On the contrary, there are two main reasons for excess stomach acid, the first one is physiological, and our mental state. When we are emotionally stressed and overworked, the cerebral cortex will be dysfunctional, so the nerves governing the secretion of gastric acid may not be able to work properly, leading to excessive gastric acid secretion. The second reason is due to improper diet, eating too much sweet, sour, spicy and salty food can make the stomach acid too much.

Finally, drinking water at the right time can also dilute stomach acid. An effective way to dilute the discomfort caused by excess stomach acid is by drinking more water. Usually, the best time of day to eat and drink is when you wake up in the morning on an empty stomach, in addition, drinking water one hour before a meal as well as drinking water after a meal can be effective in diluting stomach acid.
