Another tips is not to eat two to three hours before bed. Going to bed or lying down before food is properly digested can cause heartburn. When your stomach is digesting foods there will be higher levels of stomach acid present. Eating smaller portions of food can help your stomach more easily digest food and help reduce your risk of developing heartburn. Take your time while eating your meals. Eating more slowly and chewing your food properly makes it easier to digest and will lower the acid levels in your stomach, in turn, reducing your risk of heartburn.Sometimes the best heartburn remedies can be prevention.
If you are suffering from sever heartburn, two or more times a week, you should talk to your doctor.
