\"#1Almost everyone experiences acid reflux once in a while. But for some it\u2019s a lifelong, agonizing suffering.<\/p>\n

This may be changing.<\/p>\n

Because the Journal of Population Therapeutics and Clinical Pharmacology<\/em> has just published a study revealing the number one cause of acid reflux\/GERD and a simple way to improve it.<\/p>\n

This research involved 185 participants, all diagnosed with acid reflux.<\/p>\n

The participants were fairly diverse. 48.65% were male and 51.35% were female. Their ages ranged from 18 to over 61 years old. Most belonged to the middle class (40.54%), with the remainder split between low and high-income backgrounds.<\/p>\n

The scientists wanted to shed light on how body mass index scores affect GERD symptom severity. Accordingly, the participants were categorized based on the World Health Organization’s BMI classifications: underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese. BMI was calculated using the standard formula (weight in kg divided by height in meters squared).<\/p>\n

The researchers assessed the intensity and frequency of GERD symptoms using validated questionnaires, and also collected their participants detailed medical histories.<\/p>\n

This is what they discovered.<\/p>\n

\n
\n1.\tA high number of the acid reflux patients were overweight (40.54%) or obese (29.73%), suggesting that excessive body weight might contribute to the development of acid reflux.<\/p>\n

2.\tThere was a clear relationship between increased BMI and heightened acid reflux severity.<\/p>\n

3.\tOnly 4.4% of patients with a normal BMI experienced severe GERD symptoms. In contrast, 38.7% of overweight and 23.6% of obese patients reported severe symptoms.<\/p>\n

4.\tCommon health conditions among patients were high blood pressure, diabetes, gastrointestinal issues, asthma, and cardiovascular disease.\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

The clear association between higher BMI and more severe GERD symptoms underscores the importance of weight management in treating acid reflux.<\/p>\n

One could even argue that losing weight is the most effective way to reduce acid reflux\/GERD.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there is a simpler way to eliminate acid reflux\/GERD permanently. In fact you can do it in as little as five minutes using the simple approach explained here\u2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
