Possible causes of heartburn
There can be different reasons for stomach acid flowing back into the esophagus:
• The stomach produces too much stomach acid: The rising stomach acid can attack the lining of the esophagus unhindered.
• Weakening of the esophageal sphincter: Usually the sphincter prevents acidic stomach contents from rising towards the esophagus. If it is weakened, the stomach acid has a free way to the top.
• Reduced self-cleaning power of the esophagus: There are muscle cells in the wall of the esophagus which, through a wave-like movement (peristalsis), immediately transports stomach acid back down into the stomach. This self-cleaning function can be disturbed, so that acidic stomach contents can rise more easily.
• Diaphragmatic hernia: A diaphragmatic hernia can affect the function of the esophageal sphincter muscle. The "hiatus hernia" known in the technical jargon often occurs in older people (from around 50).

Occasional heartburn is usually harmless and can be combated with suitable over-the-counter drugs from the pharmacy, such as Maaloxan ^® . However, persistent heartburn should be examined by a doctor.

Heartburn Tips:
1. Eat several smaller meals a day than large, high-fat, high-sugar meals.
2. In the evening you should eat less in terms of quantity, rather switch to light food and not eat too late.
3. Take the time to eat, sit down, chew slowly, and set aside anything that might distract you.
4. Avoid acid looseners, such as spicy, heavily fried and high-fat foods, smoked foods, tomatoes, coffee, cola, and sweets. Alcohol and nicotine can also promote heartburn.
5. Avoid constant stress. Try to take breaks, introduce relaxing rituals and, most importantly, enjoy free time. No matter what you do, it is important that you can switch off and not be under constant power!
6. Elevate the upper body at night to avoid heartburn at night. This usually occurs after a late, large meal.
7. Get regular exercise or exercise. Being overweight can lead to heartburn.
