Accidental Heartburn/Hyperacidity Remedy

Had tis stingin pain in my sternum tis mornin & i knew it will worsen by the hour as the acid will keep on buildin up. I knew the culprit that caused me tis pain is that glass of Rose Juliet latte I had last nite. After glasses of warm water and staggered poppin of abt 3 antacids, the feeling was quite contained until right after my lunch of Chicken Chop. The pain was far worse and i didn't have with me the antacids! Headed to the supermarket and I reached out for a can of Coconut Juice to wash down my food & hopefully relief my pain.

I juz can't wait to get back to my locker and chew on those antacid when i realised few minutes after i finished my can of Coconut Juice, the aweful pain was GONE! Poof! Totally!

Coconut Juice is alot more Effective than antacids! Checked out some sites and it IS actually a recommended home remedy! DOH!


From

"Coconut water is the liquid fuel (endosperm) for the young coconut seed. As the coconut matures, the water is absorbed into the flesh. Coconut water is an amazing source of nutrition because it is alkaline and high in potassium and other minerals. In fact the pH of coconut water is so close to the pH of blood that it can (and has been) used as an intravenous fluid for rehydration."

From
http://www.ayushveda.com/magazine/remedies-for-gastric-problems/
"Coconut water is an excellent remedy for gastritis.  It gives the stomach the necessary rest and provides vitamins and minerals.  The stomach can be returned to a normal condition if nothing but coconut water is given during the first twenty-four hours."

So i noe now next time i get hyperacidity/heartburn attack, i dun have to head down to the nearest pharmacy n chew on those chalky tasting things anymore!

"He it is Who sends down water (rain) from the sky; from it you drink and from it (grows) the vegetation on which you send your cattle to pasture. With it He causes to grow for you the crops, the olives, the date-palms, the grapes, and every kind of fruit. Verily! In this is indeed an evident proof and a manifest sign for people who give thought(reflect)." [Surah An Nahl:10-11]

Such is a wonder God's provision...Subhanallah!

    coconut water. the magic bullet.
    one of the most important nutrient source in plant tissue culture.

    And if i may add: coconut water contains a good amount of the cytokinine hormone zeatin. If it sounds greek to you, its actually the same thing as SK2 PITERA. Drink some weekly and you will have radiant flawless skin. I know coz im doing it myself. Cosmetic tips to you from the plant guy. LOL

  16. ooh fd tis article on yahoo, thot i'd juz put up e extra info of related issue here.

    Preventing upset stomach

    Healthy lifestyle choices may help prevent mild indigestion.

    * Eat smaller, more frequent meals. Chew your food slowly and thoroughly. Avoid anything that triggers indigestion, such as fatty and spicy foods, carbonated beverages, caffeine and alcohol.
    * Maintain a healthy weight. Excess pounds put pressure on your abdomen, pushing up your stomach and causing acid to back up into your esophagus.
    * Exercise regularly. With your doctor's OK, aim for 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity on most days of the week. It can be as simple as a nightly walk after dinner.
    * Manage stress. Create a calm environment at mealtime. Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation or yoga. Spend time doing things you enjoy.
