Spacing out your meals can help relieve acid reflux.
Did you know it takes 4 hours to digest one meal and one hour or two to give the system a rest. One of the hardest thing for the body to do is to break down food. When we eat in between meals by snacking we pile up food on top of food without giving the first meal proper time to be broken down and digested, acid reflux is the result.
Let’s think about a dryer for example, it takes about one full hour to dry one load of clothes. But if we stop every 10 to 15 minutes to add a piece of clothing, what would happen? The original load of clothes would take longer dry. The same thing happens when we snack in between meals not properly allowing the first meal to be completely broken down and digested before taking on another snack or meal. Space out meals 5 to 6 hours, with no snacking in between.
Also when we eat rapidly and don't take time to chew our food before we swallow, can result to problems. So chew throughly and don't snack in between meals and there will not be any need for acid reflux and the purple pill!
