In the early in morning right after wakeup I like to drink 2 cups of “Swiss lemonade" .
Swiss lemonade = water + one full lemon without seeds but with the husk, throw in the
blender and use a sieve before drink, I use no sugar.
The taste in not good but it is healthy...

Bye, Pictus

FWIW, a dose of baking soda in water can bring rapid correction if you become so acidic as to feel really ill, as happens to me occasionally

This would definitely neutralize stomach acids, and so relieve heartburn and such, but does it actually effect the body ph?  I say this because many of the most alkalizing foods are strongly acidic.  For instance, grapefruit juice does wonders (or lemon or lime, but grapefruit has some other cool properties, for instance they don't serve it in hospitals because when you take it with vitamins or medication it increases the absorbtion rate so much as to make it dangerous and potentially lethal with certain medications).
