Singapore is a food heaven for many. As a melting pot in Asia, many of these foods adapt the use of herbs, spices, chilly and coconut in their ingredient. These food may not go down well with some who have a weak stomach. With the array of food available, many succumb to eating more than what their body needs. Hours after their heavy meal, they sometimes felt an unpleasant taste in their mouth, which are actually affects of acid indigestion, as they get a gastric like tightness and feel unwell.
Having said that, I remembered how often I had these symptoms during my last trimester in my pregnancy. My gynaecologist said it is very common during pregnancies but do happen to those who do not watch their diet, eating lifestyle or eating certain foods. Some of these unfortunate incidents lead to a term called Acid Reflux Disease. He also advised that those who had experienced it should understand that some of these symptoms if not cared for may lead to more serious conditions such as esophageal ulcers and esophageal cancer. It is important not to take them lightly and know what are the dangers and also what are the remedy one can do to avoid them. For more information about Acid Reflux and treatments, refluxnaturalremedy.com is a helpful guide.

Healthy Singaporeans
Health is an issue that Singaporeans don't take lightly. There are many drives and roadshows in Singapore to promote healthy living in Singapore, which is encouraged greatly by the Singapore government. There are free health assessments, bone mass test by many sponsors as part of the growing health awareness in Singapore. Anlene has done many roadshows to create the awareness of shortage of calcium in our body. It was one of these shows that I went and discovered that I had not enough calcium in my bones that may be a risk in old age. Singaporeans are not shy for free checkups and is very forthcoming in these. You will be able to see the crowds in such road shows or free health checks.
