4. Gum

When I was younger, chewing gum was a nasty habit. But, who knew, years later, it would be considered a way to reduce heartburn, according to a recent study. Chewing gum apparently encourages the production of your saliva, and swallowing. This assists in diluting and clearing the stomach acid from your esophagus.

Chew gum after meals for at least half an hour to help reduce heartburn.
