Dealing With Bipolar Disease

When it comes to heartburn and acid reflux disease, its hard to separate fact from fiction. So many people believe old wives tales about heart burn. While taking antacids may help relief your heartburn today, it wont cure the problem. The only way to reverse the damage caused by acid reflux is by adopting a healthful diet and understanding the myths surrounding acid reflux.

Enjoy spicy foods

One myth is that you can prevent acid reflux by avoiding spicy foods. But researchers from Stanford University found avoiding spicy foods or drinking milk will not relieve heartburn. The only changes that seem to work include elevating your head while you sleep and eating smaller meals.

Eating more often

When people first hear they are supposed to eat more often, they rejoice. But eating more often does not mean eating more food. It just means you should have small meals spread out throughout the day. When it comes to acid reflux, eating large meals takes a toll on your digestive system. Small meals demand less hydrochloric acid for digestion. Make sure you eat a balanced meal including some complex carbohydrate with lean protein and healthy fats such as olive oil. High-fat meals require more stomach acid which can aggravate heartburn. While some experts say coffee, tea and alcohol do not play a role in acid reflux, its still a good idea to limit alcohol. Adhering to the phrase everything in moderation, can mean the difference between being thin or obese. Avoid beer and soda pop if you suffer with acid reflux. Diet soda is the most acid-forming beverage on the market. Avoid it like the plague. Besides, researchers have shown many times drinking diet soda will actually make you gain weight instead of lose it.

Tips for preventing heartburn

To prevent heartburn, go for a brisk walk after dinner. Give yourself a good hour before lying down after a meal. Also, if you can, elevate your head while sleeping. When you overindulge, try using an antacid, which is sold without a prescription, to alleviate the discomfort associated with heartburn. Just make a vow to adopt better eating habits and stop smoking. Some of the long-term risks associated with GERD include ulcers, asthma and cancer of the esophagus. Realize antacids are not candy. Some of the side effects include diarrhea and constipation. Use them only rarely and focus on lifestyle changes.
