The symptoms of acid reflux, or heartburn, can be so severe for some that they are sometimes mistaken for a heart attack. As many as 60 million Americans suffer from it each month, but there are some all-natural ways to eliminate the problem without over-the-counter or prescription medications.
Common food triggers include chocolate, orange juice, coffee, tomato-based sauces, wine and high-fat foods. Therefore, eliminating reflux-causing foods and cutting back on portion sizes can help reduce the occurrence of heartburn. Eating slowly can help, too.
Sufferers should avoid eating late at night. Eating at least two or three hours before lying down is recommended to give the stomach time to digest and empty some of the acids that can cause pain.
Kevin Trudeau, author of Natural Cures They Don’t Want You To Know About tells NaturalNews.com that eating raw, organic foods and adding living enzymes to the diet can help eliminate heartburn. He also says drinking a tablespoon of raw apple cider vinegar before meals can reduce the pain.
The National Heartburn Alliance recommends reducing stress to help put out the fire of heartburn. Relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation and tai chi are all-natural health resources that cut down on stress and anxiety.
The Troubling Truth About Antacids
Many folks over 50 rely on antacids to soothe their acid indigestion, and it usually works over the short term. But the bigger problem is, over-the-counter (OTC) antacids can cause severe and long-term health problems. Depending on the brand you take, antacids can easily:
- Make your acid symptoms worse…
- Cause your blood pressure to fluctuate dramatically…
- Trigger constipation, bloating, cramps and kidney stones…
- Lead to serious memory problems…
- Trigger bone weakness, irregular heartbeat or more…
