Acidity

We have all suffered from acidity at some point in our lives. With our busy work schedules, we sometimes fail to eat anything throughout the day. Sometimes we only eat two meals a day, and at other times we simply skip these meals. But, our bad eating habits can cause acidity.

Your stomach normally secretes acid that is essential for the digestive process. This acid helps in breaking down the food during digestion. Your stomach keeps secreting juices to digest food and when it does not get any food to act on it acts on the stomach lining, which causes acidity.


Some common causes of acidity are: 

  1. Eating fast food regularly
  2. Addiction to caffeine
  3. Smoking
  4. Too much alcohol consumption
  5. Leaving too much of a gap in-between meals

Some Symptoms of acidity are:


Some easy remedies: 

√ Have a glass of lukewarm water every day.
√ Jaggery (gur), lemon, banana, almonds and yogurt (curd) are all known to give you instant relief 
√ Coconut Water is known to soothe the system if you suffer from acidity.
√ Boil some mint or basil (tulsi) leaves in water and have a glass of this after meals.
√ Include bananas, watermelons and cucumbers in your daily diet.
√ Sucking on a piece of clove is another effective remedy.
√ Besides, trying to correct the cause, avoid excessive intake of caffeine
 and alcohol.
