A gift of modern fast-paced life, hurried meals and loads of stress leads to acidity. Acidity, a common ailment that we all suffer from time to time -- that awful burning sensation in the heart or chest. Acidity is caused by excessive secretion of the normal acids in the stomach. But when the secretion is excessive, it causes a burning sensation just below or behind the chest and the stomach. Wrong eating habits, unhealthy eating pattern, excessive spices, stress etc. are the causes of acidity. Besides this, wrong food choice can be a cause too. For example, there are certain foods that produce acids and some that produce alkali in our body. Eating acidic foods such as pickles, oily foods, chocolates etc. in excessive amounts can aggravate the disorder; hence opting for alkaline foods like bajra, jowar, ladies fingers, bananas etc. is the right way to beat acidity naturally. Instead of popping antacids every now and then, turn to mother nature for natural remedies and cure.
