However, apart from being very uncomfortable, if left untreated it can lead ulcers and even esophagus cancer.
This leads to tremendous discomfort due to irritation and intense burning of the esophageal lining.
Most people opt to use antacids to counter acidity attacks but these provide temporary alleviation and the best way is to make changes that can provide lasting relief.
Another issue is that it may not be excess stomach acid which is responsible for this condition because as we age there is a reduction in the production of stomach acid and antacids actually make things worse.
Studies have shown that certain life style changes which involve additions and elimination of certain foods, avoiding activities like laying down after meals and adding a regular exercise regimen can help with keeping your acid reflux health condition in control.
It is also suggested to reduce your intake of alcohol and to also quite smoking because these are some additional triggers for heartburn.
There are certain home remedies that can help and on of them is apple cider vinegar.
Followers of this remedy swear by its effect, and say it works extremely well for acid reflux too.
Of course if you do suffer from frequent acid reflux attacks, it is always better to consult your physician before you decide to try this remedy.
Some people add honey to dilute the taste, whereas there are others who can tolerate the taste by adding the ACV to fruit juice.
You may want to increase (or reduce) the number of times you have this mixture daily, depending on how your body handles it.
The apple cider vinegar should preferably be raw and unfiltered (containing the mother) so that it delivers maximum benefits.
