Studies have shown that maintaining a healthy weight can often aid to reduce heartburn. According to the Mayo Clinic Staff "Excess pounds put pressure on your abdomen, pushing your stomach and causing acid to back up into your esophagus." Its always advised that you ask your doctor to help you in creating a weight loss regimen that best suites you and your body. Smoking also plays a part in acid reflux problems. It is advised to quit smoking!
