Benefits of drinking watermelon juice in acidity-

1. Reduces acid reflux

Acid reflux is one of the first symptoms of GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease). It occurs when the sphincter at the base of the esophagus (which is connected to the food pipe) is not working well and allows fluid from the stomach to enter the esophagus. When this happens, people witness sour belching, burning of the stomach, and many other problems. Drinking watermelon juice reduces these symptoms and along with it digests food.

Potassium-rich watermelon juice actually tries to neutralize stomach acid. It accelerates the metabolic rate greatly and then reduces the problem of acidity. So, if you are having acidity then add some black salt to this juice and drink it. 

3. Watermelon juice is diuretic
