Live healthy and long

From Dr. Mercola archives

In this contrarian article, Dr. Mercola proposes that hyperacidity is actually caused by lack of acid rather than excess of it. Lack of acid causes incomplete digestion of food causing putrefaction of undigested food, inducing more stomach acid production etc.

Taking the usual antacid preparation may mean risk like:

l.  Infection with H. pylori,

2.  Acid reflux

3.  Bleeding ulcers

4.  Stomach producing more ulcer.

Some suggestions;

l.  Restore stomach balance through probiotics

2.  Modify your diet

3.  Eliminate food triggers

4.  Increase body's production of stomach acid.

5  Implement exercise routine.

6.  Increase level of Vit D intake.
