Bloating
Acidity is one of the most common disorders which is being faced by the new
generation, specially by people who are high profile professionals. Acid is
a natural agent of the body which is used for the digestive process.
Whenever we eat something, the cells in the stomach lining excrete acid to
digest it but when this acid is excreted in much more quantity than needed,
then the problem of occurs. This happens when the stomach is unable to
digest food.
Acidity is also caused by stress. Stress disturbs the normal functioning of
the body. Due to less energy, incorrect blood flow and oxygen, the digestive
process also slows down. This leads to accumulation of undigested food in
the stomach. The stomach cells then excretes excess acid, thus, causing
problems. One of the major disease, is GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux
Disease).
In this case the excess acid goes up to the esophagus, as soon as the person
lies down. At this time he experiences heartburn. A person with GERD feels a
stabbing pain in his heart. This is caused because the esophagus causes a
burning sensation in the lining of the esophagus.
Chronic acidity has to undergo a prescribed treatment but to prevent acidity
or to handle it when it suddenly occurs, here are some home remedies -

the excess acid and other impurities from the system. This also soothes off
the burning sensation if any.
