Acidity - page 2
Acidity, also called acid reflux, is a condition that is characterised by heartburn that is felt around the lower chest area. It is a very common condition that occurs when stomach acid flows back up into the food pipe. The most common acid reflux symptom is a burning sensation in the chest, and pain it causes. While most people suffer in pain, they do not realise that poor lifestyle choices are the main reason behind acidity. Chronic acidity may lead to serious risks that include:
- Oesophagus damage: Oesophagus is the tube that connects the mouth to stomach. When acid moves back up and enters the oesophagus, it sets the stage for esophageal ulcers, oesophagitis, esophageal strictures, and Barrett’s Oesophagus.
- Increased risk of oesophagus cancer, which is more likely if you have a history of the condition in the family.
- Acid reflux can wear down the enamel of your teeth and lead to cavities.
Different causes of acidity are as following;
- Skipping meals or eating at irregular times
- Eating just before sleeping
- Overeating
- Consumption of spicy food
- High intake of table salt
- Excessive consumption of certain food
- Drinks such as tea, coffee, carbonated drinks, soft drinks
- Extremely spicy food
- Fat rich food such as pizza, doughnuts, and fried food
- Consumption of non-vegetarian food
- Excessive stress
- Lack of sleep
- Frequent smoking
- Lack of physical exercise
