One of the most common ailments of present times that almost everyone struggles with at least once in their daily life is acidity. Simply put, it is a condition that results in the stomach producing too much acid. This not only causes stomach upset but also other symptoms like indigestion, sour taste in the mouth and difficulty in swallowing. Dr. Kishan, Senior Gastroenterologist at Kamineni Hospital, Hyderabad, says that acidity is a medical condition caused by excessive acid production. This acid is made by glands present in the stomach. Symptoms of acidity include stomach ulcers, gastric bloating and indigestion.
How does acidity happen
After we eat food, when the food reaches our stomach, the gastric glands of the stomach produce acid, which is needed to break down the food and kill any microorganisms. When the gastric glands produce more acid than is required for digestion, the condition is known as acidity. A burning sensation just above the abdomen or just below the breastbone defines the condition. Consumption of fatty foods and spicy food in excess by Indians causes acidity.
Due to this the problem of acidity occurs.

ways to prevent acidity
Take a low carbohydrate diet
According to a study, a low-carb diet can reduce the symptoms of acidity, especially in obese people. That's because eating too many carbohydrates can make you feel bloated and gassy, which can lead to heartburn.
2- Eat regularly
One of the easy ways to reduce the risk of acid reflux is by frequent meals. That's because overeating puts extra pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), a valve-like muscle that keeps stomach acid contents from entering the stomach.
3-Chew your food properly
Eating slowly and chewing your food thoroughly gives digestive juices enough time to break down and digest the food.
4-Avoid eating food late at night
One of the major reasons for digestive problems is poor diet. Eating late at night due to pressure at work or having too many snacks in the evening can lead to heartburn. So avoid eating late at night or just before sleeping.
In 2016, Indiana put Donald Trump on the doorstep of the GOP presidential nomination. But eight years later, the state he called “Importantville” delivered his campaign some flashing red warning signs as Nikki Haley cleaned up in the suburbs. By virtue of its late-in-the-nominating-calendar primary, the Hoosier state has always occupied a unique and occasionally powerful perch to make or break candidacies: Sen. Ted Cruz and then-Ohio Gov. John Kasich dropped out immediately after Trump’s victory that year. But the barn-red state also often acts as a pace car for Republicans nationally. And in a primary that saw a record-breaking $98 million splash across the state, according to AdImpact, Tuesday was no exception. A zombie Haley candidacy continued to punch above its weight in the Trumpiest of states: The former South Carolina governor is on track to break 20 percent for the first time since she dropped out of the race two months ago. Outside of the presidential race, it was the p...
