The buffet table is really a feast not only to the eye but also to your taste palate as well. And often times, we find ourselves overstuffing with almost every item we see since, well, it is a smorgasbord of food anyway.

Then, after stuffing yourself, you find yourself feeling that heart attack-like pain. You though you’re going to have a heart attack. And, every time that you hit the buffet same thing happens. You check with the doc. And what did he say? Heartburn. And chances are, your habit of overeating and feasting are coming back to haunt you. So you ask the doc, does eating give me the burn?

Good question. And your doctor will tell you, first, that the sensation has nothing to do with your heart. In fact, heartburn is a misnomer. It’s actually happens when your stomach acid seeps out of its rightful area and just burns your esophagus. But what causes heartburn? A lot of things. But given your eating habits, some foods that you love eating may be the culprit. A sudden wave of terror hits: You picture a celery and carrot diet. The good news? You have greater liberty and freedom than what you actually think. Here’s a list of food that you may want to get off your plate to prevent heartburn.

The Reality: You May Be Eating Too Much

Experts at WebMD.com said that preventing heartburn is not really about preventing a specific food group. It’s really about learning how you think about food and how much enough is really enough. By simply curbing what’s in your plate, you never have to miss a slice of your favorite rich, moist chocolate cake every week. And when it comes to your risk of feeling that heart attack-like pain, it’s really the volume of food that matters. If the lady at the counter asks if you want to go large, forget about it. Moderation is the key to keeping both your taste palate and esophagus happy. So whether it is your favorite burger or serving of fries, keeping things in moderation is they key to prevent heartburn.

Don’t Be On The Rush When Eating

You’re late. But you know that breakfast is the most essential meal of the day. So you pour yourself a bowl of cereal and clean it in less than five minutes. Rushing, and especially eating on the go, seemed like an essential part of this fast phase world. If you spend 6 days a week doing the same thing, chances are you are suffering from heartburn. In fact, taming heartburn requires you enjoying your food, not shoveling it down for the sake of filling your stomach. Three things I tell people to avoid: Grab, gulp, and go. If you want to tame your heartburn symptoms, you must start mind what you and how you eat, says Leslie Bonci of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Be In The Watch Of Fat

Everybody enjoys a fast food fare once in a while. I mean, they may not be the best burgers in town but they do have some great things going on in them. But unfortunately, high in fat foods are one of the major DON’Ts of taming and preventing heartburn. That’s because they stay in our digestive system longer. And, once they linger right there, the more symptoms and discomfort you are going to bear, says Bonci. And, worse, if you are getting the bucketful of chips, fries, chicken wings, then you’re more likely to get your esophagus in big trouble. Again, that’s like hitting two birds with one stone, only this time in calling for heartburn – going for the fatty menu and eating too much.
