Last week, I wrote a blog post – “Can Stress Cause Heartburn Acid Reflux or GERD?” which received a lot of emails from readers who wanted to know to how to manage stress to overcome their heartburn problem.

To help you on your path to reduce stress levels, the following are some suggestions.

Tips for managing stress

- What is the root of your stress – That is the 1st thing you must do. You need to face the issues causing your stress, and either work on fixing the problem(s), or let it go. Unless your stress is caused by something you can change, you need to ask yourself if your health is worth worrying about something you cannot change or have no control over?

- Talk to someone – By talking to someone about your problems, it can help alleviate your stress. Knowing that someone else cares and is willing to listen makes us feel less alone and more important.

- Make better and healthy food choices – You need to avoid the foods and beverages that are known to trigger heartburn including: foods high in fat, spicy foods, chocolate, mint, onions, tomatoes, citrus fruit, caffeinated beverages (coffee, tea, and soda), decaffeinated coffee (has low levels of caffeine and is still very acidic), alcohol, and citrus juices.

- Stop smoking – if you smoke cigarettes, you may feel that smoking helps you manage your stress by calming your nerves. However, smoking has been proven to disrupt sleep, which is detrimental to your health and can increase the impact of stress. So, despite how smoking may make you feel the health risks far outnumber the fleeting comfort.

- Stretch and Breathe – Stand up every once in a while and do a few stretches along with some deep breathing exercises to encourage blood flow, release tension, rejuvenate your muscles, and your brain.
