What to eat when heartburn?

According to many researchers, many cases of chronic pharyngitis, sinusitis are a consequence of untreated heartburn.

Why is heartburn?

During digestion, the stomach must contract to puree the food. At the same time with the kneading motion, a small amount of sour water in the stomach can follow the stomach wall to bounce back to the epigastric region, which is adjacent to the esophagus and stomach. This phenomenon is completely normal if the amount of sour water is negligible. But when the normal limit is exceeded, the acidic water in the stomach may regress along the esophagus up to the throat, causing heartburn and causing a burning sensation in the area under the breastbone.

To treat heartburn, physicians often combine antacids containing minerals such as aluminum, lime and magnesium and antispasmodics. This therapy in terms of mechanism only works symptomatically. This means that it is easy to be effective in the early stages but will lose its performance and easily disrupt minerals in the body if used for a long time. Therefore, you should coordinate some foods to enhance the effectiveness of the medicine and shorten the course.

Food should be used

Protein: Not only works to neutralize sour water in the stomach but also an important factor for the contraction of smooth stomach muscles. The more protein a meal is from lean meat, fish, poultry, the more acidic the acid will flow. Therefore, do not "be vegetarian" during heartburn.

Fiber : Is one of the effective measures to prevent heartburn. Constipation is one of the reasons why the stomach contributes to the rhythm of the body. Therefore brown rice, sticky rice is a very good dish for people with digestive tract too sensitive. But do not forget to drink plenty of water during and after a meal to optimize the laxative effect of fiber. If you find good vinegar made from fruits such as bananas, apples, you should dilute 1 teaspoon in a large glass of warm water and take small sips before meals. Difficult to have gastrointestinal antispasmodics better and cheaper.

Sour dish

Stomach acid is the cause of gastric mucosal irritation and results in epigastric inflammation, which is very common today.Acidic irritation can also be a lever leading to the effects of inflammation, bleeding or even malignant neoplasm along the esophagus to the throat.

Improvement:

Food should be limited

Fried dishes because of increased stomach motility.

Essential oils such as eucalyptus oil and peppermint oil because the active ingredient in plant essential oils causes the epigastric expansion to help the acid reflux. The habit of sucking on candy is more harmful than the benefit of heartburn.

Wine, coffee, tea, carbonated soft drinks and especially chocolate because of the increase in the amount of sour water in the stomach.

Spices such as onions, garlic, galangal, curry because of the active ingredients in them reduce the contraction of the epigastric region.

Too sour juice such as lemon juice, grapefruit can cause reflexes of esophageal spasm and involuntarily support heartburn.

Also, do not let your stomach be too hungry, which is a basic measure to prevent heartburn. In many cases, especially in pregnant women, or obese people, in order to reduce pressure in the stomach, many small meals in the day are more beneficial than punctual eating habits with 3 meals. In addition, do not eat too much, eat slowly, chew carefully so that the stomach is slowly working. After all, don't lie down or sit forward in front of a meal.
