Professor of the Department of Gastroenterology at the University of Manchester in the UK, Peter Worwell, advised drinking a glass of milk in case of heartburn. The product will help neutralize the symptoms of heartburn.

Milk contains sodium alginate and potassium bicarbonate. These substances neutralize the effect of hydrochloric acid contained in gastric juice, during the reaction with which food is broken down

However, do not forget that milk is not a panacea. This is only a short term solution. If you have problems with heartburn, you should consult a doctor. The specialist also advised not to abuse fatty foods and alcohol, which can cause heartburn, reports the Daily Mail.
