Cut down on Spicy Foods
I really like spicy foods, but these are a big cause of indigestion. If you get bad indigestion after you eat spicy foods, then just try to stay away from them and do not eat spicy food all the time.

Did you know thatsmokingcan also cause indigestion? Therefore, if you have been having indigestion a lot and you smoke, you should quit smoking. I know, it’s easier said than done, but it’s no good for your body anyway. Besides, smoking is not attractive at all.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

About 2 hours before bedtime, you should avoid eating anything. This will lower your chances of getting indigestion. Only drink water or warm milk before getting a good night's sleep.
