Acid Indigestion Reduction “To-Do” List
What’s on your “To-Do” list for reducing your acid indigestion? Have you narrowed it down to a plan for reducing day time acid indigestion and night time acid indigestion? How serious are you in following through on your plan of:
- Eat smaller, more frequent meals.
- Limit your intake of acid-stimulating foods and beverages.
- Don’t lie down for about two hours after you eat.
- Elevate your head a few inches while you sleep.
- Maintain a reasonable weight.
- Don’t smoke.
- Don’t drink alcohol.
- Relax.
- Don’t wear belts or clothes that are tight fitting around the waist.
- Keep a heartburn record.
Let’s look at the list in another way. Which of these would be the most beneficial to our health? Since most of the damage of GERD or acid indigestion happens at night while we are sleeping, lifestyle improvements that reduce or mitigate our exposure to gastric acids at night should be high on our “To-Do” list.
Elevating the head of your bed has been clinically proven to reduce or mitigate night time acid indigestion. Using blocks under your headboard to achieve this elevation is guaranteed to create a sag in your mattress and will void your 20-year non-prorated mattress warranty.
There are four sleep factors to consider when purchasing a product to elevate the head of your bed:
1) Will you be able to sleep in the same positions that you currently do? (Do you sleep on your side, back or stomach and will this product allow you sleep the same way?)
2) Will you be able to sleep on the mattress that you purchased for the level of comfort required to achieve a good night’s sleep?
3) Will you be forced to sleep in a position that could actually increase your night time acid indigestion? (If you choose a product that causes you to fold at the waist when you sleep, this may increase the pressure on your abdomen causing a worse reflux rather than reducing it)
4) Will this product last? (Most wedge pillow manufacturers carry a warranty of less than 1 year!)
