Heartburn Prevention and Cure
When talking about stopping heartburn, two main avenues are usually discussed. Many think that the best heartburn remedy is to stop it before it starts. Others don’t really worry about prevention, preferring to find a remedy after the fact.
If we want to avoid heartburn, then go to the more preventative side of medicine, adopting a proper diet for heartburn prevention and allowing common sense overtake us at just the right time.
Medical professionals insist that prevention is the only safe heartburn remedy available. Chronic heartburn can lead to other gastric problems, so, prevention is the way to go.
Don’t over eat! Nothing causes more heartburn than over eating.
Also, have a banana before your main meal. Something in bananas coats your stomach lining and helps stop heartburn.
If, for whatever reason, your prevention methods fail you, you may need to use one of the popular home remedies for heartburn. We’ll look at two that are known to be effective.
First, you can take 1 teaspoon of common baking soda completely dissolved in about 4 ounces of water. Drink the potion and get ready for the belches to begin.
Vinegar is another good remedy. A one ounce shot followed by a good drink of water often brings immediate relief. If the thought of drinking vinegar makes you gag substitute a 50/50 mix of apple cider vinegar and water instead.
