🔥 Heartburn = too much stomach acid? 🤔
It’s actually the opposite! Your stomach is designed to be acidic—thanks to hydrochloric acid, your body’s natural protein-breaker.
If acid reflux happens, it’s not because of the acid but because the “gate” (cardiac sphincter) isn’t doing its job properly. So, what’s causing this gate to malfunction? Let’s dive into it! 🕵️♀️
🌛 Why Your Evening Meal Could Be Making Things Worse
Did you know digestion slows down at night? 🌙 Eating a heavy dinner late means the stomach struggles to digest it before bed. When you lie down, gravity pushes undigested food up, weakening the gate and letting acid creep in. It’s like trying to keep a door shut while pushing a heavy box against it—it’s bound to give way.
🍽 A Better Approach: Eat Like This!
- Breakfast: Fuel your day with a hearty breakfast while your digestion is at its peak.
- Lunch: Have a balanced, moderate meal to keep energy up.
- Dinner: Make your last meal light to help digestion wind down naturally.
🔍 Hydrochloric acid plays a crucial role in breaking down food. Lowering your stomach acid with antacids can worsen digestion, leaving food undigested and potentially triggering more reflux. Instead of reducing the acid, let’s focus on strengthening the gate.
🔧 Tips for Better Digestion:
- Avoid large meals late in the day.
- Elevate your head while sleeping to use gravity’s help.
- Incorporate bitters like apple cider vinegar or digestive enzymes to boost stomach acid before meals.
