Acid reflux, which can also be referred to as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is a common digestive issue that, if untreated, may cause discomfort and even damage to the esophagus.

It is characterized by symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and chest pain, and it is brought on when acid from the stomach flows back into the esophagus.

Acid reflux is a condition that may be managed with medication and by making changes to one's lifestyle. 44% of patients who experienced symptoms of acid reflux reported improvement after changing their diet in the right direction.

In today's video, we will explore 10 drinks and foods that can help stop acid reflux.

️ Summary:
Ginger Tea
Ginger possesses anti-inflammatory properties that may soothe the irritation of the esophagus caused by stomach acid, thus reducing the symptoms of acid reflux. Also, ginger tea may help the lower esophageal sphincter work properly by relaxing it. The LES is a muscle that stops stomach acid from flowing backwards into the esophagus.

Ginger may also be beneficial to digestion because it has the ability to increase the rate at which food moves through the digestive tract, thereby reducing the likelihood of acid buildup.


Oatmeal
The pH of oatmeal is 7, which indicates that it does not have any acidic properties at all. By lowering the pH of the stomach's contents, foods that are not acidic may alleviate the symptoms of acid reflux disease.

Green Vegetables
Since the majority of green vegetables have a low acid content, it is less likely that eating them will cause acid reflux symptoms or make existing ones worse. They are generally considered alkaline-forming foods, which may help neutralize stomach acid.

Aloe Vera Juice
Aloe vera is known for its ability to promote tissue healing and repair. Some proponents believe that it may help heal and soothe the damaged lining of the esophagus, which may occur as a result of chronic acid reflux.

Melons
Melons like watermelon and cantaloupe have a high pH, making them less acidic. The burning sensation that is associated with acid reflux may be alleviated and the esophagus may be made more comfortable as a result.

Moreover, melons have a high water content, which may help dilute stomach acid and reduce its irritant effect on the esophageal lining, as staying hydrated is essential for digestive health.

Almonds
Almonds are considered to be alkaline-forming foods, which means that they have a naturally alkalizing effect on the digestive tract. This may assist in neutralizing excess stomach acid, thereby reducing the likelihood of experiencing acid reflux.

In comparison to saturated fats, monounsaturated fats are less likely to relax the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). A relaxed LES may allow stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus, causing reflux. Studies say that due to the high monounsaturated fat content of almonds, eating them is an effective method for preventing the flow of stomach acid in the opposite direction.

Kefir
Kefir is a fermented milk drink that is tangy and creamy in texture. It is made by using kefir grains, which contain nearly 61 different species of bacteria. These powerful microorganisms may help treat and prevent gastrointestinal diseases like irritable bowel syndrome, possibly improving acid reflux conditions.
on-Citrus Fruits

Non-citrus fruits, such as bananas, apples, and pears, tend to be less acidic than citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits. High-acid foods may trigger or worsen acid reflux symptoms, so choosing lower-acid fruits may reduce the likelihood of irritation to the esophagus.
