Avoid foods with
high fat content
and spice.

The National Heartburn Alliance (NHBA) has recognized the need for heartburn education by sponsoring the first ever Heartburn Awareness Month -- November.

Survey results have shown that 66 percent of people experience heartburn symptoms during the holidays and 94 percent said they would have more fun during the holidays if they didn't have to worry about eating and heartburn.

The NHBA has some tips on incorporating lifestyle changes into a diet during the holidays so that heartburn suffers can learn to alleviate symptoms and enjoy the festivities.

Don't overindulge. Eat your favorite holiday foods, but try eating less. Avoid food and drink that trigger heartburn like red wine, foods with high fat content and spice.

Do not eat late at night or right before going to bed.

Remaining calm helps reduce stress levels that tend to increase during the holidays. Take a walk after a holiday dinner for some stress-free quite time.

Moderation works. From Thanksgiving to New Year's Eve, holiday celebrations and alcoholic beverages are plentiful. Go easy and you may avoid heartburn.
