Relief for mild cases of heartburn

heartburn

1. Avoid triggers such as spicy food, chocolate, alcohol, caffeinated drinks and citrus fruits. A diet high in fat can also contribute to heartburn. So, keep greasy foods to a minimum.

2. Drink before and after meals instead of during.
A mixture of large volumes of fluid and food will expand your stomach considerably, aggravating heartburn.

3. Sleep with your head elevated to about 15 cm off your bed to keep gastric juices from where they belong – in your stomach.

4. Chew sugarless gum to stimulate saliva production Saliva can neutralize the acid in your esophagus, keeping irritation to a minimum.

    think that you should publish more about this subject matter, it may not be a taboo
