To enhance the benefits of our Acid Calm supplements:

• Dietary Changes: Focus on non-acidic, easily digestible foods. Integrate whole grains, leafy greens, vegetables. Avoid spicy foods, fried foods, acidic fruits, and high-fat meats, which can aggravate acid production.

• Eat Smaller, Frequent Meals: Instead of three large meals, opt for five to six smaller meals throughout the day. This prevents the stomach from being overly full and reduces the chance of acid reflux.

• Stay Upright After Eating: After having a meal, try to stay upright for at least 2-3 hours. This prevents acid from moving up into the oesophagus. Avoid lying down immediately after eating.

• Elevate the Head of Your Bed: If heartburn bothers you at night, try raising the head of your bed a little bit. This can help keep acid in the stomach.

• Limit Acidic Beverages: Reduce or eliminate the intake of coffee, soda, and alcohol. All of these can contribute to increased stomach acidity.

• Avoid Tight Clothing: Tight belts or waistbands can compress the stomach, pushing acid into the oesophagus.

• Limit the Use of NSAIDs: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, like ibuprofen, can irritate the stomach lining. If possible, limit your intake and discuss alternatives with your healthcare provider.

• Manage Stress: High stress levels can increase stomach acid production. Engage in relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing exercises, or gentle yoga to manage stress.

• Stop Smoking: Smoking can weaken the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing acid to reflux into the oesophagus more easily.

• Limit Carbonated Beverages: The bubbles from carbonated drinks can put pressure on the stomach, forcing acid up into the oesophagus.

• Monitor Potential Triggers: Some foods or activities might trigger heartburn for some people and not for others. Maintain a diary to track what might be triggering your symptoms and avoid those triggers.

• Maintain a Healthy Weight: Extra weight, especially around the abdomen, can put pressure on the stomach, causing acid reflux. A balanced diet and regular exercise can help maintain a healthy weight.

• Herbal Teas: Consider drinking herbal teas like our Digestion Tea or Mint Tea – or if you don’t have our blends to hand, peppermint or chamomile can also help soothe the oesophagus and stomach lining.
