Trying something new today...

Apr 21, 2009

So I haven't been sleeping very good lately and I always seem to have WAY bad acid reflux at most times of the day. I did some research last night about acidity vs alkalinity. I decided to try to do some of the things it said today such as reducing my risk of acidic foods.

Also I read that to help reduce acid reflux try to walk after each meal to help the food go down. So today after I eat something, i will walk at least 10 minutes to help the food go down. The article i read also said to sleep on you left side rather than your right side, something about your stomach. I tried it last night sleeping on my left side and I slept all night so that must be working.

So for today this is my plan:
-  eat foods that are high alkaline to very low acidic
-  drink my water
-  walk at least 10 minutes after each meal
- stop eating at least 2 hours before bed (I usually do this one anyways)
