How to reduce Acidity

Excess body acid or acidosis can be caused by what we eat and drink. If you have too much acid in your body, you can become ill or become susceptible to many conditions or diseases. In fact, there are more than 150 conditions that you may contract because of excess body acids. These may include kidney stones, heart disease, diabetes and arthritis. Additionally, you are susceptible to premature wrinkles, problems with your hormone levels and other possible age-related problems.

1.Maintain a healthy diet. A healthy diet should include limited sugars and carbohydrates. The normal diet of sugars, carbohydrates and meats can cause the body acidity. Your diet should include fruits and vegetables, which are full of nutrients.

2.Drink plenty of fluids. As with all healthy diets, you should always drink plenty of water.

3.Drink citrus juice. Although citrus juices have their own share of acid, the juices will aid in digestion and make you healthier and actually reduce some of the body acid.

4.Rest as needed. In fact, this can include sleeping more, performing deep breathing exercises, taking a yoga class or doing mediation. With rest, your body is able to regenerate, and it enhances digestion and the processing of acid.

5.Take antacids. An antacid can reduce stomach acids that may be causing problems, such as heartburn. There are over-the-counter medications for acid reduction. There are also specific pills such as Acid Redux, which is specifically made to reduce acid.

6.Take supplements. The use of some supplements can help reduce acid. For example, the use of 1,000 mg of vitamin C and calcium tablets can assist with acid.
