Do you have acidity problem?

nope..

Smoking, alcohal, intake of tea, coffee, fried things etc should be avoided if one has acidity problem.

Yes, I had much but now reduced and still little problem each day feel. Drink having citric acid increase acidity. Eat much vegetable each day and some raw root vegetable, your acitity will cure. I eat rotten orange (little rotten)with salt which decreased my acidity. This is best medicine.

avoid coffee, chocolates, acidic diet, non vegetarian food, spicy foods, alcohol, drugs like aspirin and dispirin

How well do you know yourself? How well do you know the chemistry makeup of your body? There is something that you need to know and you need to work on. It's the pH level of your body. The pH is a value, which is the potential of hydrogen. Hydrogen is an element, which is the lightest element of all the elements known to man. The value of pH is a range from 1-14, which measures the acidity or alkalinity of a substance. If a substance is 1 on the pH chart, it is as acidic as it can get. If it is 14, it is as alkaline as it can get. A pH of 7.0 is neutral and it is this level that our bodies were designed to function at.

To better understand the importance of this, let's take a look at the temperature balancing acts that our bodies do and that of other animals. Our normal body temperature should be about 98.6 degrees. If our temperature drops, we could be in trouble or if it raises we could be in trouble. As little as a 5% change can send us on a one-way trip to never never land. Our pH levels can have some similar results but over a longer time period (unless we really pickle ourselves such as alcohol poisoning). We are going to look into acidity for our discussion.

When we think of acid, we think about the corrosion it causes when it comes in contact with another material. In a sense, that is what happens in our bodies when our pH level is too acidic. It doesn't take much to throw off this delicate balance. There is a constant adjustment in the body's pH level. This is natural as the body continues replacing cells and other functions. This is not the only way our body becomes more acidic. The food we eat, the environment we are in and the products that we touch every day will affect the pH levels of our body. A lot of the products that we clean with or use on our bodies are toxic to us. We even create an acidic pH level because of our day-to-day stresses. (If you look into employment histories of certain professions, you can see the results in regards to disease rates for these professions.)

We've just touched on it slightly just above but what are some of the problems associated with body acidity? The answer is diseases and poor health conditions. There is more and more evidence linking body acidity to various diseases. Certain degenerative diseases have been reported to be linked to acidic conditions. Persons that have suffered with cancer and ulcers and a variety of other diseases such as osteoporosis and arthritis have been known to have acidic pH levels.

The body will make attempts to correct the pH level just as it would make attempts to correct the body temperature level if it were off. If the body is too acidic, it will start depleting minerals from the body that would bring the body acidic level back to normal. If this continues, there will be other consequences and therefore, you will see diseases such as osteoporosis because of calcium depletion.

yes i have chronic acidity problem.
first you should take care of your digestion and your eating habbits.
you should avoid eating non-veg., spicy, oily, deep fried stuff and should cut down straight or to minimum on tea and coffee.
vegetables like brinjal, garlic, ginger, and fruits like papaya, pineapple should also be avoided.
you should also stop or slow down on smoking and drinks too.soft drinks will also harm.
