How to control acidity with busy lifestyle

As times have changed, work ethics and practices have greatly evolved. Everything is getting more efficient and quicker, which results in a fast-paced lifestyle. Now a fast-paced lifestyle is a great thing, but it is also a bane to most people. People have to work so hard nowadays that they forget about themselves and focus entirely on their work.

An increasing number of people (belonging to the young, working class category)

are reporting digestion related issues.

Read ahead to learn some effective practices to follow that will keep acidity in check.

• Prepare a schedule before you start your day and follow it. Having a schedule keeps your body clock in an organized cycle which makes it easier to understand your body and your ways.

• Eat smaller and more frequent meals each day instead of a few large meals. This promotes digestion and can aid in preventing heartburn.

• Avoid lying down for at least two hours after a meal or after drinking acidic beverages, like soda, or other caffeinated beverages. This can help to prevent stomach contents from flowing back into the esophagus.

• Quit smoking. Smoking can increase the production of stomach acid and reduce the function of the lower esophageal sphincter, the muscle that keeps acid and other stomach content from reentering the esophagus. Smoking can also decrease the amount of saliva, which neutralizes acid produced by the body.

• Drink more water. Make sure you keep yourself hydrated during the day. By drinking water after a meal, you can dilute the acid that may be accumulated in the esophagus.

• Avoid alcohol. If you want to unwind after a stressful day, try exercise, walking, meditation, stretching, or deep breathing instead of a drink.
