This Is Why You Keep Having Heartburn by Herbalaffairs01: 9:06am On Jan 04, 2023
Heartburn is a common condition that causes a burning sensation in your chest and throat. it happens when your stomach's acid comes back up into your throat .
Some common causes of heartburn include:

Eating spicy, fatty, or acidic foods: which can cause the lower esophageal sphincter (the muscular valve that separates the esophagus from the stomach) to relax and allow stomach acid to flow back up into the esophagus.

Overeating: which can put pressure on the stomach and cause stomach acid to be pushed back up into the esophagus.

Lying down or bending over after eating: [/b]which can allow stomach acid to flow back up into the esophagus.

[b]Being overweight or obese:
which can increase pressure on the stomach and cause heartburn.

Pregnancy: which can cause hormonal changes that relax the lower esophageal sphincter and increase the risk of heartburn.

Certain medications:[/b]such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and certain antibiotics, which can irritate the lining of the esophagus and cause heartburn.

[b]Some natural remedies for heartburn are:

Aloe Vera juice
Ginger
Apple cider vinegar( available to order)
Banana
Mint leaves
Licorice

Lifestyle changes: making small changes to your diet and increasing physical activity could relieve your heartburn. Try eliminating foods that trigger your heartburn such as fatty or spicy foods, caffeine, chocolate, or carbonated beverages, to name a few. Omitting these from your diet may eliminate the issue altogether.

Watching when you eat: Try not to eat at least two or three hours before bed so your stomach has a chance to empty itself before you lie down.

Try loose clothing: Tight clothing puts pressure on the abdomen.
