Esophagus: One-Way Transfer Only
- The esophagus is a tube that connects the throat to the stomach and is meant for one-way transfer of swallowed items.
- Acid reflux occurs when substances travel in the opposite direction, contrary to its intended function.
Addressing Acid Reflux: Beyond Medication Dependency
- Heartburn occurs when acid from the stomach travels in the wrong direction back up into the esophagus, causing injury and irritation.
- Proton pump inhibitors are commonly used to treat heartburn by reducing stomach acid, but long-term use can lead to dependency and potential health risks.
- Reducing dependency on medication and addressing the root of the problem through diet and lifestyle changes is crucial for improving acid reflux and overall health.
