Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic recurring disease and maintaining a good lifestyle plays an important role in the recovery of the disease. So what should you pay attention to in your life? 1, diet Some foods and eating habits can exacerbate GERD, so GERD patients should adjust their diet, pay attention to the following points: (1) dietary components: reduce the amount of food and fat intake at each meal, and avoid eating chocolate, too acidic, too sweet food, etc. These foods can lower the lower esophageal sphincter. These foods can lower the resting pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter and make the stomach distended, thus increasing the frequency of reflux. The diet should be high in protein, high in fiber, low in fat, and if you can do it in small amounts with multiple meals, it is even better. (2) Beverages: such as coffee, strong tea, cola, citrus beverages, tomato juice, etc. can stimulate the secretion of gastric acid, or high osmotic pressure and produce reflux symptoms, should be minimized. (3) Do not eat before bedtime. Eating 2-3 hours before bedtime should be avoided to reduce the stimulation of gastric acid secretion by food, and also to prevent reflux of gastric contents when lying on the back. (4) Weight control. Overweight people should reduce their weight, obese people are prone to gastroesophageal reflux, and it has been proved that weight loss of 4.5-7kg can significantly reduce symptoms. Weight control, in addition to adhere to physical activity, is to control the amount of diet. 2, position and clothing requirements GERD patients after meals to keep upright for, sleep elevated head of the bed, or cushion the upper body, the head side of the foot of the bed elevated 15 ~ 20cm, because gravity can make the esophagus to the removal of acid to speed up, reduce the esophageal mucosa exposed to the time in the acid environment. Gastroesophageal reflux disease patients do not want to wear tight clothes, trouser pockets should not be too tight, avoid lifting heavy objects, especially after meals, do not bend over, try to avoid increased abdominal pressure. Increased abdominal pressure will aggravate reflux. 3.Drugs Some antispasmodic drugs such as atropine, 654-2, valium, some antihypertensive drugs, such as luohuixi, nifedipine, boidin and so on can make the esophagus contraction ability weakened, aggravate the symptoms of reflux. 4, quit smoking and drinking Smoking and excessive drinking can make the lower esophageal sphincter pressure decrease, weaken the esophagus to the acid removal force, prolong the esophageal mucosa exposed to the acidic environment time, but also directly affect the function of epithelial cells. Smoking not only increases gastroesophageal reflux, but also promotes pyloric sphincter insufficiency and duodenogastric reflux, increases the concentration of bile and hemolysed lecithin, and thus impedes the healing of esophagitis, so patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease shouldn’t smoke and drink alcohol.
