Here's an easy way to prevent acid reflux- Pop a stick of gum into your mouth after a meal.
According to King's College London researchers, chewing gum can reduce heartburn- related symptoms by boosting production of Saliva, which is alkaline and helps neutralize stomach acid.
More saliva also means more swallowing which stimulates the muscle contractions that help digest food, researches say.
Stick to sugar less gum, they advise- and if you're not the gum chewing type, a sugar- free hard and or lozenge may have a similar effect.
