ACID REFLUX DIET

Many people take antacids for aquick ease of acid reflux,but a proper diet is the best solutions for most of us.

DIET TIPS:
# eat small,frequent meals instead of three big meals a day.
Small amounts of food would exert less workload on the stomach and requires less acid secretion for digestion.
# Avoid high-fat meals or deep-fried foods. High fat foods will remain in the stomach longer, thus causing the need for more stomach acid in order to digest them.
# don't overeat! Eating too much of any foods will stimulate the stomach to secret more acids for digestion.
# avoid alchohol
# Maintain upright position during and at least 45 minutes after eating.
# Don't think that beverages just quickly flow through your stomach without affecting acid production. Surprisingly, a lot of beverages stimulate acid secretion such as beer, wine and soda. The worst of all is beer; it could double your stomach acid within an hour.
