What is the Best Way to Prevent and Control Acid Reflux Naturally?

 

Discover How, Five Minutes from NOW, Your Acid Reflux Can Be Totally Gone & You’ll Feel Great Night and Day

Prevent and Control Acid Reflux Naturally – When Acid Reflux Is Not Acid (Are You Secretly Suffering This?)

Gastroesophageal reflux diseases usually become problematic because of the stomach acid that flows out of your stomach into your esophagus, throat, and mouth, damaging the tissue located there.

Millions of people suffer this disease and the traditional medical system has no solution other than very dangerous medications.

But a new study in the journal Laryngology has just discovered that your acid-reflux may actually not be all that it seems.

In fact, it may be non-acid reflux, which is a whole new ballgame.

Scientists from the Sixth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital in Beijing wondered whether non-acid reflux was actually more common than acid reflux, especially considering how many people still experience symptoms after being placed on acid suppression medication.

After all, if acid suppression drugs remove only the acid but not the reflux, then it treats only the most harmful symptom and leaves the cause untreated.

Between January 2014 and April 2019, they recruited 344 patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux diseases. They were also given 24-hour intraluminal impedance tests, which included a detection of the number of times stomach contents came back up, the pH of the regurgitated contents, and symptoms such as swallowing, coughing, throat clearing, belching, burning, and so forth.

They then counted their subject’s weekly number of acidic and alkaline reflux events to see which occurred more often.

They found that non-acid reflux events accounted for 74.1 percent of all reflux events, and that the participants displayed and reported the same symptoms, whether or not the reflux was acidic.

This means that non-acid reflux is actually a bigger problem than acid reflux in these diseases.

While it may be true that regurgitated acidic contents can cause greater harm to the lining of the esophagus and throat, non-acidic contents still contain bile and enzymes that can irritate these tissues.

Pepsin, a substance that breaks down proteins in the stomach, is the most common ingredient in non-acid reflux. It is biologically inactive when it is in an alkaline environment, but it is still not normal to find it in the esophagus and throat.

Non-acid reflux often happens in the same way acid reflux does: the valve between your esophagus and stomach does not close properly and lets stomach contents through.

But there is another way in which it can happen. If the valve between your small intestine and stomach lets your small intestine’s contents into your stomach, and the valve between your stomach and esophagus let’s stomach contents through into your esophagus, then you can have a reflux of bile into your throat.

Bile is produced in your small intestine to break down the fat you eat. It is alkaline, and it can burn your throat if it ends up there.

I have helped thousands of people to successfully eliminate their acid reflux. Interestingly, the exact same method (explained here) works for nonacid reflux…

Prevent and Control Acid Reflux Naturally – Is Acid Reflux a By-product of Stress?

Acid reflux, or Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD), is a condition in which the gastric acids released by our body are regurgitated upward, toward the esophagus. Most common symptoms of acid reflux are: heartburn and chest pain.

If you frequently experience the symptoms of acid reflux, it is important that you take adequate steps to control this condition. Acid reflux is not a health condition you would want to ignore, because if left unaddressed, it can lead to complete erosion of esophagus, or the wind pipe, as it is commonly called.

For long, the causes of this condition have been debated and researched. Most researches do agree that depression is a big contributor to acid reflux. Researchers have also been trying for long to find a connection between anxiety and GERD, or acid reflux, as it is most commonly known.

Finally, a breakthrough has come from the University of Alabama that has revealed a direct correlation between anxiety and acid reflux; this means more the stress levels, greater the chances of developing acid reflux. This also means, if you regularly experience acid reflux, the symptoms will be more pronounced when you under stress.

The findings were based on the tests conducted by the University of Alabama in which a test group was asked to play a complex computer game in which they were required to solve difficult mathematical problems. As the stress or anxiety levels in individuals grew, so did the symptoms of acid reflux.

How does this finding help in controlling acid reflux? Well… these findings give us a valuable insight on the nature of acid reflux, and equipped with this knowledge we stand a better chance of controlling this health hazard.

To begin with, identify the moments of your daily life that are stressful. You also need to introspect if these moments are avoidable. For instance, if you take a certain shorter route to office which is often packed with traffic; perhaps you can explore other options to see if alternatives are available.

The reality of modern life is that certain amount of stress is unavoidable. However, with awareness, you can incorporate positive behavioral, and lifestyle changes to manage stress better.

Eat light food before your daily ‘stressful’ moments. In fact, a balanced diet and regular exercise can help you immensely in handling stress. If you lead a particularly hectic life, then Yoga or other relaxation techniques may help you bring the stress levels down.

Acid reflux can very often be controlled through natural means. To learn more on how to help prevent and control acid reflux naturally, read our Blue Heron Health Guide to Acid Reflux.

Prevent and Control Acid Reflux Naturally – Treat Acid Reflux Before Condition Becomes Chronic

Why do we tend to be careless with certain health conditions?

The answer probably lies in the lack of awareness about certain health problems, rather than lack of concerns for one’s own health.

One health condition that most people face, but remain casual about, is acid reflux.

While most individuals know about acid reflux and can recognize its symptoms, they often fail to understand that when it comes to acid reflux, seeking only immediate relief is not productive in the long run.

If left untreated, acid reflux can inflict irreparable harm to your esophagus, digestive system, and throat.

To treat any health condition, you need to be aware of its symptoms so that you are able to identify the condition as soon as its symptoms begin to show.

Symptoms of acid reflux

The following are the common symptoms of acid reflux:

• Pain or burning sensation in chest
• Regurgitation of gastric acid
• Problem in swallowing food
• Vomiting

The following are the severe symptoms of acid reflux:

• Chronic pain
• Sore throat and relentless coughing
• Respiratory problems

Why it is necessary to treat acid reflux

This health condition occurs when the valve in your esophagus stays open, as a result of which gastric acid regurgitates. If not treated properly, the symptoms become more severe over time. What starts as a burning sensation or pain in the chest could develop into chronic acid reflux, causing irreparable damage to your digestive system.

Chronic acid reflux is a condition that is also referred as “erosive esophagitis”.  The condition occurs due to the erosion of the tissues that line the esophagus. This not only leads to severe pain- in fact, some patients equate the pain of heartburn with that of a heart attack- but may also lead to the complete erosion of the esophagus. Some patients with chronic acid reflux require surgery to repair any bodily damage.

Help prevent and control acid reflux naturally

Acid reflux can often be easily controlled and prevented by using natural remedies.

Some of the common tips that assist you in controlling and preventing acid reflux are:

• Consume substantial amounts of water each day
• Avoid eating before bedtime
• Eat healthy and natural foods
• Avoid and control stress
• Exercise regularly

Here are 50 Interesting Conversation Topics to Talk About with Anyone

 

CLICK HERE to Find Out How to Overcome Your Social Phobia

Do you want to talk to a girl or guy, but you’re afraid of the conversation drying up?

Maybe right now you’re thinking of speaking to someone you’re attracted to. Maybe you even have a date planned. But you just want to make sure you don’t run out of good things to talk about.

That would be embarrassingly awkward, wouldn’t it?

Imagine both of you sitting near each other. There is a sudden pause in the conversation, and you know that you should say something now, but your brain seems to have stopped working. All you can think of is some boring question or stupid comment, but nothing interesting or good enough to actually say out loud.

You feel an awkward silence slowly descending like a dark cloud, and you start to panic inside. You feel like you’ve become a total idiot because your mind has become totally blank. It’s like you’ve lost your whole personality. You can barely even remember your own name at this point, let alone an appropriate thing to talk about.

You’re not alone if you’ve been in this situation before. I certainly have, many times. And I can understand that you want to prevent this from happening to you again, especially if you’re talking to a person who you like.

Well, good news! I’ve put together this cheat sheet of 50 interesting conversation topics you can use at any time to rekindle the conversation, even if you feel it start to go downhill. You can go over this list before a first date or a party, whenever you need to have a few good things to talk about in mind (just in case).

And don’t worry, almost all of the topics I suggest are “normal.” This means you won’t hear me tell you to say lines which a normal person would never talk about in real life.

For example, many of the “conversation tips” articles you’ll find on the internet are embarrassingly cringe-worthy. They often give you silly suggestions like: “If you made a TV show about your life, what would you name it?” Who really says something like that? I know I wouldn’t.

So without further introduction, here is the list of topics that you can refer back to anytime. 

You’ll notice most of them are fairly straightforward and “ordinary.” That’s because you don’t need to be talking about aliens and obscure philosophy in most conversations. (Unless you want to!) Often simple and obvious topics are enough to kick-start your brain again.

I’ve also put them into groups to make it easier for you:

Hobbies

If you find out what a person’s hobbies are, you instantly know a lot more about them. Hobbies are things people do without being paid to, just because they enjoy them. Some examples are: yoga, photography, working out, meditation, shopping, etc.

The best question I’ve found for finding out someone’s hobbies is:

1. What do you do in your free time? Simple and effective. This also has the benefit of being an open ended question. If this doesn’t get you a great reply you can ask more specific questions like…

• Do you play any musical instruments?

• Do you draw, paint or do art?

• Do you like dancing?

• Talk about technology, gadgets, cars. (Best if you’re a guy talking to another guy. Yes, this is a shameless stereotype, but I’ve yet to meet a girl who enjoys talking about computer specs with me — though I’m sure they exist!)

Work/School

Some people say you shouldn’t talk about work. I think that’s ridiculous. When you stop and listen to what people usually talk about, work and school are at the top of the list.

After all, people do spend several hours a day at these places. And their work or school are often related to an area they’re very passionate about. Their co-workers are also some of the people they spend the most time interacting with.

However, be warned: for some people these topics can be boring. Older people may be sick of talking about their work, and other people may only be doing a boring job for the money, like a student cashier or construction worker.

• What do you do/study? (Yes, the simplest and most common way to start a conversation.)

• What is your most (or least) favorite subject in school?

• How do you get along with the people you work with? (People love talking about their relationship and frustrations with other people. Yes, it’s gossip, but you also learn a lot about how the person works this way.)

• Do you love working there or are you doing it for the money? (This can be a playful question on a date, not a good idea at a networking event.)

1. What is your dream job? Another way to ask this: If money didn’t matter, what would you do with your time?

Travel

Many of the most memorable experiences in people’s lives came from traveling.

 When you’re in an unfamiliar place, in the middle of a new and strange culture… that’s gonna make a big impact on you.

And even if someone hasn’t traveled a lot yet, they usually have dreams of traveling in the future. Either on vacations or later in retirement.

1. What countries have you traveled to? (If you two have visited the same country, you may be able to talk about those shared experiences for hours.)

1. What was your biggest experience of “culture shock” in another country?

1. Where in the world would you love to live most? Why?

1. How does your home country compare to here? (If they were born/raised in a different country.)

1. What’s the worst thing that’s happened to you while traveling? (Be careful with this one, although you will get some interesting responses. I’ve heard people getting robbed by taxi drivers, getting scammed for a few bucks, etc.)

1. Have you ever travelled by yourself? (Or you can ask would they?)

1. Do you speak any other languages?

Entertainment

Walk around in public, and you will always hear people talking about movies, TV shows and books. For some reason, people love talking about stories and the characters inside them they feel like they know. There’s always new ones coming out, so the topic never really gets stale.

1. What’s your favorite movie (or TV show) ever?

1. Which movie/book/show are you ashamed to admit you love? (Lots of people read books like Twilight or watch reality TV as a guilty pleasure.)

• Which movie are you most looking forward to being released?

• What kind of books do you usually read? What was the last one you read? (This question is great if you’re on a date and trying to find an intelligent person!)

• What kind of music are you into right now? (A study found talking about music preferences leads to a quicker connection because music reveals your values to others!)

• What concerts have you been to? (If someone spends the money and time to go see an artist live, it means they like them a lot.)

• What movies have you watched more than once? Or what books have you read multiple times? (I’ve watched the Breaking Bad TV show 3 times already because it’s my favorite.)

• Do you play video games? (When someone is REALLY into video games, it’s a large part of their daily life.)

Food/Cooking

This is a light and fun topic. Everybody eats, and most people enjoy talking about their personal taste in food. If this is your first conversation with someone, then don’t try to figure out the meaning of life. Find out what type of food you should try!

• Talk about a recent restaurant you or they went to. How was it different than others, why was it good, why was it bad?

• What type of cooking do they do at home? Do they dislike it or find it relaxing?

• Do they usually cook food from a specific culture? (For example, maybe their parents are from Vietnam and that’s 90% of the food they eat.)

• Do they follow any specific diet? Like vegan or paleo for example. This can tell you A LOT about their personal values. (Don’t ask this to a fat person, they will probably get offended if they are sensitive about their weight.)

Past Experiences

The challenge with talking about past experiences, is that you usually don’t want to get too personal too quickly. If you do, the conversation may start to sound like a therapy session.

On a romantic date some of these questions may be appropriate. In other situation you’ll want past stories to come up more spontaneously, as they relate to whatever topic is being talked about. For example, if the topic of some new music trend comes up, you can mention what type of music you were into as a kid.

• Where did you grow up?

• What were you like as a kid? (Behaved, rebellious, quiet, attention-seeking, etc.)
• What did you want to be when you grew up? (You can also turn this into a funny question by asking them “What do you want to be when you grow up?”… even if they’re an adult.)

• What were your past jobs like?

• Do you have any siblings?

• Find out if you two shared any common interests as kids. (Maybe you were both interested in Pokemon, Harry Potter, etc. This can be an amazing way to build a lot of rapport quickly.)

Present Observations

This one is something most people miss… Back when I had a hard time carrying conversations, I’d often desperately try to think of new random topics to talk about out out of thin air. I would search my brain for something cool to say… like a magician pulling a rabbit out of his hat. As you can guess, this didn’t work that well.

What I’ve now realized is that making small observations about your environment is a great way to restart any conversation. Instead of racking the inside of your brain searching for something to say… instead try looking around you and pointing something out in the environment. This will often naturally lead to other things you two can discuss.

• If this is your first time meeting… Why are you both here now? If it’s an art gallery or a business networking event… that is the best topic to start the conversation with.

• Make a comment about something they’re wearing. Maybe it’s an interesting piece of jewellery or a compliment about their shirt.

• What other people are nearby? (Talk about what they’re doing, guess what their personality is like, maybe even make up a funny conspiracy story.)

• Is there anything new, unusual or different about your environment?

• Put more attention into your physical senses… Is there music playing? Some smell that you didn’t notice before? Are you eating something? What can you feel touching your skin?

Future Plans

People love talking about what they are looking forward to. The challenge here is not to sound like a job interviewer with something like “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?”

• What are you doing this weekend? (Very common conversation topic. This is a great way to start a conversation with someone you already know.)

• What local events are you looking forward to? (This could be a festival, holiday, concert, protest, or anything.)

• Would you prefer to live in the city or on a farm?

• What’s your main goal right now? What are you trying to accomplish?

Human Relationships

Almost nothing is more fascinating to most people than talking about how people work. Why? Because much of the meaning in our lives come from our connections. And to get what you want in life, you have to know how to handle people.

• Talk about men or women. I’ve seen guys connect very quickly talking about women, what they do, and how they operate. And I’ve heard this is even more true when women talk to each other about men.

• Ask them what their friends are like? Are they very similar to each other, or opposites?

• Have they had with the same friends most of their life, or made a lot of new ones?

• Ask about their family. Who did they live with? Were they strict, or easy going?

• Talk about some interesting idea you know from psychology. If you read a lot of psychology books like I do, this is easy. You can tie it into a story they just said.

• What do you believe is true that most people would disagree with you on? (This is a bit of an unusual deeper question, but I’ll put it in here since it’s really powerful. In fact, one of the most influential investors in the world says this his top interview question.)

Whew! That’s a lot of topic suggestions!

I hope you’ve picked up at least a few that can help you in your next conversation.

One last point in conclusion…

What Makes a Conversation Interesting?

Often people assume that the topic of your conversation has to be super-interesting. Not really true. I’ve heard comedians describe themselves making a sandwich… and hundreds of people sat listening with riveted attention.

So the lesson here is:

WHAT you talk about doesn’t always have to be incredibly interesting. You can make almost any conversation interesting if you are not afraid to openly share your unique perspective, personality and opinion.

And if you find that your conversations feel “boring”… the problem here could be that you are simply exchanging facts with the other person. You are making the mistake of not going deeper, and finding out how you or they operate as a person.

Here’s an example: Talking to someone about baseball statistics is boring. Talking to them about their favorite baseball team, baseball player, how you played baseball as a kid and how it shaped you… suddenly the “boring” conversation topic has become VERY interesting because it has become emotionally relevant to the two of you.

Take these conversation topics and tips with you… and best of luck!

Don’t Know What to Talk About? Here’s Why…

Have you ever heard a conversation between two or more outgoing people?

It’s disgusting.

They have the most pointless conversations imaginable.

Celebrity gossip.

The stupid trash movie they saw last week (that really isn’t all that funny).

Comments about other boring people they know.

Or nothing at all. They just talk on and on and it looks like they even enjoy it. They say almost nothing of substance and everyone else seems to love them for it.

While YOU can barely keep a relatively interesting conversation going. You know that you’re different than most people. That’s why you’re reading this post.

Maybe you’ve listened to some of those conversations. And maybe you’ve considered that you don’t talk much because you have nothing in common with most people. You don’t want to be lonely, but can’t ever imagine being part of such pointless conversations.

How can you add something interesting to a conversation that is about nothing?

But if you want to stop being quiet around people, then you’ll have to learn to talk about nothing. It’s an important social skill to have. (And I’m only joking a little bit here.)

What Should I Talk About?

You’ve come to this post because you want to know what to say. You want me to tell you some good things to talk about. But the question “What should I talk about?” is the wrong one.

Did you really believe people talk about stuff that actually matters?

They don’t, and for a good reason.

Most people have nothing real interesting to say. They just don’t know enough to be able to talk about fascinating subjects all the time. Maybe I’m a pessimist in this way, but most people aren’t even that intelligent.

But that doesn’t stop them from having friends. Or girlfriends and boyfriends. Or a social life.

It actually helps. Here’s why…

People Don’t Remember Most Conversations They Have

Most people spend many hours talking throughout the day. They have many conversations with many different people. They talk about their new cat, their vacation in Fiji and what someone else posted on Facebook. They talk about Kanye West, Taylor Swift, Obama, sports, music, makeup, celebrities and so on.

Most people’s problem is not thinking of something to say… it’s shutting up for once!

Yet how many of those conversations do you think they remember?

The trap many shy people fall into is believing every conversation you have must be interesting and important. You might obsess about some small conversation you had with someone for days afterwards. You might lay in bed thinking about what you said, imagining what you could have said, analyzing what you did right and wrong, and planning what you’re going to say to the person the next time they see them.

But tell me, how much has the other person thought of the conversation?

They’ve probably forgotten about it entirely. Because they had plenty of other conversations that pushed it out of their mind. Maybe they had new problems to solve or events to go to. In the end, one little conversation means nothing to the average person in the grand scheme of things. At least it shouldn’t.

That’s why no matter what you say to someone in the average conversation, they will almost 100% certainly forget it within a few days. Because of this, you don’t need to have something particularly interesting to say. You just need to say something.

People don’t remember what you said, but they do remember that you had something to say. In the end, you can talk about interesting stuff, or “nothing.” Nothing is much easier.

Why Should I Want to Talk About Nothing, Anyway?

Good question.

Maybe you’ve agreed with me so far in this post. You find most conversations pointless, so you would rather just so something different. You can always spend the time: reading books, doing your favorite hobby, playing a video game or changing the world.

These are all great things to do, and you should definitely do what you want to.

But you should also find time to make small talk and socialize with people. This gives you much different feelings of belonging and connectedness that other activities never will. It brings a feeling of balance to your life and makes you feel understood by other human beings which gets rid of loneliness. And most importantly, it is what we were meant to do naturally.

People are supposed to be able to make conversation naturally and talk openly about whatever dumb thing comes into your mind, except your shyness gets in the way.

Fortunately, there are several techniques you can use to make words flow out of your mouth like water in a stream, many helped me overcome my own shyness immensely.

How Do I Talk About Nothing?

Did you ever see someone you’d like to say “Hello” to… and then you began to plan out exactly how you’re going to say it and what funny remark you’re going to say afterwards?

Don’t do that.

First of all, it’s too much effort to carefully plan everything you’re going to say. It’s like having a “filter” between your brain and your mouth, only letting through the few remarks that pass your high standards.

You have to stop thinking about what you’re going to say before you say it. Don’t think when you’re talking. Don’t decide on what you’re going to say. Keep your mind completely blank, and just let whatever wants to come out, come out.

Essentially, what you’re doing is making talking spontaneous. You stop using your rational brain and start using your instincts and “gut feeling” more often. This means you no longer have to actively think about or worry about what you’re going to say next. This does take some getting used to, but soon you’ll find small talk becomes a breeze and it’s actually really FUN!

What to Do When Talking

When you’re talking, you have to be in the present moment.

Shy people are usually stuck in their own little head (I would know) thinking about something they just said, and how funny or horrible it was. Or they’re worrying about what they’re going to have to say next, and how to avoid looking nervous or awkward.

Being stuck in your head… thinking, worrying, imagining, daydreaming… is the worst thing you could possibly do if you want to have a natural conversation.

It’s because of this that you sometimes run out of things to say. It isn’t like you have nothing to say. You have a whole lifetime of knowledge, experiences and opinions.

The real problem is not a lack of thoughts to express, but believing that everything that comes out of your mouth must be interesting, unexpected or funny.

The truth is, people don’t remember most conversations, so it’s useless having something great to say every time it is your turn to talk. Instead, you have to practice speaking without thinking. This lets you relax and enjoy conversations more because you now just say whatever “feels” right.

To be able to do this, you can’t be thinking 10 seconds into the future or 10 seconds into the past. You have to be in the moment.

“What If I Say Something Stupid?”

If you don’t run through whatever you’re going to say in your head, how do you know what you’re actually going to say?

You don’t. You just have to trust that over many years of conversations and hearing other people talk, you have enough experience to be able to come up with something appropriate to say automatically. This takes a leap of faith at the beginning.

You’ve been carefully thinking about what to say for so long, that just talking spontaneously will seem unnatural at first. Trust me, it’s much easier and it’s how most people talk.

“I’m Too Smart.”

Maybe you still think “regular people” are too different from you. You couldn’t be more wrong.

There are plenty of very smart and social people out there. You being smart and shy has nothing to do with you being a genius, you’ve just gotten into the habit of not talking. And you can break habits.

Here’s What I Do When Meeting New People

Have you ever seen someone you’d like to meet and wondered how to start a conversation?

Maybe it was an attractive girl or guy you really liked, or someone at your work.

If you’re like I used to be, then you probably starting thinking hard about what you could say when you approached them. You thought about funny or interesting ways to start talking to them. You thought about what you could say afterwards to keep the conversation going and avoid an awkward silence.

And guess what always happens? Usually all this thinking just makes you so nervous that you end up never approaching them. Over thinking makes you imagine everything that could go wrong, and you get stuck in paralysis by analysis.

Don’t worry, I used to be the same way.

This is what I do now: When I see someone I want to meet I give myself 3 seconds to walk over to them. I don’t hesitate and I don’t think for even a second. I keep my mind completely blank and trust that I’m going to have something to say. And you know what? I always do.

Sometimes it’s as simple as: “Hi, I’m Sean” which is good enough. You wouldn’t believe some of the other things I’ve come up with on the spot!

The secret is to not think. Throw yourself into the conversation. You don’t know what you’re going to say, and that’s okay.

Next time when you face this situation of I don’t know what to say, watch this video –How To Never Run Out Of Things To Say In Conversation

Summary

So here’s a list of the main points I’ve covered:

1. It doesn’t matter what you talk about because people forget most conversations completely a few days after they happen.

• You have to be in the moment, not thinking about what happened 10 seconds ago or what you should say 10 seconds in the future. You have to trust that your mind can come up with the right thing to say automatically, you just have to stop “filtering” or censoring what comes out of your mouth so much.

• Most people have no idea what’s going to come out of their mouth, even as they’re talking. They are spontaneous when they are socializing. That’s the level you want get to.

Next time you’re in a conversation, talk without thinking. Stop putting pressure on yourself to say interesting, unexpected or funny things all the time. Sure, some conversation topics are better than others, but most of the time people talk about nothing significant. Over time this approach will feel natural.
