Long term investment - a tool to hedge against the inflation

I guess nobody likes the inflation that affects our daily spending. Whenever you start to spend your money, you will feel the pain of the price hiking over the years. So to hedge against it, one of the ways is to buy the stock you use or consume. The historical data has proven that the stock price will increase over the years due to revenue and profit increases due to higher demand for the product or services. And why did the revenue and profit rise? The company needs to adjust the price due to the rising costs in raw materials, overhead, and transportation, etc. Therefore, hold the stock for a long term; you would be highly likely to benefit from it.
