How to reduce Heartburn


The first thing to check, if you suffer from heartburn, is your diet. Pay good attention to what you consume.

1. Another factor that is responsible for heartburn is stress. Try and meditate for a few minutes daily.

2. Spicy foods and sweet treats and even some tomato-based products can give you heartburn, so avoid eating them.

3. Include ginger in your diet — it could be in any form. Ginger is known to be a good digestive and is a good cure for heartburn.

4. Following a diet that is rich in green leafy vegetables is also a good idea.

5. Avoid drinks that can trigger reflux, such as alcohol, caffeinated drinks like coffee and carbonated drinks like colas.

6. Eat smaller and more frequent meals. A full stomach can put additional pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter, which will increase the chance of some of this food refluxing into the esophagus.

7. Elevate your head a few inches while you sleep. Lying down flat presses the stomach's contents and can cause heartburn. With the head higher than the stomach, gravity helps reduce the pressure.

Sachin top taxpayer among Men in Blue


There has been much talk of late about M S Dhoni being more sought after by advertisers than Sachin Tendulkar.

But if payment of income tax is any indicator, the little master is still way ahead of all other Indian cricket stars when it comes to earnings. Dhoni is a distant second, though catching up, in terms of tax paid, while Virender Sehwag is third.

Data on income tax paid by cricketers shows that Sachin has maintained a steady level of over Rs 8 crore for the last three years, 2006-07 to 2008-09. Behind him, there's been a reshuffle in the batting order.

Dhoni has moved up from third spot in 2006-07 to second last year with a Rs 4.7 crore tax bill. Rahul Dravid, who was Sachin's closest competitor in 2006-07 and a close third behind Dhoni in 2007-08, has dropped to fifth spot.
