Hyperacidity is a digestive system condition that causes symptoms such as heartburn, flatulence, nausea, constipation and acid reflux in the stomach. Excess acidity can also cause a burning sensation behind the breastbone.

The causes of hyperacidity

The primary cause of hyperacidity, or hyperacidity, is the excess production of digestive juice. There are many reasons for this overproduction of stomach acid. This may be, for example, an inadequate diet in which the predominance of foods rich in carbohydrates combined with protein and fat. Excessive acidity is also caused by the consumption of alcoholic beverages.

The causes of excessive acidity also include improperly combining food products in one meal. For example, you should not combine citrus fruit with breakfast cereals because such a meal acidifies the body.

Excessive acidity is often a result of stress – eating in a stressful situation can cause excessive secretion of digestive acids and an unpleasant feeling of heartburn.

In some cases, hyperacidity is caused by a nervous reflex – digestive enzymes are released under the influence of signals sent from the nerve centers.

Chewing gum and taking certain medications, such as aspirin, are also conducive to acidity.

To restore the acid-base balance in the body, order Langsteiner Alkaline Powder, which also relieves heartburn symptoms.

How to treat hyperacidity?

The easiest way to neutralize and reduce the amount of digestive acids is to change your diet. The menu should be composed in such a way that it consists mostly of alkaline products. A good way to deal with acidity is therefore to eat vegetables, pickles, fruits like lemons (they are alkaline despite the sour taste) and include vegetable fats in the form of oils in your diet. Eggs, meat and fish can be eaten, but should be limited.

However, it is worth giving up eating flour products, containing a large amount of carbohydrates, as well as sweets, stimulants such as alcohol, coffee and tea, and eliminating cocoa from your diet. In addition, you should follow the rule of not combining starch and protein products in one meal. It is worth supporting a balanced diet with appropriate supplementation. At Medonet Market, you can now buy turmeric extract, which has anti-inflammatory properties and supports the digestive system. Chamomile flower also prevents gastric hyperacidity, so it is worth drinking it prophylactically. A chamomile basket is also available in the RefluxoHerbs Stomach – a herbal blend available at an attractive price on the Medonet Market.

Food should be boiled, not fried.

For problems with excess acidity, we recommend Fenugreek Seeds + for a healthy stomach – a dietary supplement in the form of capsules.

Adequate hydration of the body is very helpful in the case of hyperacidity – you should drink 6-8 glasses of clean, still water a day.

However, it is not a good idea to use dietary supplements that change the reaction of gastric contents to alkaline (alkaline), because such preparations only mask the problem, not fight its cause.

Avoiding smoking and eating fast fords and highly processed foods, such as crisps and other salty snacks, will also reduce excess acidity.

People prone to acidity should eat a few small meals and avoid hearty meals, especially fried.
