2. Avoid drinking anything during a meal
Say what? You’re telling me to drink a lot of water, but I can’t drink while I’m eating? Not exactly.
You don’t have to completely abstain, but while you're eating you should limit how much you drink to no more than 2-4 ounces. When we drink anything while we’re eating, it dilutes our digestive juices, and makes it much more difficult for our body to digest the food we’re eating, causing acid reflux and indigestion. Many people with acid reflux could solve most or all of their issues by doing this one FREE thing! I suggested this to a friend who was suffering terribly with GERD, and it changed her life!!! She’s not having to constantly take antacids, and she can sleep at night without any reflux.
Solution: Drink a big glass 20 minutes before your meal and a big glass 20 minutes after a meal, but limit yourself while you’re eating.

There are simple things you can include in your everyday life that will boost your health, are gentle to your body and mind, and are completely free.
