GASTRITIS - 'Epidemic' Of The Century !!!

How often have you felt a heaviness in your stomach? How frequently do you have excessive burping? How many times have you felt a burning sensation over your chest?

Most of you would reply these questions with a YES. It isn't a surprise to know that GASTRITIS as a condition is so common that almost 90% of the human population above the age of 20 years, would have experienced it's symptoms partially or fully, at least once in their lifetime!

A noticeable rise in the cases of GASTRITIS- Or what we frequently refer to as 'ACIDITY'- have been observed since a few decades.

REASONS??

1. Inactive or sedentary lifestyle.

2. Intake of junk food.

3. Unsupervised intake of medicines.

4. Increasing levels of mental stress.

It is very important to understand that 'Acidity' is a lifestyle disorder and it needs lifestyle and dietary measures to bring about a long lasting control.

Humans are designed to move - Being a 'TREE' wasn't the plan!

However, it becomes increasingly tough to make such lifestyle changes owing to inactive lifestyle and junk food getting more common!

The medications for ACIDITY are getting more and more effective! But still we aren't looking at the root cause of it! An 'EPIDEMIC' needs root cause analysis and control- We already have this EPIDEMIC around! Should we take measures for now.. Atleast for our own self !?
