Doesn’t iced soda look good on hot days?
It tastes amazing - until you feel it burn in your stomach.
Caffeinated beverages, including coffee, can stimulate gastric acid and increase acidity.
Did you know that too much or too little stomach acid are similar?
You heard it.
Our stomach acid helps with digestion and the absorption of vitamins and minerals.
When we have low acidity, we may feel bloated after a meal for hours with continuous burping.
When we have high acidity, we may feel a burning sensation, acid reflux or GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease).
Nausea, burping and heartburn are just a few issues we can have.
Many people try antacids such as Tums, Zantac, Pepcid, or Rolaids.
You may try to balance your low acidity with a glass of water with lemon in the morning to help aid digestion. Or try drinking apple cider vinegar.
You may also try a glass of organic low-fat or fat-free milk to help neutralize acidity. The best way to avoid high acidity is to eat smaller, more frequent meals.
Avoid fruits or vegetables and drinks that have high acidity, also.
Portion control will be your best friend.
