Curb the Carbs
Dumping pasta and bread from your diet could help relieve indigestion, according to a new study from the University of North Carolina. Scientists report that within four days of initiating a low-carb diet, patients experienced a 44% reduction in the severity of heartburn. What’s more, the painful acid in each subject’s esophagus decreased by 60%.
In a previous study, patients’ symptoms returned once they started eating a carbohydrate-heavy diet again. Love your stodge? Then counter indigestion by adding ginger to your meals. It contains ginerols, which have been found to neutralize throat and stomach acid.
