So step number one, let's talk about what causes and triggers acid reflux. Typically it's an enzyme deficiency, if you're not getting enough enzymes in your diet, that's a one big issue along with if your stomach... if the acid is imbalanced in your stomach. Typically it's caused from low stomach acid, so your stomach is not producing enough acid and not enough enzymes being produced in your body. So again, lack of acid, lack of enzymes, that's what's causing your acid reflux. So in order to address that, we need to do a few things.
Number one we got to change your diet and there are a few things that trigger acid reflux. Consuming citrus fruits, tomatoes, chocolate and carbonated beverages like soda, those can trigger acid reflux along with consuming too many grain products and hydrogenated oils. Those are the first foods you want to actually remove from your diet. Then what you want to do is start replacing those with foods that are high in enzymes and foods that are easy to digest. Doing vegetables, doing most forms of fruits, doing organic meats, doing bone broth. Consuming foods that are easy to digest, that's where you want to start in terms of diet is getting those into your diet. So again, organic meat products, fruits and vegetables are a great place to start when you're replacing those foods in your diet.
The next step to overcome acid reflux is you have to start using certain supplements. And the best supplements that can help you are taking a digestive enzyme supplement, two caps with meals of digestive enzymes along with taking something called HCL with pepsin. That's hydrochloric acid with pepsin and what you'll do with hydrochloric acid is you'll take one capsule and you'll only take this when you consume meat or a form of protein and see if you get a warm feeling in your stomach. And then eventually you'll go to two caps into three, but hydrochloric acid is the acid your stomach produces that helps to break down food, so actually getting more of that acid will help you with digestion. But really digestive enzymes are the first place to start.
If the enzymes help all the way, you don't need to do hydrochloric acid but if that still isn't enough then you can add in those in as well. The third step is lifestyle; you really need to eat less at your meals. So oftentimes, acid reflux is caused from stuffing yourself, eating too much, eating too fast. So eating too much, eating too fast is a major cause of acid reflux. And step number four to naturally cure acid reflux, is to start using apple cider vinegar. This is the number one natural cure or home remedy is apple cider vinegar and what you'll do is take one number tablespoon in a small amount of water and drink that before your meal. About ten minutes before your meal and apple cider vinegar contains probiotics enzymes and certain acids like acidic acid which actually helps you digest your food.
So this apple cider vinegar is the number one natural remedy for acid reflux that you'll want to start using. And you want to make sure that when you're buying apple cider vinegar that it has some of the cloudiness you can see there on the bottom. It's called the mother in it, you can see there it says organic, raw and filtered with the mother. This is what you'll want to start getting and of all the things, this is the most beneficial thing you can do to naturally overcome and heal acid reflux is start doing one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar before your meals. With that and enzymes will make a big difference in turns of natural treatments. So remember this if you're looking at overcoming acid reflux.
Number one, get some of those triggers out like doing too much citrus, tomato sauce, hydrogenated oils, sugar, grain products. Get those out and start consuming more fruits, more vegetables and organic meat products. Step number two; hey get some of those good supplements like digestive enzymes as well as hydrochloric acid.
