this acid in the stomach, our body will have a lot of problems. The stomach acid needs to be very strong (acidic) preferably in the range 1-3. If the stomach is less acidic it will not release pepsin (which is an enzyme for chemical reactions and is responsible for the breakdown of proteins). This leads to bloating, gas, indigestion, acid reflux, lack of protein breakdown, and diminished mineral absorption. The 3 major health benefits of hydrochloric acid are to help breakdown proteins, absorb minerals, kill microbes. Junk food, stress, antiacids, diarrhea, vomiting can cause low stomach acid.
