I've just found out my Vitamin D3 level is really low, like 8.5, and I know it's supposed to be over 30. Is there any natural way to boost it without having to rely on tablets?

Acidity and bloating can be uncomfortable.

Causes:

1. Poor digestion: Inadequate digestion can lead to acidity and bloating.
2. Food triggers: Consuming spicy, fatty, or citrusy foods can exacerbate acidity.
3. Lifestyle factors: Stress, irregular eating habits, and lack of exercise can contribute to acidity.

Solutions:

1. Dietary changes:
   • Eat smaller, frequent meals
   • Avoid trigger foods (spicy, fatty, citrusy)
   • Incorporate alkaline-rich foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains)
2. Digestive enzymes: Consider taking digestive enzyme supplements to support protein, carbohydrate, and fat digestion.
3. Probiotics: Add probiotics to your diet to promote a healthy gut microbiome.
4. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
5. Manage stress: Engage in stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises.
6. Exercise regularly: Regular physical activity can help improve digestion and reduce acidity.

Quick relief:

1. Ginger: Try ginger tea, ginger ale, or ginger candies to help alleviate acidity.
2. Aloe vera juice: Drink aloe vera juice to help soothe the stomach and reduce acidity.
3. Antacids: If you experience severe acidity, consider taking antacids like Tums, Rolaids, or Mylanta.
