Heartburn, or gastroesophageal reflux (the more painful form), can be much reduced by choosing to make modifications in your habits. There is a strong chance that you won't have to resort to drugs or surgery if you make these changes.
It is very commonplace to suffer from acid reflux later in the evening, so choose not to eat after dark. If doable, eat the final food of the day hours before you retire. If you enjoy snacking at night, it may be time to try to put an stop to that habit.
Diet may be one of the most consequential routines you might change to help your heartburn. If you are wanting to limit your chances of having acid reflux, stay away from acid-forming food. Juice, coffee, and alcohol are beverages that are best avoided.
You may believe that some foods are fine, but they might promote acid production. Obviously, peppers can be hot and should be avoided, but chocolate may also promote acid reflux because it is high in fat. Tomato-based foods like pizza pies and lasagna will almost constantly cause heartburn if the individual eating it is prone to acid reflux.
You should also avoid eating larger servings. Scale down the quantity of food you eat. Consuming too much may cause acids in the belly to be pushed upwards, which leads to a painful burning sensation in the throat.
