4. Remove carbonation
If you want to try and stay hydrated using one of your favorite brands of fizzy pop, no one is saying you can’t. As mentioned above, the little luxuries we allow ourselves at our lowest points can be the catalyst to kick-starting a recovery. The thing to bear in mind here is the bubbles. The carbonation in our favorite beverages causes us to burp. It’s an unavoidable truth.
Some people love to revel in the full glory of a deep belly belch, whilst others prefer to sneak one out behind their hand, but one thing is for sure, everyday burps. Did REM sing that? Anyway, one way of enjoying your favorite drink and cutting down on the acid reflux of a burp is to remove the carbonation. You can buy expensive machines for this, that work like soda streams in reverse, or you could opt for the free option. This option requires you to leave the cap twisted ever slightly too loose. Cheaper and just as effective if you can stomach flat Coke.
