Reflux is also known as heartburn, acid indigestion.
Reflux is a digestive problem that many people face. There are many things you should pay attention to prevent reflux. One of them is to pay attention to your diet.
Some foods that are consumed fondly can cause reflux. Here are the foods that people with reflux should definitely stay away from:
Citrus fruits
Citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, tangerines, limes and grapefruit) are more likely to trigger acid reflux symptoms.
The acid in citrus fruits will trigger reflux symptoms because it relaxes the esophagus and worsens symptoms.
Citrus fruits also contain more acid than other fruits, which increases reflux symptoms for most people.
Chocolate
Eating chocolate can cause an increase in serotonin, the hormone of happiness. However, chocolate that gives us happiness can damage our stomach and trigger reflux.
Chocolate loosens the valves between the stomach and esophagus. Thus, it causes acid to spread quickly. Chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine, which can increase reflux symptoms.
Caffeinated drinks
Caffeine is a natural stimulant most commonly found in coffee, tea, soft drinks and energy drinks. Caffeine works by stimulating the brain and central nervous system. This helps you stay awake and prevent fatigue.
However, caffeinated drinks can aggravate acid reflux. Caffeine can also cause negative side effects in some people, such as anxiety, restlessness and sleep problems.
Fried and fatty foods
Fried and fatty foods cause heartburn. These foods prevent the lower esophageal sphincter from fully contracting, leading to reflux. Fatty, heavy foods are harder to digest. Thus, the stomach empties more slowly, which triggers heartburn.
