Today’s research on digestive health is enlightening. Many of today’s drugs treat symptoms, but extended use can be detrimental. Don’t shorten your life expectancy by reaching for medications for long-term digestive problems. The underlying cause has to be treated.
These natural treatments may help you.
- For constant burping, take your time while eating. Be more mindful and chew your food.
- For acid reflux, drink alkaline water after meals. Add lemon to letter water to save even more money
- Look to natural digestive aids instead of popping an antacid.
- Probiotics are great for overall health but they don’t digest food for you. Enzymes break down food particles that your body can absorb, reducing gas, bloating, heartburn and chronic indigestion.
