Heartburn

Symptoms of Heartburn

The symptoms of arteriosclerosis depend on which organs are affected by the illness. For example, if the brain is the affected organ and is receiving a reduced blood supply, the individual may suffer from stroke or paralysis of the body. Individuals who are aged may experience memory loss and may become confused by completing even simple tasks. When the blood vessels attached to the brain become blocked they hinder the blood flow, which in turn increases the risk of hemorrhage.

Arteriosclerosis begins by affecting the legs of the patient. Individuals feel pain, numbness and coldness in the feet because of the reduced supply of blood transported to the feet.

Preventing Heartburn Most cases of heartburn can be prevented by making minor lifestyle changes. Here are a few suggestions to reduce the frequency of heartburn and to prevent it from occurring:

Identify the foods that trigger heartburn and avoid consuming them. Common foods and beverages that cause trigger reflex are alcohol, chocolate, spicy foods, fatty foods, and citrus fruits and juices. Eat frequent small meals instead of one large meal. Also, do not lie down immediately after consuming meals. Do no exercise or bend over immediately after eating. Consume dried figs, fresh pineapple, and dried or fresh papaya because they are loaded with digestive enzymes and can prevent indigestion. Maintain a healthy weight by following healthy eating and exercising habits. Quit smoking. Learn to manage stress. Try stress-relieving strategies such as yoga and meditation.
