Heartburn is mainly caused by acid reflux, which means that the acidic digestive juices present in the stomach comes up to the esophagus (which is not protected against these acids) leading to a burning sensation. Keep the following points in mind to avoid heartburn as far as possible.
- Avoid overindulging or putting too much food in your belly.
Eat only according to your hunger even though it is your favorite food. - Relax and learn to eat slowly. Did you know we need to chew each bite at least 32 times before gulping it down?
Start eating according from now on. - Avoid lying down immediately after a meal. Eat meals at least 2-3 hrs before sleeping hours and relax and sit after eating a meal.
- Avoid eating excessively spicy foods with all spices and condiments, oily or fried foods, red pepper, meat, pickles, sour foods, strong tea and coffee. Also avoid too sweet preparations like heavy cakes, pastries, sweets and aerated drinks.
- Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol and tobacco completely.
- Avoid taking any kind of stress, mental or physical as far as possible as this would worsen your condition.
