We’ve been told by our parents since we were young that eating while watching TV would cause indigestion. As we grew older, TV became a privilege and we’ve resorted to another bad habit: eating while working.
So, does eating while working (or doing any other things) lead to indigestion?
Before that, let’s look at indigestion.
What’s Indigestion?
Indigestion is described as a too-full feeling in your stomach that feels uncomfortable at the same time. There might be a burning or painful feeling in the upper parts of your stomach as well.
Sometimes, indigestion appears as the sign of another, deeper, more serious issue, so if you are frequently experiencing indigestion, you need to get it checked out.
Common Symptoms of Indigestion
Some of the other common symptoms include bloating, gas, nausea, belly pain and vomiting. You also got to watch out for heartburn, which frequently comes hand-in-hand with indigestion and is not pleasant at all.
You should avoid fatty foods if you are prone to indigestion as this will make the problem worse.
Other Causes of Indigestion
Drinking alcohol and smoking causes irritation to the stomach, which will in turn trigger indigestion.
Now, let’s look at the main cause of indigestion.
