Answers
Answer:
Acidity or acid reflux is a very common condition affecting many Indians. This condition is characterized by heartburn felt around the lower chest area, which is caused by stomach acid flowing back up into the food pipe. The common causes are unhealthy eating habits and poor lifestyle choices.
Milk can temporarily buffer stomach acid, nutrients in milk, particularly fat, may stimulate the stomach to produce more acid. Even though milk might not be a great heartburn remedy, however, it's a rich source of bone-building calcium.
WAYS TO PREVENT ACIDITY..
1 Eat sparingly and slowly. When the stomach is very full, there can be more reflux into the esophagus.
2 Avoid certain foods.
3 Don't drink carbonated beverages.
4 Stay up after eating.
5 Don't move too fast.
6 Sleep on an incline.
7 Lose weight if it's advised.
8 If you smoke, quit.
