| Article Title :: Diet For Heartburn |
| |
| Heartburn is a common digestive complaint which affects an estimated 15 million Americans every day, and 60 million once a month. Relief of mild heartburn is typically achieved through diet and lifestyle changes, although medication (eg. antacids) is usually necessary if the heartburn is caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).What is Heartburn? What Are The Symptoms?Heartburn is a digestive problem: it has nothing to do with your heart.

| Article Title :: No More Sugary Sodas in US Schools - Let's Give Big Bill a Pat on the Back |
| |

| Article Title :: The Health Benefits of Tea |
| |
| When I was a child, many years ago, very few people who I knew of, were aware of natural substances that were good for a person's health. My mother drank instant coffee that one purchased in supermarkets. With the instant coffee, one only had to add hot water, and the coffee was drinkable. My mother drank very little tea, which would always be in tea bag form and was always black tea. Also, with the tea bag, one only had to add hot water in a cup, and then let the tea steep from the bag into the hot water for a few moments. There was never any talk, at least in our household, of the benefits of tea or coffee, for that matter. I don't even know if there was much talk of doing what wa (read full article) |
