>> Quit smoking. Cigarettes contain nicotine, which adds to the production of acids in your stomach.
>> Avoid eating fried and excessive spicy food. They are tough to digest and so the stomach needs to produce extra acid to digest it. So, avoid them.
>> It helps to have an early dinner. This will help give your stomach time to let the acid subside before you lie down and go to bed.
>> You should also stop wearing tight clothes as these clothes can produce pressure on your midsection forcing stomach contents, including stomach acid, to go up.
