Hyperacidity
Excessive consumption of sugar and starch leads to production of fermented acids in the digestive system. The excess acid flush into the blood stream making it hypo–alkaline. Another cause of hyperacidity is missing of a meal between or not taking it at fixed intervals resulting in hyper secretion of acid in the stomach, which burns the soft delicate mucosal lining. At times the acid regurgitates into the esophagus, resulting in burning sensation in the throat region (heart burn). Intake of spicy food, stimulants such as coffee, tea, alcohol, smoking, tobacco chewing and stress and strains, all directly result in hyper secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
