Heartburn Foods: Tips To Avoid Heartburn On Game Day...

Tailgates bring picnic tables' worth of tempting snacks. Though different foods aggravate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in different people, there are some universal trigger foods you want to limit -- citrus fruits, fried foods, liquor, and fatty meats. Always opt for the high-fiber, low-fat options, but if you're really craving football fare, try these swaps to keep GERD at bay.

If You Want Chips And Salsa Opt for pretzels or baked chips and bean dip. High-fat foods (like potato chips) slow down digestion, allowing food to sit in the stomach longer and making it easier for acid to move into your esophagus. Instead, choose low-fat pretzels with less acidic bean dip -- just be sure to go easy on the garlic, onions, and oil.

If You Want A Cheeseburger... Choose extra-lean ground beef or a turkey burger. The leaner the beef, the better chance you have of avoiding heartburn. Turkey can be a good beef alternative, but make sure it is also on the lean side. Full-fat cheese is a trigger, but if you can't leave it off, opt for feta or goat cheese, which are less likely to aggravate GERD.

If you want chicken wings...

Try a grilled chicken breast (skinless, if it's available). Those little fried bites may seem harmless, but they can pack as many as 10 grams of fat per wing! If grilled chicken bores your taste buds, try using yogurt-based marinades that add flavor without the fat.

If you want potato salad...

Choose beans instead. Though baked bean recipes often contain ketchup and onions, they're also lower in fat than most potato salads. Have a small portion, or take it one step further and opt for a bean salad. If you can't stand beans, have a light pasta salad that's also GERD-friendly.

If you want a brownie...

Try a cookie instead. Chocolate relaxes the sphincter, allowing stomach acids to creep up into the esophagus. Though sugar and butter can also trigger heartburn, having one low-fat cookie (we love these Snickerdoodles) can satisfy a sweet tooth without triggering GERD.

The Natural way to control Heartburn, Acid indigestion: Alkalete: Heartburn, Acid indegestion, acid reflux GERD...Chronic low-grade metabolic acidosis is a growing health concern. Leading medical researchers are concluding that a decline in health begins when cellular pH moves toward becoming acidic, toxic, and polluted - a process called metabolic acidosis.Our body’s ability to process acid steadily decreases as we age; that’s part of the reason that our bodies have to work harder just to keep our normal functions working properly and maintain blood pH within “normal” ranges of 7.35 to 7.45 pH. This rise in excess acidity in the body is why Yoli is introducing Alkalete™. We feel everyone has the right to enjoy optimal living through optimal body pH.Alkalete™ is a very simple mineral product that is very complicated to make. In fact, the manufacturing process used to make it has eight patents.Alkalete™ is made up of three essential minerals: calcium, potassium, and magnesium, which are combined through Yoli's proprietary process to produce the most powerful body alkalizer on the market.Alkalete™ is a very strong, yet very safe, alkalizing agent. In fact,Alkalete™ consists entirely of ingredients designated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe).Alkalete™ received FDA recognition as a New Dietary Ingredient (NDI), a designation of product safety and uniformity. A proprietary manufacturing process uses the patented Exact Blending and Compounding (“EBC”) equipment to produce the Alkalete™ granule.The Alkalete granules have three properties:1. Achieves a systemic alkaline balance in the body to improve healthy aging and athletic performance.2. Reduces the acidity of foods and beverages without damaging flavor.3. Increases absorbency of key nutrients.Feel free to visit our website http://www.Lifes-a-Blast.GoYoli.com/ or contact us by e-mail for further information on Alkalete. Lifes-a-Blast.@Q.com
