There are many causes of heartburn and as well many ways in which we can prevent heartburn which we are going to discuss in his post. Having said that, heartburn is a burning sensation that happens in the chest, and acid reflux is usually what causes heartburn. Within further ado, let's just take a look at the causes of heartburn.
Heartburn: Causes
Three factors can easily cause heartburn, which we need to be aware of to prevent us from having heartburn. Dietary, lifestyle factors, and medication conditions can trigger someone to have heartburn. Let's carefully look into them one after another.
Dietary Factor
This has to do with the types of foods that we consume as food can easily irritate our body's esophagus. Having said that we should be careful with the following listed:
Spicy foods.
Caffeinated beverages (tea, coffee, and soda).
Chocolate.
Tomato-based products and tomatoes.
Lifestyle factors
When it comes to lifestyle factors, how we eat, smoke, and do other things can causes us to have heartburn. Below are the causes of heartburn as related to lifestyle factors:
Eating late at night: It is wrong to eat late at night and go to bed without waiting for the food to digest. Doing so can cause heartburn.
Overeating: Overfeeding is not good because it can trigger LES.
In summary the rest are obesity, smoking, and stress.
Medication Conditions
Hiatal Hernia: This can happen when part of my stomach begins to push through the diaphragm into my chest.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: this can be caused by chronic acid reflux.
Heartburn prevention
Now the prevention of heartburn is related to the causes of heartburn i would not want us to go too far than to elaborate more on how we can easily prevent heartburn based on the causes we discussed.
Dietary Changes
Avoid eating food that triggers you to have heartburn. All you have to do is to identify such type of food and avoid the intake of the food.
Stay relaxed after eating: Avoid lying down immediately after eating, sit or walk around for the food you have eaten to digest before lying down.
Reduce the intake of Alcohol and caffeine.
Lifestyle Prevention
Avoid smoking completely.
If you are too fat, try and lose weight if possible.
Avoid wearing clothes that are too tight on you
Medical Prevention
Consult a doctor, when you notice any sign of heartburn.
Take antacids to neutralize stomach acids if possible
Avoid taking over drugs or any high substances.
There are many causes and prevention of heartburn which I believe with the few we have discussed here, stands as useful information for you.
