Keep Acid Reflux off the Plate This Season

It’s the wedding season and we all end up eating food rich in oil and calories every other night. Not only is that terrible for your weight but is ghastly for your digestive system. This is the very season when most of us complain of gastric trouble due to over eating or acid reflux. Weddings are late night affairs and going to bed immediately after a heavy meal is inviting heartburn.

Acid reflux can be so distressing and uncomfortable. Its feels like lava rising up the throat as your gastric contents of your stomach flow backward and up into your food pipe. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is something so painful that most of us end up putting an end to our misery by swallowing over-the-counter antacid tablets. But these allopathic medicines disrupt the natural stomach acid needed to digest properly, absorb vitamins and minerals, and keep harmful overgrowth of bacteria in check.

It’s smarter to control your eating habits and monitor your lifestyle to nip the cause of your heartburn in the bud. Consuming too many spicy foods, citrus, fiber, smoking, and food sensitivities are major causes contributing to acidity. But if you are still experiencing discomfort due to heartburn perhaps a few natural remedies could help you feel better:



Fennel:

Vitamin- and mineral-rich fennel has aided digestion since time immemorial. It possesses anethole that relaxes the stomach. You can seep some crushed fennel seeds in boiling water to make a tea and sip it after a meal to soothe you.


Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is a natural anti-inflammatory that soothes an inflamed esophagus and stomach lining. You can mix two to three ounces with eight ounces of coconut water or fruit juice, and have it 15 to 20 minutes before eating.


Apples, Bananas, & Papaya:

If you are suffering from heartburn then you must avoid citrus fruits but apples can help soothe the stomach thanks to its pectin, tartaric and malic acid. The papain in papaya, dissolves carbs, speeds up the metabolism, decreases inflammation, and treats constipation proving to be miraculous for treating acid reflux. Bananas are also your best friend in case of tummy trouble as they coat the lining of the stomach to soothe it and have a natural antacid effect.


Ginger

Ginger is one of the oldest remedies for digestive issues and is a main ingredient for digestive herbal formulas. Sipping on ginger tea whenever your acid reflux strikes is a quick fix and can even calm an upset stomach.
