Q What habits should I build to reduce reflux?
A Eating slowly and in small amounts, not lying down for 2-3 hours after meals, cutting down on late-night snacks, coffee, and alcohol, and managing weight are key. Small habit changes make as much difference as medication.
Detailed Answer
The most important thing is an eating habit that places little burden on the stomach. The basics are not eating a lot at once, not lying down right after eating, and reducing late-night snacks and irritating drinks. Abdominal obesity presses on the stomach and worsens reflux, so weight management also helps.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Lifestyle improvement and restoration of gastric function are most effective when they go together. While calming your stomach with Korean medicine and building manageable habits one by one, you can maintain a comfortable state for a long time without recurrence.
