4. Apples
Eat an apple a day to keep the doctor away. This saying could easily be switched to eat an apple a day to keep the heartburn away. Apples are a nutritious treat that is full of vitamins, minerals, and other important nutrients that the body needs. This great fruit has the added benefit of being able to help alleviate some of the symptoms of heartburn.
Simply eating just a slice of an apple can help to calm down the production of acid in the stomach. This will help reduce the burning sensation that you feel when you have heartburn. Eating an apple can help neutralize the acid in your stomach in as little as five minutes. The best type of apple to eat if you have heartburn is a Gala apple or a Braeburn apple as they have the most neutralizing effects when they hit the stomach.
