Ten Simple Steps To A Heartburn Free Life

Common sense and late scientific research establish a clear connection between heartburn and diet. Everyone has a hit list of foods that they know they have to avoid or they will suffer the consequences! Foods like high sugar fruit or juice, fatty foods, coffee, tea, peppermint, chocolate, or highly spiced foods are usually to be avoided. What’s the common ground for all these foods? They are all highly acidic foods!
Here are ten simple, easy to implement heartburn remedies:
Heartburn remedy number one: Don’t go to bed with a full stomach. This is always a fine suggestion, plus, the types of foods and drinks consumed when alkalizing are all light, often raw, well combined etc - they don’t tax your digestive system, in fact, they are designed to assist it! There are no massive, fatty, heavy meals!
Heartburn remedy number two: Don’t overeat. As above, the types of meals on an alkaline diet literally make this something you never have to worry about. That’s not to say you never have a nice satisfying meal, but the ingredients are so easy on your digestive system.
Heartburn remedy number three: Eat slowly. Definitely recommended while alkalizing. The suggestion is also to have five or six smaller meals throughout the day rather than overloading your system all at once
Heartburn remedy number four: Balance your food. Food combining is important and can help you establish a pH balance in your food intake. Eating sensibly alone is not enough.
Heartburn remedy number five: Wear looser-fitting clothes. Yep, this is not a joke.
Heartburn remedy number six: Avoid heartburn triggers. These are the highly acidic foods we mentioned earlier. Obviously, these are totally avoided!
BHeartburn remedy number seven: Shed some pounds. Being at your ideal weight is proposed to help heartburn considerably, and people who are on the alkaline diet course are losing weight quickly and easily. When you are alkaline you find your natural weight really quickly. Your body hangs on to fat to protect you from the toxins created by eating so many acids!
Heartburn remedy number eight: Stop smoking. No ifs ends or buts on this one.
Heartburn remedy number nine: Avoid alcohol unless its a glass of red wine.
Heartburn remedy number ten: Drink alkaline, ionized water.One of the most important elements of the any diet is being properly hydrated. Giving your body an abundance of nourishment throughout the day. If we all could drink a gallon of good quality ionized water per day we’d have far less sickness and disease in the world including heartburn.
What you eat and drink is clearly a massive factor. If you are eating strong acids such as unhealthy fats, sweets, sugars, chocolates, fizzy drinks, alcohol, cigarettes, meat, dairy, yeasts, refined foods, chips, crisps etc then more stomach acid needs to be produced in order to digest them. Much more stomach acid than it would like to! And when this happens, the chances of this acid backing up the esophagus increase and you’re likely to feel the burn.
When you eat more alkaline foods your stomach produces MUCH less acid. Click here for a list of acid and alkaline foods - but you’ll not be surprised to find that alkaline foods include all of the things you KNOW are good for you - leafy green vegetables, salads, fresh foods, raw foods, seeds, nuts, pulses, low sugar foods etc.
It is so clear to me that if you suffer from it, by switching to an alkaline diet you can stop heartburn straight away. Relief from heartburn really is just a few dietary changes away! More on food combining.
And you don’t have to suddenly live like a monk, give up everything and become someone else - you can make these changes a large part of your diet - but there is still room for variety, fun and...treats!
