All biological enzymes function best at particular pH values (most require pH 6 to 7) in the human stomach, the pH of 2-3 provides the environment required for the proper functioning of the digestive enzymes found there and this is the perfect condition for preservation of food and digestion of food.

Explanation:

The adding of basic material decrease acidity that happens due to the lower pH of the stomach. The very common basic material which is used to neutralize the acidity of stomach milk of magnesia.

The lower pH of the stomach cause acidity which is injurious to the health and also the mucous lining of the stomach. To balance is acidity milk of magnesia is required.
