Preventing Acidity
1
Eat slowly and stop when you're full.
If you're the kind of person who likes to eat fast, make a conscious effort to go slower. Remember that it takes about 20 minutes for your brain to get the signal that your body is full! Keep your eating slow and take note of how you feel after 20 minutes to better track and address your heartburn.

Stop eating foods that exacerbate stomach acidity.
Tomatoes, marinara, garlic, onion, chocolate, citric fruits, peppermint, soda, carbonated drinks, alcohol, gluten, and high-fat and fried foods are all culprits. Cut these out of your diet and you'll get much more effect out of your Eno.

Avoid drinking coffee and tea.
A fresh cup of coffee or tea might be good for a morning boost, but both increase stomach acidity—especially on an empty stomach—which can lead to indigestion and heartburn. Try to cut them out of your diet to get the most out of your Eno.
