Heartburn remedies acid reflux symptoms
With more and more people suffering from chronic heartburn, many of them want to know is acid reflux dangerous or not?
This is a very good question, but not the easiest one to answer.
Acid reflux on its own is not terminal,
However if the condition is left untreated and becomes chronic, then yes,
A Sign That Something Is Not Quite Right
If you are suffering from acid reflux, then your digestive system is telling you that something is wrong
Most people with this condition go about treating their reflux the wrong way.
They often take the quick fix route by taking antacids, proton inhibitors and H2 blockers.
These medications will often help you experience short-term relief,
However you need to keep taking them to maintain the desired effect.
This can easily lead to an addiction.
Remember these pills will not cure your acid reflux and if you keep taking them, your acid reflux can eventually become dangerous.
A lack of acid in your stomach can actually acerbate the symptoms.
Your stomach cells secrete acid for a number of very important reasons.
It is vital for breaking down food in to a more digestible state.
The Common Cause Of Acid Reflux
The most common cause of acid reflux is undigested food.
Stubbornly rotting away in the pit of your stomach.
As a lack of acid cannot effectively control the growth of bad bacteria they cause the undigested food to ferment
Although, they provide short-term relief acid reflux medications will never solve the problem
Because they only focus on the symptoms and not the cause.
By being dependent on medications you are just ignoring or covering up the problems your digestion system is trying to communicate to you.
The Sign Of An Unbalanced Digestive System
Acid reflux is a sign that your digestive system is unbalanced,
But you can rebalance it by changing the foods you eat and how your eat them.
For example fat, greasy fried foods are very hard for our digestion to breakdown.
Do your digestion Favour by cutting out these foods
Replacing them with natural whole foods that include plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.
These foods also contain natural digestive enzymes that will help you digest your foods for effectively.
