Include these in your diet

• Eat more fiber-rich foods, such as fibrous fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and whole pulses.
• Probiotics keep the digestive system healthy. Consume yogurt, buttermilk, and fermented foods.
• Put a piece of ginger in a water bottle at night. Drink this water in the morning. This will relieve stomach problems.
• Drink plenty of water and other liquids. If you have severe acidity, eat fewer citrus fruits.

Keep these things in mind

■ Avoid very spicy food. Do not eat citrus fruits, especially on an empty stomach. Do not consume large quantities of tea or coffee. Reduce your caffeine intake. Instead of drinking tea on an empty stomach, have it with two biscuits.
