TOP TIPS FOR RELIEVING HEARTBURN AND INDIGESTION

Gaviscon Double Action gets to work fast when heartburn and indigestion strike – but maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help alleviate symptoms. Reducing these common contributors is always a good place to start:

Heavy meals

Keeping your meals light and your portions small will make them easier to digest, and can help reduce the likelihood of experiencing heartburn.

Fatty foods

Foods that are high in fat are harder to digest, and can make heartburn more likely to occur.

Stress and anxiety

Both of these contribute to heartburn and indigestion as they can impact your digestive system.

Smoking and drinking alcohol

Alcohol and nicotine both relax the lower oesophageal sphincter (the muscles that protect the oesophagus from stomach acid), increasing the chance of acid reflux.
