Most of the causes of heartburn
are related to things that youconsume. By knowing the factors that
stimulate or trigger this
problem is a good idea. That way you can try to eliminate them or
make some simple changes in your lifestyle.
There are several foods and beverages that
relax the ligament in your
esophagus. Any beverage that contains caffeine can do this. That
includes coffees, teas, energy drinks, and soft drinks.
Chocolate is
also a culprit because it contains theobromine which has the same
relaxing effect. Other foods like tomatoes and tomato-based products,
citrus fruits and juices, and even alcohol relax the esophageal
sphincter.
Another cause of heartburn can be from
increased pressure in the
stomach. Some of the reasons are external, but there are some
internal ones as well. When fried or fatty food is consumed it slows
down digestion, which basically forces the food to stay in stomach
longer than normal.
This hard-to-break-down food can cause extra
pressure which ultimately put more pressure on the esophageal
ligament. You may want to decrease the amount of burgers and fries
you eat to prevent this one!
Pregnancy can be another cause of heartburn
due to the pressure of a
growing baby on your abdominal area. By eliminating some of these
other causes will help reduce heartburn symptoms.
Other ways that
added abdominal pressure can be lessened is by wearing looser clothing
around your midsection. That means you may need to buy that larger
size in jeans, even though you've been fighting of this possibility
for months.
Another cause of heartburn is eating too
large of meals. Having a
really full stomach can also add additional pressure in your abdomen.
Try more meals a day, but smaller ones.
Trying to go to bed on a full
stomach can do the same thing. You may want to adjust your dinner
time and eat two to three hours before you lie down.
One cause of heartburn that may catch you off
guard is tobacco.
Cigarettes and other tobacco products contain a chemical that weakens
the esophageal ligament as it passes from the lungs into the
bloodstream.
