How you can stop heartburn and acid reflux

When you eat at abuffet, do you consume just about all the food you can and worry aboutacid reflux or heartburn later? I see it all of the time, just aboutevery one I see at a buffet or even a company potluck, loads theirplate with more food than they stomach can handle at one time. Themedical industry has brainwashed most people to believe that if youhave heartburn or acid reflux, you have too much stomach acid and thatthis is the cause of heartburn. Then, then they use Tums or some otherover the counter remedy to quench their upset stomach. Or if they areseeing a doctor, the doctor will prescribe a acid blocker drug. Thedrugs - acid reducers or blockers - that doctors prescribe usually havea negative impact on your health. Your stomach must have an acid pH of1.5 to 2.5. With acid blockers or reducers, your stomach pH can moveto 3.0 and higher - this means less acidic. A pH of 3.0 or higher canlead to many health problems that you won't relate to your use to theseblockers. Heartburn, acid reflux or GED occur when the LowerEsophageal Valve, LEV, opens when it shouldn't. When this happens somestomach acid and digested food slips back into the esophagus. This willgive you a burning sensation, since the esophagus lining is not designto be exposed to acidic stomach contents If you ever get acidreflux or heartburn, the burning sensation, stomach pain, bleaching,and discomfort will make you look for a heartburn treatment. Here is alist of eating patterns that you should follow, if you want to be freeof heartburn. Or, if, you just want not to have stomach digestiveproblems. Heartburn treatment with digestive enzymes Justbefore you eat, take 2 - 3 digestive enzymes to help you digest yourfood. You don't want undigested food to stay in your stomach to longor it will decompose, create gas and turn into an acid source. And, ifthis undigested food gets into your colon, it can create colon cancer,if it occurs over many years. Heartburn treatment with water Limitthe amount of liquid you drink when you eat. Drinking excess water,dilutes your stomach acid and you need its low pH to digest your food. If you do drink liquid, use room temperature water, since cold waterslows down your digestive process. Heartburn treatment - eat less sugar Limityour consumption of sugar when you eat. Sugar has no nutritional valueand causes calcium to go out your urine. In addition, other mineralsare used up during its digestion. For sure don't drink soda or othersweet drinks during your meals. Heartburn treatment - watch how you eat fruit Afteryou eat, don't eat any fruit. Your stomach is busy digesting the foodyou just ate. Eating fruit will cause the fruit to remain in yourstomach to long, waiting to be digested and will start decaying creategas, and will become acidic. Heartburn treatment by using a good diet Don'tstuff yourself at the dinner table. When you eat to much food whereyou combine meat, carbohydrates, sugar, sodas, fats, and processedfoods, the food your stomach cannot digest turns into acid. This acidcreates gas and can put pressure on a weak LEV causing it to open. Aweak LEV can be cause by eating too much acid food. It can be causedby mixing to many different foods during a meal. A balanced diet,which contains alkaline and acid food keeps your LEV strong and willnot open when you occasionally eat more food than you should. Theseare just a few heartburn treatments that can help you keep heartburnfree. Your stomach needs strong acid to digest your food. Using acidreducers or blockers like Tums or other medication goes against thenature of your stomach. Without an acid stomach, you will becomesusceptible to a numerous diseases and a weak LEV valve.
