Are you having habit of taking antacids- too frequently- almost everyday for Your acidity?

Taking antacids too frequently may lead to some serious health problems…..

• It is natural to have the presence of acid in your stomach.

without acid in your stomach, you cannot digest your

food properly.

• lack of acidic environment in your stomach interferes in

proper absorption of calcium, folic acid and zinc. As

these nutrients require acidic environment in your stomach

to get assimilated.

• This can lead to some serious health issues even if you

take enough of these nutrients/ minerals in your diet as

if they can not be absorbed, you don’t get benefited.

Deficiency of folic acid leads to:

• Iron deficiency anaemia
• Anaemia will weaken your immunity
• &, you can’t afford to have low immunity especially during

this covid pandemic.

Deficiency of calcium leads to:

• Weak bones- osteoporosis
• Muscle pain- muscle cramps
• Irregular heart beats
