Dr. Su Sachar, MD
Gastroenterologist Dr. Su Sachar, MD discusses causes and remedies for heartburn. She explains that this pain and discomfort is caused by acid in the stomach splashing back up to the esophagus. Common triggers include coffee, alcohol, citrus fruits, tea, anything tomato based, caffeine, carbonated beverages, peppermint, smoking, weight gain, and pregnancy. Wearing tight clothing can even contribute. To treat heartburn symptoms, first try over-the-counter remedies such as baking soda (unless you have blood pressure issues), apple cider vinegar, or aloe vera. If that doesn't work, give antacids (Mylanta or Tums) or histamine blockers (Pepcid, Zantac, Prilosec, or Prevacid) a try. As a last resort, take stronger proton pump inhibitors. If symptoms persist for two weeks after trying these above remedies, Dr. Su Sachar advises you to consult your personal physician.

Mark's DIY Glass Bottle Hummingbird Feeders
Mark shares some interesting hummingbird trivia before demonstrating how to build a feeder using a glass bottle and a cork feeder tube, which can be purchased inexpensively at a specialty gardening store. Before committing to hanging this in your yard, please keep in mind that hummingbirds will return, so make sure you continue to fill it with fresh, clean sugar water. Sugar water will grow mold and yeast, so it is essential to keep it fresh. The hotter the temperature outside, the more often you'll have to change the water. Mark suggests putting the date on a popsicle stick as a reminder.
