You Say You Have Heartburn? Good!

You Say You Have Heart Burn?
Be Happy, It’s Good For You!
Your probably thinking “What? Has he gone nuts?!” No I’m serious. You need to be happy. Why? Because it’s your body talking to you; trying to get your attention and you should be happy as long as your body’s talking to you. What’s it saying?
Have you ever noticed that you usually don’t get heart burn until after you’ve eaten something? That’s significant. Now let me ask a question here: do you get heartburn from everything you eat? I’ll bet you don’t. Most people who get heartburn, if they are anything like me, get it mostly when they eat certain types of food. In fact we may know that we’re going to get it and we already have our roll of antacids handy. Those antacids are wonderful...right?
I don’t think so because using them is only a way of avoiding the real issue: your body doesn’t want you to eat that particular food because it’s harmful to you. It’s your body’s way of giving you a friendly reminder it doesn’t like what you’re feeding it. The heartburn disease is your friend; friends tell friends when they’re doing something wrong.
You may think that little purple pill is your friend if you think it will allow you to continue to treat yourself like a garbage can. You’ve done yourself tremendous harm by the time you need that little purple pill. But, I’ll admit here that you may need that purple pill if it will allow your body to heal itself. But, I really believe that if you stop putting garbage into yourself that you won’t need that little purple pill after all.
Your probably wondering what you should do? Expand your horizons. There are other things to eat that won’t upset your system like those foods that cause heartburn. Find them, eat them and thrive. Your body is also talking to you when you don’t get heartburn after you’ve eaten something. What’s it saying? It’s saying that what you ate was more acceptable but, maybe not best.
By the way, heartburn disease may not be the only way your body is talking to you about the food you eat. The allergy disease may be doing the same thing only in a different way. Learn to listen to your body when it gives you disease symptoms. You’d much rather deal with first level disease than second or third level. Most disease (all disease) is a way of your self telling yourself that you’re doing something wrong. Listen to yourself.
Tomorrow I’ll offer some suggestions as to what you can eat as an alternative to heartburn producing poisons.
