Night-time Heartburn Fix

Tonight we’ll reveal the simple habit that can stop those burning seconds after iftar.

Why heartburn spikes at night

When you break fast with a big, oily plate, your stomach stretches and the lower esophageal ring relaxes. Lying down right after lets acid slip upward, and a heavy meal close to bedtime adds pressure. These three things combine to fire up that burning feeling.

Gentle iftar routine

Start with one to three dates and a glass of water, sip slowly. Then pause for prayer or a short walk, about ten to fifteen minutes, so your stomach begins to settle. Fill the rest of your plate with half vegetables, a quarter protein and a quarter roti, and keep fried bites to a single piece.

Delay before sleep

A three-hour gap between your last big bite and lying down can keep acid where it belongs, away from the food pipe.

Sleep setup tips

Raise the head of your bed by about fifteen to twenty centimeters using sturdy blocks, or slip a wedge pillow under your shoulders. Sleeping on your left side keeps the stomach below the esophagus, and loosening tight waistbands after iftar reduces pressure.

Head raise height

Elevating the head end of the bed by fifteen to twenty centimeters creates a gentle incline that helps gravity keep stomach acid down.

The one habit to stop heartburn

All the tips help, but the single most effective change is to wait at least three hours after your last big iftar bite before you lie down. That pause lets your stomach settle and dramatically cuts night-time reflux.
