The Big Game represents one of the largest eating days in the United States, with gatherings serving up everything from spicy buffalo wings and pizza to sliders and nachos. Between all these go-to treats and the stress brought on by watching the game, many fans experience heartburn.
Though common, heartburn can be very uncomfortable, with many feeling a painful \u201cburning\u201d sensation in the chest. Some may also experience pressure or pain just behind the breastbone that can last minutes or continue for a few hours. Other symptoms include the feeling that food is \u201csticking\u201d in the chest or throat, a sour or acid taste in the back of the throat, and discomfort that gets worse after eating, burping and bloating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


But heartburn doesn\u2019t need to sideline you on game day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tackle Heartburn Symptoms
<\/em><\/strong>To avoid heartburn, take a look at your game day spread. Incorporate foods that are low in fat and high in protein or that have a high water content. Healthy choices include hummus, crudit\u00e9, grilled chicken skewers and non-alcoholic beverages. No matter what you\u2019re snacking on though, be sure to stop eating before you\u2019re full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


It\u2019s also smart to cheer from a sitting or standing position. When you lie flat, your esophagus and stomach are on an even plane. This makes it easy for stomach acids to flow into your esophagus, which can cause heartburn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Dodge wardrobe malfunctions by wearing clothing with a little give. Tight clothing or belts can put constant pressure on your stomach, giving acid nowhere to go but up and out. An easy fix? Wear your favorite jersey and don\u2019t be afraid to loosen your belt a notch or two.
If you do need fast heartburn relief, you can also turn to TUMS, which takes seconds to start neutralizing gastric acid in the esophagus, where the pain of heartburn generally starts. It keeps working as it dissolves, going to work fast to relieve the pain of heartburn. To learn more, and for more heartburn relief tips, visit tums.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stress Less, Have Fun
<\/em><\/strong>Stress is increasingly being recognized as a contributing factor to heartburn, so make the Big Game less nerve-wracking and more fun with some friendly heated competition.

\u201cTo avoid stress-induced heartburn, take a cue from my playbook and try to have some extra fun during the Big Game,\u201d says Hall of Fame running back, and two-time Big Game champion, Terrell Davis, who will be competing against Pittsburgh legendary wide receiver and two-time Big Game champion, Hines Ward, in a special head-to-head trivia challenge on February 10, livestreamed via @TUMSOfficial.
