Heartburn and Digestive Enzymes

Did you know that some heartburn medications may actually make your heartburn worse? 

The acid in our stomach is there to help break down our food. If we constantly use acid blockers to get rid of the acid, we may be impairing our digestion. If you suffer with indigestion, upset stomach, heartburn, bloating, and belching, you may be able to help alleviate that with simple, natural digestive enzymes.

Our bodies need specific enzymes to break down each kind of food we eat. As we begin to age and as we consume more soda, drugs, caffeine, and alcohol, our digestion can become impaired. Also, if you have had your gallbladder removed, or have pancreatic disease, cystic fibrosis, Crohn's disease, or celiac disease, you could be enzyme-deficient.

And since we've become used to cooking our food instead of eating mostly raw foods, the natural enzymes normally there are almost always cooked out. But the great news is that enzymes are inexpensive and work very well.

The studies have been very positive when people begin using digestive enzymes to help their indigestion, heartburn, and bloating.
