Lifestyle Changes
In mild cases, some lifestyle changes can help improve symptoms of indigestion:
– Work out frequently to promote better digestion and reduce extra weight on the stomach.
– Maintain a healthy weight to reduce pressure on the abdomen, which can push up the stomach and trigger acid to back up into the esophagus.
– Avoid triggers, such as alcohol, caffeine, carbonated drinks, processed foods, as well as spicy and fatty foods.
– Have more frequent and smaller meals. Make sure to chew thoroughly and slowly.
– Apply relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing.
– Sleep enough to reduce stress, a possible trigger of indigestion. [9]
