Gastroesophageal reflux is a recurrent chronic disease with a long course, so it is very important to prevent the recurrence of gastroesophageal reflux disease and strengthen the self-care of patients who have suffered from it. Preventing the recurrence of this disease and changing lifestyle are the best ways to prevent gastric acid reflux and heartburn.

Diet: Try to eat less high-fat meals, such as chocolate, coffee, candy, sweet potato, potato and taro. Strictly quit smoking and drinking, eat less and eat more meals, and don't lie down immediately after meals. It takes 20-30 minutes to fall asleep. It should be noted that after-dinner activities should be supplemented by a small amount of exercise (such as walking) to avoid activities that increase abdominal pressure and aggravate reflux. Don't eat 2-3 hours before going to bed. Chewing some gum at ordinary times can increase saliva secretion, improve esophageal clearance rate and protect esophageal mucosa from inflammation.

Brown sugar can promote gastric acid secretion, and people with gastroesophageal reflux can aggravate gastric acid symptoms by drinking brown sugar, so they can't drink it.
