HEARTBURN: What You Don't Know



 

     Heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest, behind the breastbone. Heartburn pain is often worse when one is lying down or bending over. It is also known as acid indigestion. The pain also often at times may rise in the chest and radiate to the neck region, throat or angle of the jaw. Heartburn is commonly used interchangeably with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) rather than just to describe a burning in one's chest.

CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS:

     Acid indigestion occurs when stomach acid backs up into the oesophagus. Normally, it can be observed that when food is ingested, the lower oesophageal sphincter (a circular band of muscle around the bottom part of the oesophagus) relaxes in order to allow food to flow into the stomach after which it closes again. However, if the lower oesophageal sphincter relaxes abnormally or weakens, stomach acid can flow back up into the oesophagus, causing heartburn.

     Heartburn can happen to any individual irrespective of age or sex. Mostly, it occurs in adults more than young children. This is because adults mainly ingest solid and spicy food which may not really digest well enough due to the ageing of their systems. Young ones on the other hand have systems which can still digest their food intake with ease.

     The major symptom of Heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest which occurs after a meal and may occur at night. This pain may be worse while lying down or bending over.  



 

 

 

REMEDIES:

     Actually, you can make some changes in order to have a heartburn relief. Some of the changes are;

1. MAINTAINING A HEALTHY WEIGHT: Excess pounds put pressure on the abdomen. This pushes up the stomach causing acid to move up back to the oesophagus.

2. AVOIDING TIGHT-FITTING CLOTHING: Clothes that fit tightly around the waist applies pressure on the abdomen and lowers the oesophageal sphincter which then causes stomach acid to flow back into the oesophagus.

3. AVOIDING FOODS THAT TRIGGER HEARTBURN: Some foods that trigger heartburn include; fatty foods, fried foods, tomato sauce, alcohol, pepper, chocolate, garlic mint, onion and caffeine. Everyone is unique to his/her specific triggers.

4. EATING SMALLERR QUANTITY OF MEALS: Overeating should be avoided in order to avoid heartburn.

5. LYING DOWN IMMEDIATELY AFTER A MEAL SHOULD BE AVOIDED.

6. ABSTINENCE FROM SMOKING: So many people will wonder how smoking is related to acid indigestion. Smoking actually decreases the oesophageal sphincter's ability to function properly.

 

     Conclusively, Heartburn is common and should not be a cause of alarm when it occurs. Most people can manage the discomfort coupled with some medications. But frequent occurrence could be a symptom of a disease and therefore requires a doctor's attention.

Power Of Relationship: Relationship with God

Firstly, let me start by talking about our relationship with God. God is the basis of our lives and he is in control over everything. When we establish a connection with him, he is sure to lead us to the place we desire.

Unlike our earthly friends, God will never forget about us. He sticks around both at the good and bad moments in life. His words remain true. He is that type of friend that we all need.
To establish a relationship with God is not a great task, just a little faith in him, trusting him, spending some time on his word, praying and doing good to people already gives us a connection with God.
Someone may doubt about the existence of God and how important he is in relationships. Yes we don't know the quality of a food unless we taste it and we will never know the value unless we ingest it into our body. Giving a God a trial and ask him to check charge or our daily lives, then we can see his existence and how important he is to us.
God is true and just, a trial won't fail us. We all should give him a trial cos he is at the head of every relationship

Power of Relationships: Preamble

Most at times, people always ignore relationship with others. This might be as a result of disappointments, breach of trust or unfulfillment of promises. Also other people do these due to the belief that they on their own can handle whatever situation that comes on there way.
One unfortunate thing that happens is that man didn't come into existence in order to be alone. Man was created in such a way that he needs his fellow man in order to achieve whatever aim he has in life.
I am going to be writing on the power of relationships for some days now. I will properly start tomorrow evening. So always check back every evening in order not to miss out on what I have for you guys out there...

UNIQUENESS

One day, as I was in my room, lying on my bed, I started to think of what people really think of me. I asked myself this questions.
Why don't you cheat in the examination hall?
Why don't you flirt around with other girls like your fellow mates?
Why are you not into codeine, cigarette, alcohol and other drugs?
What's that thing in you that makes people see you as a different person?
What's that character in you that makes people often refer you as a "priest".
As I was pondering over this, I remembered that it was an aspect of uniqueness in me that differentiated me from others. Even the Bible made it clear that I am the light and salt of the world and that makes me different from the world.
As I recalled that, I chose to apply extreme care on my way of life cos many folks do look up to me and wanna live the kind of life that am living.
These were the things a young man thought about and that made him to be careful over how he acts.
How of us can think this way and equate our life, striking a balance between the world and The Word. Tis good to always think about the life we all live knowing that people are tryna emulate us. Don't change your lifestyle because of mere peer pressure, rather be focused maintaining that integrity in you, cos that makes you unique...
Good evening Nigeria, Africa.
