Tips on How to Overcome Heartburn – The most effective way to treat heartburn is by discovering and avoiding your trigger foods. But what exactly is heartburn, and do you suffer with it?
Watch this video where you’ll discover 5 simple practical tips and solutions for heartburn relief.
Heartburn is where you have an acidic-tasting reflux in your throat and mouth, being stomach acid that makes its way up your chest through the muscular tract called the oesophagus or gullet, to the back of your throat.
There are numerous reasons why people suffer with the occasional incidence of heartburn, but where it happens on a frequent and regular basis you may have GORD (gastro-oesophageal reflux disease).
This is where your oesophagus becomes inflamed, and you get diagnosed with oesophagitis.
Here are those 5 simple practical tips and solutions for heartburn relief:
#1. Keep Track of your Lifestyle:
Monitor your reaction to particular foods and drinks by keeping a food diary and taking note of what and how much you ate prior to an attack.
Look for correlations – it may not always be the same meal that causes it, but there may be ingredients common to every incidence of heartburn.
#2. Regular Mealtimes and Portion Control:
Here are eight practical steps to follow:
(1) Make a point to limit your food portions and to schedule your meals for specific times of the day.
(2) Avoid spicy, acidic foods, as well as those that are very high in fat.
(3) Everyone is different and may have different trigger foods.
(4) An elimination diet can be an excellent diagnostic tool.
(5) Remove all instances of a suspect food from your diet for at least two weeks and monitor your incidences of heartburn.
(6) Keep testing foods and food types until you find the culprits.
(7) Greasy foods should be the first to go but you may need to eliminate foods, such as: citrus fruits, chocolates, caffeinated drinks like tea and coffee, alcohol, fizzy drinks, and tomato products.
(8) Other heartburn triggers that you may not expect are lifestyle-oriented, such as smoking, taking certain pills for example, ibuprofen, and suffering from high stress levels.
#3. Physical Treatments for Heartburn:
Treating the acute effects of heartburn, or preventing their occurrence, isn’t limited to consuming something else to overcome what you’ve already eaten.
If you can employ some or all of the following suggestions, including walking or cycling on a daily basis, for example, you may find relief without the need for medication.
#4. Simple and Practical Solutions:
You can try:
(1) Avoiding lying down straight after you eat can be very effective in preventing heartburn.
(2) Standing or walking right after eating can be very helpful in allowing the gastric juices to flow down in the normal direction.
(3) Avoid bending down.
(4) Ideally, you should have a meal at least two to five hours before sleeping.
(5) Try to prop your head up to sleep with both your head and chest elevated.
(6) Sleeping on an incline will prevent stomach acids from flowing into your esophagus.
#5. Watch Your Weight:
It makes sense to undertake the following:
(1) Excess fats in the body can trigger the release of certain chemicals that may interfere with proper digestive functioning.
(2) Maintaining a healthy weight can do wonders to prevent heartburn symptoms.
(3) Eating smaller meals and choosing healthy, nutrient-balanced meals will repair both issues at the same time.
(4) If you’ve put on weight, try wearing clothes that are loose around the waist and stomach.
Summary and Conclusion:
5 simple practical tips:
(1) Keep track via a journal of your eating habits and lifestyle;
(2) Take action to eliminate certain foods to identify what’s causing your heartburn problems;
(3) Implement some form of exercise regime into your daily lifestyle.
(4) Be mindful of the practical steps you follow that you take for granted.
