Home Remedies for an Upset Stomach
If you frequently have heartburn and sour stomach, now may be the perfect time to start a daily exercise routine. Indigestion, bloating and acid reflux can all be attributed to being overweight, as those extra pounds are putting pressure on the stomach and causing gastric acid to back up into the esophagus. Besides heartburn, there are other conditions, such as arthritis, gout, lupus and fibromyalgia, that tend to worsen when a person is overweight. Patients with heart conditions should consult their doctors before starting an exercise program.
