How to avoid heartburn with lifestyle adjustments and natural remedies

Well I think if you are having heartburn the first thing to ask yourself is why because that’s not normal.
 
And you know what, your stomach is telling you it’s unhappy and you want to figure out why it’s unhappy.
 
Either you are eating the wrong foods, you are eating too much, you are eating at the wrong time, you are
eating wrong combinations of foods, you are putting things into the stomach that are irritating, other aspects
of lifestyle, particularly stress for example, are interfering with digestion.
 
So I think you want to do a thorough analysis of that, and often heartburn can be eliminated simply by
making appropriate adjustments in diet and other aspects of lifestyle.
 
There are some natural remedies that are effective, things like chamomile tea for example, which can be
very soothing to the stomach.
 
There is a natural remedy called DGL, which is a licorice extract that you can get in any health food store
that increases the mucus coating in the stomach; it makes it more resistant to stomach acid.
 
And I recommend doing these things, the lifestyle adjustments and the natural remedies, before you take
one of the strong pharmaceutical drugs that block stomach acid production.
 
There’s a lot of dangers associated with those that many people don’t think about and they are suppressive
drugs; it’s easy to become dependent on them, that’s really not the solution.
 
If you are eating right, if you are living right you shouldn’t be having heartburn.
