Cure Heartburn Natural - Eat Small Meal To Cure Heartburn and Acid Reflux
There’s two ways to look at this food step. You can either look at it as eating smaller, more frequent meals, or you can look at it as more frequent meals. Americans tend to do the opposite of this food step. We may skin a meal or two but when we eat, we tend to eat big. This is a tough habit to break. The key to eating small frequent meals for me id keeping this basic relief in check:
Eat when you are hungry and stop when you are comfortable.
In my experience, when we do this, we automatically end up eating smaller sized meals which means we get hungry sooner and we end up eating more often.
Eating more often, but smaller amount at time, is a good idea for everyone, for a variety of sound health reasons, but it can be particularly helpful for people with acid reflux. Here’s why:
Smaller, lower fat meals don’t stay in the stomach as long as larger, higher fat meals. They move more quickly to the intestine. And the shorter the time food is waiting around in the stomach the shorter the time the stomach contents (including the stomach acid) are potentially splashing around, irritating the upper GI.
Large meals fill up the stomach and are more likely to put pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter to open, allowing the contents of the full stomach to splash up into the esophagus. Picture an empty 2 liter soda bottle with 2 cups of liquid in it, screw on the top, and agitate the liquid. It is fairly difficult to get the liquid to splash around and hit the bottle cap isn’t it? Now, fill that same 2 liter soda bottle with 6 cups of liquid. Suddenly hitting that bottle cap with some of the liquid is a lot easier now that the bottle is almost full. Your stomach acts much the same way.
