More Reflux Tips

Do you eat at your desk and then suffer with reflux?

Digestion starts in the brain and is controlled by our parasympathetic nervous system. There are two parts to this nervous system – fight or flight and rest and digest. When one is active the other is switched off. Eating while working especially when stressed can mean that the digestive process is affected.

If you get reflux frequently and often eat on the go or when stressed then start to take time out to eat in a more relaxed location and switch off from technology (and yes that means stop scrolling here too – you can come back when you finish). Your digestive system will thank you and you will notice your reflux may improve.

It’s Acid Reflux Awareness week!

Did you know that acid reflux occurs when your stomach contents flow back into the oesophagus. This is not necessarily due to their being too much acid but can be due to an issue with the Lower Oesophageal Sphincter (LES).

This ring of muscle at the base of the oesophagus opens to allow the foods we swallow to enter the stomach and should close to keep the stomach contents until we next swallow. This muscle can be damaged as seen with a hiatus hernia but can also be affected by diet and lifestyle too.

Foods like chocolate and coffee and alcohol all cause the muscle to relax making it easier for reflux to occur. Avoiding these foods especially close to bedtime can help reduce your reflux symptoms.

Persistent heartburn, indigestion and reflux lasting 3 weeks or more can increase the risk of Barrett’s Oesophagus and Oesophageal cancer. If you have prolonged symptoms it is important to get it checked by your GP.

There are many factors involved in acid reflux and the most important thing is to be aware of your triggers, minimise episodes and protect the oesophagus from damage. Over the next few days I will be sharing some simple tips and advice to help you manage it better.

Did you know the Nutrition Room has a tanita body scale. This is a body composition scale, that gives you reading on such things as visceral fat, bone mass, muscle mass, body water and metabolic age and more. The use of this scale is available to all clients that attend the Nutrition Room.
However, should you only be interested in getting a reading and having a Nutrition conversation. You can arrange to get a reading by texting 07504 862546.
The cost of the reading and a chat about your nutrition goals is £30.00. This will enable to chat through your goals for up to 30 minutes. Should you then wish to engage with the Nutrition Room for a consultation package, you can do so and receive £30.00 off the package price.
This is ideal for those with a interest in a healthy diet. Should you have any specific health goals/ conditions.I recommended the consultation package
