How to Prevent Summertime Heartburn
For many people, summer is the time for picnics and quick and easy meals. It can also be a time of increased heartburn. Knowing what foods can trigger your heartburn, what you can eat, and how you can prevent heartburn can help you reduce those heartburn episodes.
==> Summer Fight Against Heartburn Triggers
Foods and beverages that are most often heartburn triggers:
* Fatty meats
* Fried foods
* Citrus fruits
* Citrus juices
* Chocolate
* Peppermint
* Excessive alcohol consumption (especially red wine)
* Tomatoes and tomato-based products
* Caffeinated beverages, such as coffee
* Carbonated beverages, such as colas
* Peppers
* Garlic and onions
Foods you can eat for a heartburn-free summer:
Meat
Grill your meats instead of frying, and choose only lean meats. You can still enjoy burgers at your picnics, when you use only the leanest meat and grill them instead of frying.
Salads and Side Dishes
Your salads can be just as tasty when you use carrots or other milder vegetables, instead of tomatoes. An old favorite at picnics, potato salad, can still be enjoyed without the heartburn.
What You Drink
Instead of drinking carbonated drinks, such as colas, drink water, non-citrus fruit drinks, or iced tea. Also, if you want to consume alcoholic beverages, drink less or drink such ones as wine coolers, which contain less alcohol.
Eat smaller meals.
Large meals expand your stomach and increase upward pressure against the esophageal sphincter. The stomach will also produce more acid.
