Abdominal obesity can aggravate gastric reflux problems. That’s why dieting is recommended if you are overweight. The gastroesophageal reflux menus offered by SOSCuisine are offered in 2 calorie levels: 1,600 kcal/day or 2,000 kcal/day, to help you lose weight.

Also exercise at moderate intensity at least three times a week. To motivate yourself, read:
