What is acidity ?
Acidity issues arise when there is excess production of this stomach acid !
What could be the reason ??
It could be triggered due to several situations such as—eating acidic foods , skipping meals , late-night dinners , long gaps between meals , frequent food intake , stress , dehydration , and so on ! Since the reason could be anything , you need to fix the root cause instead of popping pills for instant results .
When you pop anti-acids like candy it makes your gut worse in the long run . Frequent use of anti-acidity drugs can neutralize the effect of hydrochloric acid produced naturally by the stomach and alter the entire process of digestion .
The stomach requires an acidic medium to digest food , kill bacteria etc .
But , when the acid levels decrease , it may allow bacteria to thrive in the system . Regular use of such drugs without the supervision of professionals can alter the absorption of important elements like zinc , iron and chromium .
The production of digestive enzymes will be hampered and in the worst case , it can lead to kidney damage .
The body has its own mechanism to balance the pH naturally , we just have to follow the basics of providing good nutrition , adequate activity and quality sleep to enhance its effect .
Here are some lifestyle changes to do ;
1 Avoid skipping meals .
2 Eat at the same time daily , long gaps between meals in an irregular pattern can lead to acidity .
3 Avoid late night eating .
4 Avoid overeating or under-eating .
5 Chew well , avoid larger chunks of food .
6 Consume tea / coffee after 2 hours of waking up and not on empty stomach .
