Here
in this article you can learn how GERD salad
dressings can at least offer relief to all
those who are suffering from the disease. Read on
to know more.
Did
you know that GERD is more common among people
living in developed countries? The disease can be
really bad and worse still, it seems to affect the
aged more.
Get
a treat for GERD
The
delightfully dressed green salad often forms a
part of the menu. But here comes the crucial point
of distinction - should the salad dressing be more
appealing to the eye or can it also serve a more
important purpose, particularly when it comes to
GERD. And the good news is, it seems that the
salad dressing may be extremely
helpful.
How
to set up the salad
dressing?
To
start with, the dressings should not be too oily
or acidic nor very creamy in nature. The use of
apple cider vinegar as part of the dressing
appears to be quite satisfactory since it includes
several essential enzymes, minerals, fibers in the
form of potash and pectin and more than twenty
trace elements. Besides, such dressings also have
anti spasmodic properties that are supportive to
esophageal irritations or spasms. GERD salad
dressings consisting of apple cider vinegar and
mixed with crushed cloves of garlic and
refrigerated for a couple of hours may help those
affected by GERD.
Investigations
have also revealed that only sugar free probiotic
unheated yogurt-based dressings can prevent GERD
if taken regularly. It is comparatively a simple
method in which one has to choose the flavor of
the yogurt and then get it blended till all the
lumps are gone. Such salad dressings can indeed be
effective. There are no side effects, and they are
soothing to the stomach wall and are
bacteria-friendly to the various stomach bacilli
too.
Alternatively,
Parmigiano-Reggiano based dressings may also prove
effective in controlling GERD. However, the recipe
is rather complex and therefore, needs care and
attention as to the proportions of its various
ingredients. Salad dressings for 4 servings need
to consist of ½ ounce of Parmigiano-Reggiano, 2
Tbsp of reduced-fat mayonnaise, 2 Tbsp of non-fat
buttermilk, ¼ cup of 2% milk, ½ tsp of balsamic
vinegar (but since the triggers of GERD seem to be
different from one person to another, in some at
least, vinegar may cause acid), 2 Tbsp of yellow
bell pepper, 1 Tbsp of red bell pepper and 1 ounce
of reduced-fat Swiss cheese.
An
apple cider vinegar diet also works great for all
those who are suffering from
GERD.
Yes,
the dressings should be good to eat. But more
importantly perhaps, such GERD salad
dressings can help all those who are suffering
from GERD.
The
dressings are effective, yes. There are also quite
a few conventional medicines that treat the
condition. However the fact is that, such
medicines often treat just the symptoms whereas
the real factors remain unattended. Holistic or
natural remedies are often
better.
The fact is, what causes GERD
is a complex issue and there are quite a few
contributing factors involved such as genetic
traits, lifestyles, dietary patterns and Candida
infections. So it is essential that the body is
treated as a whole, which is what holistic
treatments aim to do. This is why holistic
treatments are so successful in treating
GERD.
