Many of us after consuming meals get pain in the chest and uncomfortable sensation in the throat etc. The reason for these issues is due to heartburns and acid reflux. We often take medicines for this issue without knowing the truth that the medicines might lead to vitamin deficiencies etc in us.
It is important to note that the symptoms of heartburns could be relieved by following some changes in the diet plus in the lifestyle etc.
To avoid getting heartburn issue, it is important that we must avoid the intake of these foods.
Avoid Soda and Carbonated Drinks Intake:
It must be noted that when these drinks are consumed they release the oesophagal sphincter and increase the acidity of stomach acid in us. It is said that regular water or protein shake would be superb.
Avoid Citrus Juices Intake:
When consumed in their original form, grapefruit and oranges could lead to heartburns in us. So, please avoid consuming citrus juices.
Avoid Gluten Intake:
Not many of us know that intake of gluten could result in the aggravation of the stomach and digestive system. This could further lead to systematic inflammation etc. There are many studies that have shown a relationship between people with heartburns, GERD etc and gluten sensitivity.
Say no to Peppermint:
There are some people who have the habit of popping peppermint after consuming meals. This must be stopped immediately as peppermint could lead to heartburns. Mostly, peppermints are known for soothing the digestive system but when taken in high amounts peppermint could trigger acid reflux and heartburns in us.
Chocolate to be Avoided:
We all love to eat delicious chocolates. Point is the stomach acid could escape into the oesophagus because chocolate intake could relax the oesophageal sphincter. Hence, the intake of chocolates must be avoided to be free from heartburns issue.
