Heartburn is something most adults will experience during their lifetime. It can be described as a burning sensation behind the breast bone and can often feel as if it is creeping up your throat. Heartburn is a symptom of Acid Reflux, which is caused by an incompletely closed lower esophageal sphincter, (LES.)
Here are a few ways you can reduce or prevent heart burn symptoms. 1. Keep a food diary: this should include what you ate that day as well as what activities you participated in and what you were wearing. By tracking your food intake, you will start to notice what foods are your heart burn triggers and this will make it easier for you to avoid them. 2. Slow down, eat smaller bites and portions: by eating slower, you will be less likely to overeat. eating smaller bites and portions will allow your digestive system to work more efficiently without producing more acid. 3. Wear looser fitting clothing: by wearing clothes that fit, you reduce the amount of pressure you are putting on your internal organs. By reducing the pressure on your organs, you also reduce the likelihood of acid reflux. 4. Cut back on alcohol and tobacco: alcohol and tobacco both work to weaken your LES making it that much easier for your stomach acid to aggravate your esophagus leading to more heart burn. 5. Maintain a healthy weight: carrying around extra weight causes increased pressure on your LES and your other internal organs. By increasing your activity level, making healthy eating choices and drinking more water, you can reduce your body weight. 6. Sit up: Don’t lie down within 3-4 hours after eating, because lying down with a full stomach makes stomach contents press harder against your lower esophageal sphincter. We have a variety of supplements that help with heartburn, next time you see Dr. Hill ask him about what can help with your heartburn!

Hello everyone, I am from Wembley, Britain. I want to write this testimony to tell others and thank Dr. Odunga for what he has done for me. The first 12 years of my marriage I had 5 miscarriages and I was called all sorts of names by my mother-in-law and this made my marriage life very hectic and a burden of sorrow. I contacted Dr. Odunga for help and I will say that he is a very strong and honest man and he indeed helped me solve my problem. I saw his email in a testimony and I contacted him, little did I know it would be the end of all my problems. After 2 days of contact, I received a fertility herb and he told me to use it. The herb worked and my husband even loved me more and bought me expensive things. One afternoon, I went to a nearby hospital and came back home with the positive result of my pregnancy and after 9 months I gave birth to a baby boy. Ever since I contacted Dr. Odunga, my story has been different. I have 3 children at present and I am very happy in my marriage. Please, contact him at [email protected] OR Whats App him +2348167159012 to help you too
