Heartburn Relief: Stop That Burning Feeling
by Jim Olio

Millions of people around the world today will at some stage of their lives find themselves suffering from the occasional, but very minor bouts of heartburn. Often, as soon as they feel the onset of the symptoms associated with this condition, they will take some kind of heartburn relief which can be purchased over the counter at their local drugstore or pharmacists. But, not only are there medications which can be purchased over the counter to treat this condition, if it becomes more severe, then the person may need to have a medication prescribed to treat it by their doctor.

However, there are other things a person can do in order to help relieve them symptoms which are associated with this particular stomach condition and below we will take a look at just some of them.

When eating a meal it is best that you eat slowly, and not too much, and also make sure you chew every mouthful of food completely, before you actually swallow, can help to prevent heartburn from occurring. Also, it may be wise to stop eating before you actually become too full and never exercise immediately after you have eaten. Generally, it is best to wait around 2 to 3 hours before you carry out any form of exercise. Also, if you eat a reasonably large meal in the evening then do so about 3 hours before you are due to go to bed.

Also, when you are looking for ways to relieve the symptoms associated with heartburn, it is important that you ensure that you drink adequate amounts of water. Sometimes a person may find that they suffer from heartburn after or during exercise because they may well have become dehydrated.

As well as making changes to your dietary habits, there are other kinds of remedies you may want to consider using for helping to relieve the symptoms of heartburn and below we provide a couple that you may want to consider.

1. Eat either some watermelon or banana or cucumber every hour or so.

2. When you start to feel the symptoms associated with heartburn then you should start eating a few almonds.

3. If you are looking for a quick way to provide yourself with heartburn relief then drink a glass of cold milk. Not only does it help to relieve the symptoms of this condition, but also helps to reduce the amount of acidity in the stomach.

However, if you find that the heartburn relief treatments that you are using can not help to relieve them, or you are experience heartburn on a more frequent basis, then you should arrange to see your doctor. As there may well be some other underlying cause for your condition and it is not heartburn that is the problem.
