One of the most common digestive disorders is acidity, which can cause heartburn – a burning sensation in the chest, stomach, and throat.

We often don’t give due attention to the digestive issues that they deserve. This could be because most of the time the discomfort is temporary or for a short spell. We only react to digestive issues if the condition becomes extremely painful to endure. One of the most common digestive disorders is acidity. Acidity is defined as a digestive disease in which stomach acid or bile irritates the food pipelining. Acidity can cause heartburn – a burning sensation in the chest, stomach, and throat.

Frequent episodes of heartburn (more than two-three times a week) may lead to severe problems like Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), which calls for medical intervention.

Common symptoms associated with acidity are:

• Abdominal discomfort, especially on an empty stomach
• Nausea or maybe vomiting Bloating
• Loose motions or constipation
• Loss of appetite

To overcome the problem of acidity, one must maintain a healthy lifestyle, which means eating at the right time, eating in a sitting position, chewing your food well, sitting upright for at least half an hour after a meal. Small frequent meals, as opposed to heavy meals and regular exercise all, help keep this in control.
