achieving lasting relief from acidity requires more than just quick fixes –

it demands sustainable lifestyle changes. 

one crucial step is weight management, as excess weight puts pressure on the stomach, exacerbating acid reflux, so maintaining a healthy weight through regular exercise and portion control can significantly alleviate symptoms. 

a well-balanced diet is also vital, 

focusing on whole, alkaline-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins and avoiding any sort of food which you noticed has caused acidity earlier or  foods like citrus fruits, tomatoes, chocolate, spicy or fatty foods, and caffeine as it can irritate the stomach lining and trigger acidity.

additionally, adopting mindful eating habits like chewing slowly and properly to avoid any extra load on your tummy, having meals on time consistently can help in regulated acid production. also eating smaller and more frequent meals can reduce symptoms as when you stay hungry for a long time the continuous acid production may lead to hyperacidity. 

other beneficial changes include quitting smoking as it irritates the gastric lining of the stomach, limiting alcohol consumption as it is a trigger substance for its acidic nature

manage stress through relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation.

furthermore, incorporating ginger, fennel seed water, boiled jeera water especially after heavy meals and probiotics into your diet can help soothe the digestive system and promote a healthy gut microbiome.
