Heartburn Causes
By admin | April 15, 2009
The biggest culprit of heartburn is food. Food is the major trigger for heartburn. Knowing what foods trigger symptoms of heartburn is something that is vital to know if you are going to cure it or prevent the symptoms from happening again.
It sounds very nerdy, but if you get severe heartburn, having a food diary can make a big difference. Write down everything you consume, food and drink and make notes of everything that gives you symptoms of heartburn. It’s as simple as that. You can now weed out the foods that cause your heartburn. Make sure you don’t eat before bed either. Give it at least 2 hours.
Fatty foods, spicy foods, coffee, alcohol, chocolate and even tomatoes are the major food culprits. If you like these foods and you find a particular food is the major cause of your heartburn, try and cut back as much as you can if you don’t feel you can go cold turkey.
Stress is also a major cause of heartburn, so if you are feeling stressed, don’t eat those foods that bring on heartburn symptoms at all. Relax. Take some time off. Do something you enjoy. Do things that de stress you.
It’s been proven that people who eat smaller meals, more often, don’t suffer as badly from heartburn as people who tend to eat 2 or 3 large meals a day. If you suffer from heartburn, you know that if often follows a large meal. Exercising more often, eating smaller meals and chewing more slowly are all good ways to combat heart burn.
