Acid Reflux Diet For Heartburn

By Rosie Shannon

When we get older our bodies go through a number of different changes. We start running less, so we start becoming less active, which will lead to excess body weight. Also, the way our body's work inside change too, we suddenly start to get heartburn. There are things we can do about most of them, like an acid reflux diet for the heartburn, and daily exercise for the fat.

When it comes to an acid reflux diet you want to make sure that you are not eating anything that is going to give you acid, or heart burn. A lot of the time you will find when you eat garlic you will get heartburn and indigestion.

With garlic being the main culprit in the heartburn department, you may want to get rid of it. There are a few other foods you will need to get rid of. This is what acid reflux or heartburn is: an imbalance of acid in your gut, which makes your stomach acids play up.

This is why you will start passing wind through your mouth more often, and most of the time, it will burn your throat - it is the excess acid. Now, you know why drinking milk works so well when you have acid! When you suffer from something like this you do not want to eat heartburn tablets for the rest of your life.

This is why it is important that you change your diet. Keep a log of what you eat and when you eat it. You cannot follow a specific diet when it comes to something like this, because different things affect different people. The log will help you understand what you ate that gave you the heartburn.

This way you will be able to eliminate the food that is giving you heartburn and eat more of the foods that are not. That is the secret of a good acid reflux diet - and remember, lay off of those antacid tablets, they are just making things worse.
