Antacids

Antacids are a major contributor of “Gastrointestinal Diseases.”

Heartburn, indigestion, and sour stomach are but a few terms used to describe gastrointestinal distress.

What are “Antacids?

Antacids are neutralizing agents. They neutralizes almost 99 percent of stomach acid.

What is “Heartburn”?

Acid reflux is a backflow of stomach contents upward into the esophagus. A burning pain behind the breastbone.

What is the primary cause?

Usually diet.

Foods fall into to primary categories: Alkaline and acid. When a diet is not balanced with alkaline and acid foods, indigestion begins.

Most people should proportion their diet to 75 percent alkalizing foods, and 25 percent from acidifying foods. See “ Acid-Alkaline foods” in Healing Foods category.

Heartburn is a red flag something is wrong in your digestive tract. If attention is given to the cause, you will find long-term relief.

Other causes are a weak digestive system, greasy food, poor diet, lack of water, exercise, low good intestinal bacteria count, and constipation.

Are they harmful?

Long-term use is yes.

It neutralizes the acids that digest the food and completely stops digestion and the food begins to putrefy.

The undigested food is then released into the intestines and begins to putrify. Without the aid of the stomachs acid, bacteria and other microbes are allowed to pass into the intestines and a host of other problems begin to arise.

Long term use is recipe for poor health.
