1.Lose Weight
Losing just ten percent of your body weight can dramatically help with acid reflux and heartburn. Start a healthy diet, full of raw vegetables, lean proteins and unsaturated fats. Eat small meals throughout the day, and avoid heavy meals laden with grease, especially later in the day. Don't eat within three hours of going to bed.
2.Probiotic Saccharomyces Boulardii
You may have heard about probiotics helping with digestion, but Saccharomyces Boulardii is specifically made to help the small intestine absorb vitamins that are essential to the prevention of heartburn. A great proactive way to daily prevent heartburn symptoms from arising. Sold in most heath food stores and online.
3.Warm Water With Lemon
Starting the day lemon squeezed into a cup of warm water is a great way to ward off heartburn symptoms. Drink it fifteen to twenty minutes before eating breakfast and it will balance out acid levels in your digestive tract. It's a proactive way to tackle heartburn and prevent it from occurring.
4.Slippery Elm
Slippery Elm comes in capsule, powder or lozenge form. The lozenges work best in that not only does the Slippery Elm combat the acid in the esophagus, it also soothes the irritated tissues. The more acid reflux you get the more your digestive tract becomes raw and painful, causing chest pains that can sometimes be as bad as a heart attack.
5.Chew Gum
Chewing gum increases saliva production which is known to lower the levels of acid in your esophagus. Chewing gum after meals is a great proactive way to prevent symptoms from occurring, but can also work if symptoms creep up. Stick some gum in your mouth and chew away the pain.
6.Red Delicious Apple
They always said that an apple a day keeps the doctor away, well it seems an apple a day keeps the heartburn away, too. Eat a Red Delicious Apple after a meal that is causing heartburn symptoms and relief will be on the way. The acid in the apple stabilizes your own acid as well as soothes.
7.Baking Soda
This doesn't taste so great but it works to soothe the esophagus. Add a tablespoon of baking soda to a half cup of water and chug it. Chase it with more water, tea or something cranberry juice. It is very effective in alleviating the symptoms of heartburn such as burning irritation.

8.Raw Almonds
Raw almonds balances the pH in your body and is a great source of calcium. This alkaline producing food normalizes the acid in your body and therefore reduces heartburn and its symptoms. A handful of almonds for a snack, added to your morning yogurt, or ground up in a smoothie, are all great ways to incorporate them into your diet.
9.Sleep On Left Side
Sleeping on your left side helps alleviate morning heartburn. When you sleep on your right side you are sleeping on your stomach and that can increase symptoms, especially upon waking. Keeping your head elevated helps as well as not lying down directly after a meal and not eating within three hours of bed time.

Chamomile is a natural relaxant that help with sleep at night, but can also help with heartburn. It reduces acid reflux symptoms when taken after meals and before bed for a heartburn free morning. Mint of fenugreek tea is another option to help with irritating symptoms such as burning and pain.
11.Apple Cider Vinegar
It may seem counterproductive for someone with heartburn to add acid to their diet, but heartburn is actually caused by too little acid production. Apple Cider Vinegar stimulates acid production cutting down on heartburn. Make sure to choose natural Apple Cider Vinegar with "Mother." It should say it on the label and you can tell by the murky look and settlement on the bottom.
