Avoid spicy food if you have heartburn

Avoid eating garlic, chillies, and other hot spices before bedtime. They can keep you awake by causing heartburn or indigestion.

Heartburn and Tomatoes

While they might be chockfull of healthy nutrients like lycopene, Chutkan tells WebMD that tomatoes are also highly acidic and likely to cause heartburn in those who are prone to it.

The acid antidote may be a sour ball, according to Daniel Mausner, MD. Mausner is the section head of gastroenterology at Mercy Medical Center in Rockville Center, N.Y. "Things that promote saliva -- like sour balls -- are good for acid reflux," he says, "because saliva neutralizes the acid that comes up from your stomach."

Spicy food is great but we need to take care of our health. Be sure not to eat too much spicy foods, and always check your health with  your doctor.  I love spicy food and i know that it's hard to stay away from spicy foods because we like to feel spicy in our mouth.
