Acid dyspepsia or hyperacidity is presence of excess acid in the
stomach, it needs to be cured effectively and permanently because if it
stays for longer period can cause serious damage to the health.
According to medical experts acid and alkali are present in the human
body and are part of the body, however healthy body is an alkaline body,
which means that alkali shall be present in the larger part than the
acid. The most serious unhealthy conditions are acidic conditions. All
the foods which a human being eats either leaves an acidic ash or
alkaline ash which forms the nature of the body.
Acid is important
for digesting the food effectively, sometimes due to different reasons
gastric glands situated in the stomach secrete more than required acid
which creates condition of hyperacidity in the body. There are many
factors which work as triggers for gastric glands to secrete more than
required acid in the stomach. Lifestyle related issues, eating habits,
foods, sleeping pattern and environment, all play an important role in
affecting the secretion of acid in the stomach. Certain types of food
are known to promote excess acid secretion and some drinks like tea,
coffee, habit of smoking and alcohol also promote excessive acid
secretion.
To get an effective and permanent treatment of the
problem one must consider all the possibilities which can initiate the
problem to identify the root cause. There are many remedies which can
provide immediate relief from the problem but without treating the root
cause of the problem the treatment will not be permanent in nature. Some
commonly associated problems which may initiate hyperacidity are
constipation, flatulence, indigestion, malfunctioning of liver and
stress. Hyperacidity in a person having any of these problems subsides
with the treatment of the problem itself.
Consuming buttermilk
after meals is an excellent remedy for hyperacidity and if taken
regularly can provide effective and permanent treatment. Eating jaggery
or a piece of clove after meal also helps in treating the problem. Lemon
may be acidic in nature but contains digestive enzymes and good acid,
consuming sweet lemon juice before meals helps in digesting the food and
nullifying the acid in the stomach.
Increased intake of fruits
like banana, melon, pineapple, apple and guava are very useful in
treating the problem of hyperacidity. Consumption of water shall be paid
importance not only to avoid the excess secretion of acid but also for
good overall health, an adult shall consume 8-10 glasses of water
everyday. Avoiding spicy food and fried food is a good practice to
prevent hyperacidity.
Ginger is an excellent remedy for all sorts
of stomach related issues; it has medicinal properties as well as acts
as a good digestive aid. Preparing traditional tea mixed with ginger can
also work as a good remedy for hyperacidity. Consuming ginger juice
with honey after meals is a sure remedy for curing excess acid secretion
and good digestion. Apart from remedies healthy habits are equally
important for treating the problem effectively and permanently. Do not
lie down immediately after the meals, take a mild walk after meals, most
of the time people eat contradictory foods like milk after meat or
lemon in the diet and milk later, such habits surely promote excessive
acid during digestion to cause hyperacidity.
