Step 1
Consider the foods that trigger your heartburn and limit or eliminate them. These might include tomatoes, raw onions, citrus fruits and spicy foods.
-
Step 2
Take up meditation to relax when stress overwhelms you. Find an exercise routine that you enjoy and will stick with.

Step 5
Add eating papaya or pineapple to your daily diet.
