There are two trends of thought on how to stop heartburn. The first trend is to go on the offensive, or, in other words, stop heartburn before it starts! The other side just waits until heartburn happens and then looks for a remedy.
If we want to avoid heartburn, then make certain lifestyle changes replacing our bad eating habits with good ones and allowing common sense overtake us at just the right time.
The medical people contend that the only safe heartburn remedy is prevention. Chronic heartburn can lead to other gastric problems, so, prevention is the way to go.
Don’t stuff yourself at mealtime! Nothing causes more heartburn than over eating.
You can also prevent heartburn by eating a banana before meals. It will coat your stomach lining and keep acid at bay.
Even with the best intentions, our prevention regimen may fail us, making a heartburn home remedy necessary. Let’s explore 2 of the most effective ones.
My favorite is to dissolve a teaspoon of baking soda in water. Once you drink the water, relief is only a couple of burps away.
Common household vinegar can also cure heartburn. Drinking a shot and following it with a drink of water will immediately neutralize excess acid. If drinking vinegar seems too harsh use equal parts of water and apple cider vinegar instead.
