digestion if there is an indigestion problem.
• Eating on time prevents the gastric juice from being secreted
and cause stomach problem.
• When you Cut down on spicy, acidic, fried or fatty foods helps
reduce gastric symptoms and allows your stomach to heal.
• Alcohol in excess can weaken the stomach lining and cause
stomach ulcers. So to prevent that we have to reduce or stop
drinking alcohol.
• Smoking increases the production​ of stomach acid, slows
down healing and increases your risk of getting stomach
cancer.
• High stress increases the production of gastric juices in your
stomach. Exercise regularly and adopt relaxation activities
such as yoga to keep your stress in check.
