Goodbye Acid Reflux

Tomorrow will be two weeks since I got back on the wagon (or is it off the wagon?). I used to do OMAD but it was hard a lot of the time, so this time I decided to take it easy with an 18:6 approach. Anyways, the last couple months I was really struggling with acid reflux. I was routinely waking up in the middle of the night with horrendous coughs from aspirating reflux. Propping myself up in bed only helped so much. Omeprazole helped but wasn't enough. I should have been going to see my doctor, especially since I know this stuff runs in my family...I just really didn't want to.So like I said, tomorrow will be the start of week 3 and it occurred to me I haven't woken up in the middle of the night since I started IF again. I'm sleeping so much better than before too! After realizing this I looked it up and IF is known to significantly reduce acid reflux since it gives your digestive system regular breaks during the day. Yes, I needed the structure around my eating habits. Yes, I'm looking forward to shaving off a few pounds/inches. But if for nothing else, I'll stick with this just for the better sleep quality and relief to my esophagus!Cheers everyone! via /r/intermittentfasting https://ift.tt/s21yIfH https://ift.tt/GpR7HgT
