1. 3 Simple Acid Reflux Remedies
Heartburn or acid reflux is an avoidable disease. Heartburn occurs
when the stomach produces more acid than it can control and this
acid eventually makes its way up the esophagus and into the throat.
In rare instances there is a medical
reason for this condition. Usually
however it's caused by something
you've done or have a habit of
doing. In this article we will talk about
some of the major acid reflux causes
and what you can do to avoid them and
stay comfortable.
Causes of Acid Reflux or
Heartburn
1. Eating the wrong foods is the
most common cause of acid reflux. In these cases, acid reflux is
usually called heartburn and is temporary. If you get heartburn on a
regular basis, you need to take a serious look at your food choices:
* Do you eat large amounts of spicy food?
* Is chocolate a fixture in your diet?
* Do you eat foods that contain lots of garlic?
* Foods containing tomatoes are also known to cause heartburn.
While these foods are common ingredients, it's not too difficult to
avoid them. You might think you can't live without chocolate, but acid
reflux is a total bummer.
2. Does your weight fall into the normal range? Yeah, this is a
sensitive question. But you don't have to tell us - just tell yourself the
truth because overweight is a major factor for acid reflux. Studies

problems.
3. Is your life extremely stressful? Stress is a big cause of acid
production in the stomach. This reaction to stress is often the reason
people get ulcers. Your body will often decide to take the less extreme
route for dealing with your stress and cause you heartburn instead.
From time to time your heartburn can be considered a pre-cursor to
ulcers. Identify your stressors and work on reducing them. Keeping
yourself calm is a learned skill. Relax and don't sweat the small stuff.
You can minimize the importance of acid reflux in your daily life. By
understanding what causes acid reflux, it becomes simple to change
your habits so you don't trigger the problem. For the most part the
causes of heartburn are basic lifestyle choices and your diet is the
single biggest culprit. With some experimentation you can learn which
foods to stay away from. In some cases, medical treatment is
necessary, but more commonly you can manage your condition by
your own lifestyle choices. Drugs are dangerous acid reflux remedies
so make them a last resort and try more natural methods first.
