- Eat a banana or an apple as soon as you feel any heart burn. It is advisable to do so because Bananas and apples have natural antacids that help to fight acids.
- Pregnancy is another cause for heartburn even though not all women experience this. If you happen to experience heartburn during this period, it is more advisable to eat 6 times in small quantities rather than eating three times a day in very heavy quantities. Also, during pregnancy you need to exercise like walking around from time to time. Don’t stay on one place the whole day.
