Nigerian diet for acid reflux…
Acid reflux or gastro esophageal reflux disease is the backflow of stomach acid through a lax or weak lower esophageal sphincter back into the esophagus causing discomforting symptoms like heart burns, chest pains and even sometimes vomiting. Long standing untreated GERD can change the architecture and make up of the lower esophagus leading to cancer. So you can see how serious this is.
Depression seems to increase symptoms associated with GERD such as feeling restless, rapid heart rate and hyperventilation.
Treating GERD may require a combination of medications and lifestyle modifications like eating a healthy diet, avoiding foods that trigger acid reflux and getting regular exercise.
