Acid Reflux Remedies

Acid reflux is usually a result of poor eating habits, stress and lack of sleep. The simplest acid reflux remedies include improving your diet and lifestyle.

Try taking these steps as acid reflux remedies:

• Study your diet. Keep a log of what foods seem to trigger your acid attacks. Citrus, tomatoes, caffeine and spicy foods are the most common. When you find your triggers, remove them from your diet to see how you react.
• If you smoke cigarettes, quitting may help.
• Losing weight. Excess body fat can cause pressure on the stomach.
• Reduce your stress levels with exercise and meditation.
• Avoid eating meals that are too large.
• Avoid eating past two to three hours before bed time.

These foods or beverages may serve as acid reflux remedies:

• Carrots and cabbage help regulate the amount of gastric acid produced in the stomach.
• Apples and bananas also help regulate the amount of gastric acid produced in the stomach.
• Carbohydrate rich foods, such as rice, bread and pasta.
• Spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, mace and nutmeg.
• Dried figs.
• Pineapple.
• Cabbage.
• Papaya.
• Apple cider vinegar calms the stomach and helps decrease the amount of acid produced.
• Ginger tea is known for dealing with problems caused by spicy foods.
• Aloe Vera juice has an anti-inflammatory effect.
• Raw cabbage juice.

In addition to an improved lifestyle, acid reflux relief may be found in probiotics.* Probiotics help regulate the bacteria that are present in the digestive system.* When bad bacteria overtake the good, digestive issues, such as acid reflux can occur. Probiotics restore and maintain beneficial bacteria to support a healthy digestive tract.*

Over-the-counter antacids may temporary relieve acid reflux symptoms, but they rarely get to the root problem. Seek natural acid reflux relief for optimum health.
