Beat That Acidity!

Get wise about foods which cause, and help relieve, acidity.

- Aishwarya P. Vaidya

The stomach normally secretes acid that is essential in the digestive process. This acid helps in breaking down the food during digestion. But when there is excess production of acid by the gastric glands in the stomach, it results in a condition known as acidity. Dyspepsia, heartburn and the formation of ulcers are some of the effects of acidity.
