One of the most unpleasant consequences of poor nutrition is heartburn. It is believed that it can be cured with medicinal methods, but folk medicine leaves much to be desired in this regard.

In fact, you can forget about heartburn if you follow the recommendations of experts.

I recommend eliminating foods that aggravate this condition from your diet: spicy and fatty foods, citrus fruits, tomatoes, onions, garlic, caffeine, chocolate, carbonated drinks and alcohol. Also, fatty and spicy foods can provoke heartburn, - dietitian Olga Redina told Vechernyaya Moskva.

In addition, heartburn can be caused by excess weight, which puts pressure on the stomach.

For nighttime heartburn, elevate your upper body to reduce the risk of "stomach reflux."

But if heartburn occurs frequently, you should consult a doctor.
