News India Live, Digital Desk: When the gastric glands of our stomach start producing more acid than required, it is called hyperacidity. Instead of taking medicines again and again, it is better to adopt natural methods which solve this problem from the root. According to health experts, there are many things present in your kitchen that work faster than antacids.
1. Cold Milk: Immediate Enemy of Acidity
Drinking a glass of cold milk is the simplest and most effective solution during hyperacidity.
Wonders of Calcium: The calcium present in milk absorbs the excess acid in the stomach.
Instant Relief: It cools the lining of the stomach and instantly soothes the burning sensation in the chest. (Note: Do not add sugar to it).
2. Fennel and cumin water: Powerhouse of digestion
Among Indian spices, fennel and cumin are known to calm down the heat in the stomach.
How to use: Boil one spoon fennel and half spoon cumin in water and cool it or chew them raw.
Benefit: It speeds up digestion and prevents the process of gas formation.
3. These natural things are also very effective
You can also try these options to control acidity:
| remedy | Why is it beneficial? | method of use |
|---|---|---|
| Banana | It is a natural antacid that protects the stomach lining. | If you feel acidity, eat a ripe banana. |
| Ginger | It has anti-inflammatory properties that improve digestion. | Chew a small piece of ginger or drink ginger tea. |
| coconut water | It makes the pH level of the body alkaline. | Drinking coconut water on an empty stomach is a panacea. |
4. Consumption of Jaggery (Jaggery Hack)
There has been a tradition of eating jaggery after meals since ancient times. Jaggery is rich in magnesium, which helps in reducing the acidity of the stomach and makes the digestive system alkaline.
5. Basil leaves
Basil leaves have anti-inflammatory properties. In case of acidity, chewing 3-5 basil leaves reduces the formation of gas in the stomach and provides instant relief.
Keep these things in mind for safety
Eat little by little: Eat small meals at intervals instead of eating a lot at one go.
dinner: Have food at least 2-3 hours before sleeping.
Avoid caffeine: Reduce the consumption of tea, coffee and carbonated drinks (cold drinks), as they increase acid production.
