How To Get Rid Of Indigestion

Health And Fitness : Top Health Tips

If you suffer from indigestion regularly, the following tips should help minimise the problems that you have



(1) Eat meals at regular times so that your stomach becomes used to these patterns. Also take your time, if you rush it is more likely to lead to indigestion. If you notice any foods that makes the problem worse, avoid them. Smoking often triggers indigestion so if you smoke, try and cut down or even stop - which will of course have numerous other health benefits.



(2) Don't take aspirin for headaches, colds or coughs. This is a trigger for indigestion since it stimulates acid production in the stomach. Instead use paracetemol which does not have this affect. Also try and avoid fatty foods which are harder to digest, and additionally caffeine.



(3) Don't take anti-arthritic painkillers if possible - these can trigger indigestion also. Of course, discuss your medication with a GP before making any such decisions.



In general, if you have an upset stomach often, you should bear the above advice in mind. Pepto-bismol is an effective product in most circumstances to passify symptoms.
