How to reduce heartburn


The first thing to check, if you suffer from heartburn, is your diet. Pay good attention to what you consume. Another factor that is responsible for heartburn is stress. Try and meditate for a few minutes daily. Spicy foods and sweet treats and even some tomato-based products can give you heartburn, so avoid eating them. Include ginger in your diet — it could be in any form. Ginger is known to be a good digestive and is a good cure for heartburn. Following a diet that is rich in green leafy vegetables is also a good idea. Avoid drinks that can trigger reflux, such as alcohol, caffeinated drinks like coffee and carbonated drinks like colas.
    Eat smaller and more frequent meals. A full stomach can put additional pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter, which will increase the chance of some of this food refluxing into the esophagus.
    Elevate your head a few inches while you sleep. Lying down flat presses the stomach's contents and can cause heartburn. With the head higher than the stomach, gravity helps reduce the pressure.
