What is Acid Reflux?

Acid reflux is a disease that causes acid in the stomach to flow back into the food pipe of our body. The acid causes irritation in the food pipe.

Acid Reflux Disease – The Truth About Heartburn

It is the coincidence of two medical conditions that causes acid reflux disease, or GERD – gastro-esophageal reflux disease, as it is known. The backward flow of food and acid from the stomach to the esophagus is the first condition contributing to acid reflux disease. Nonetheless, the reflux can happen in healthy individuals as well, when it is referred to as "physiologic gastroesophageal reflux" and does not always result in symptoms of acid reflux disease or changes in the organic tissues.

The second factor encouraging acid reflux is a malfunction of the LES, the lower esophageal sphincter. The LES is a circle of muscle acting as a valve between the esophagus and the stomach, measuring 3-4 cm, some two to three times thicker than the proximal esophagus. In cases of acid reflux disease, the stomach contents is pushed back into the esophagus because the LES does not shut properly. This is then called acid reflux disease, when symptoms of the disease then follow.

What is the best sports bra for women? Where to buy a good sports bra? How to buy a sports bra? You can view this article fully if you have these questions.

3 tips to find your fit before buy a sports bra:

Band: Should be slightly more snug than a lingerie bra. Make sure you can comfortably take a deep breath with the bra fastened on the middle hook. Be sure the band doesn’t ride up in the back. If it does, the band may be too loose and/or the straps need to be adjusted.

Cups: Adjust your breasts for a proper fit. They should be completely held within the cups without overflowing. Fabric should be smooth. Wrinkles or puckers indicate the cup is too big. Underwire should sit on your ribcage below the breast tissue and follow your natural shape.

Straps: Should offer minimal stretch to reduce up-and-down breast movement. Wider straps will disperse the weight and feel more comfortable. Straps should not dig in or slide off your shoulders. Adjustable straps offer a more custom fit.
