Make sure you do not eat during the three<br />
hours prior to getting into bed. So eating<br />
at 8 if you go to bed at 11 can help you<br />
avoid acid reflux. If you lay down and your<br />
stomach is full, your LES muscle will have<br />
more pressure on it. Thus, you will likely<br />
experience an acid reflux flare.<br />

OBSERVE PROPER POSTURE<br />
AWAKE OR ASLEEP<br />
Always remain in an upright position<br />
while eating and in the two to three<br />
hours following each meal. When you<br />
recline, you are more prone to acid reflux<br />
flareups. Your esophagus will feel much<br />
better when you get up on your feet.<br />
Don’t recline post-meal. The thinking<br />
here is that gravity’s your best bet in<br />
avoiding acid reflux. Based on your body<br />
and what you’ve eaten, you may need<br />
to wait longer before you can recline.<br />
Is nighttime heartburn an issue for you?<br />
If so, think about your sleeping positions.<br />

side. Doing this will keep your stomach<br />
acids where they belong.<br />
Anxiety can bring negativity in a person’s life, but this can be dealt with in a healthy way. Here are some tips<br />
on how you can properly deal with it.<br />

LEAD A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE<br />
Stop smoking! Smoking causes and<br />
worsens acid reflux symptoms. It slows<br />
digestion and increases stomach acids. It<br />
also slows down the production of saliva.<br />
Finally, your esophageal sphincter is<br />
weakened. That’s why you should quit today.<br />
Refrain from drinking alcohol, which<br />
can irritate your stomach lining. Besides<br />
causing acid to begin to build up<br />
and eat away at your stomach lining,<br />
alcohol worsens acid reflux. Whenever<br />
you go out with your friends, be sure<br />
to keep your drinking under control<br />
so that you won’t feel sick afterward.<br />
Shed excess pounds to decrease the impact<br />
of acid reflux. Obesity is one major cause<br />
of acid reflux occurring. Losing just 10<br />
percent of how much you weigh can reduce<br />
the occurrence of acid reflux. Don’t be silly<br />
with excessive dieting schemes, instead<br />
reduce the size of your meal portions.<br />
