EricaBitBoat commented, "Abraham I have acid reflux please make a video
on treatments and home remedies!". Well what we waiting for hit that like button if you're
fired up for this and let's go now to understand the acid reflux treatments
you first got to understand why it actually happens so let me show you
okay so this is going to make acid reflux so easy to understand so you need to use a bit
of imagination now the bottle is your food pipe okay the balloon is your stomach and the black
tape is your lower esophageal sphincter okay which is a muscular valve which only lets food
and liquids in one way I eat into the stomach what it shouldn't do is allow food and liquids
to go back up the stomach into the food pipe so this basically means that when this valve doesn't
close tight enough and you're moving around you've had a massive meal your stomach is churning like
this and the acid is shooting up into your food pipe which causes an acid reflux symptoms that
we all know so well so let me teach you how to treat acid reflux so let's dive straight
into tip number one adjust your diet this is one of the most effective ways to manage your
acid reflux so what does this mean exactly because everyone says this sort of stuff well you need to
avoid certain foods and drinks that are going to make your acid reflux worse so for example
spicy foods you need to avoid them caffeine and alcohol you need to try and avoid them
also acidic foods like certain fruits citrus fruit for example or salad dressings you need to avoid
them too so instead opt for high fiber foods like whole grains fruit and vegetables also try not to
have massive meals try to have smaller meals little and often it's going to put less stress
and less pressure on the stomach which is going to cause that acid to come up so next up let me tell
you about our sponsor brioski this fast acting digestive Aid has been part of Italian homes
for over 100 years and it's now reached the U.S and Canada to learn more about rioski today I'm
going to leave a link to the Amazon page in the description below diving straight into tip number
two we all like wearing nice fitting tight clothes okay but if you're someone who suffers from acid
reflux okay especially if you're wearing tight clothes around the waist area basically all that
pressure is going to go on the stomach and that acid is going to travel up the food pipe causing
those acid reflux symptoms in addition to this as well if you are overweight again that's going
to put more pressure on there and it's going to push up that acid so if you are overweight you
could potentially consider trying to lose some weight so if you are overweight and you want to
try and lose a bit of weight then definitely do try the Abraham diet it's my own diet it's helped
over 25 million people around the world and it can help you lose up to 0.5 to 1 kilograms
every single week and up to five centimeters off the waistline okay I'm diving straight into tip
number three strengthen your esophageal sphincter look the stronger your esophageal sphincter the
less likely that acid is going to go up into your food pipe causing acid reflux symptoms so
if you do smoke if you drink lots of alcohol so more than 14 units per week if you have lots of
caffeine so for example more than three to four cups of coffee a day or lots of energy drinks
then you need to cut down or stop entirely to help with acid reflux and don't worry because
I've got you if you need help up with stopping smoking I've got a great video on it which I'll
leave a link up here and in the description below also with reducing caffeine reducing alcohol I'm
gonna leave some great links in the description below as well I'm moving swiftly onto tip number
four raise your bed probably one of the easiest and fastest things that you can do to help with
acid reflux if it's worse when lying down because this is what's happening when you're lying down
basically gravity is not helping us we're going to raise one side of the bed by about 10 to 20
centimeters so prop it up from the legs on the one side if you can't do that you can also prop
yourself up so your head and chest are above your waist okay that's all you need to do easy as that
