13. Eat some almonds
When you feel the burning sensation in your chest starts to creep up, munch on a handful of almonds. These nuts are fairly alkaline, which means that they can help to balance the pH levels of the stomach acids that are pushing their way up into the esophagus.
Additionally, almonds contain anti-inflammatory properties, which could help to ease the inflammation that occurs in the wall of the esophagus when stomach acids are present and compound the pain.
Plus, almonds are low in fat, high in fiber, and contain a lot of protein, further aiding in digestion and easing heartburn.
