1.Vigorous physical activity will stir up acid in the stomach and cause it to spill into the esophagus.This does not mean don't work out,it does mean it must take precautions.
2. Lower impact activities such as yoga,biking, swimming,etc.
3. High BMI impact (body mass index) runs higher risk of developing acid reflux symptoms during a work out.People with a high BMI should start a physical exercise program to reduce their weight,but should start with lower-intensity activities to lessen the risk of acid reflux symptoms.
4. Acid Reflux symptoms can be triggered by large meals.So,it stands to reason that large meals(or even medium-sized meals)before exercise will most likely result in acid reflux.Must eat before a workout,make it a small snack rather than a full meal.
5.No to large,drinking plain,old water during exercise is a much better option for people with reflux.Water will naturally cleanse the esophagus and may even help relieve symptoms if they do arise.
6. To avoid acid reflux during exercise it must find a way to avoid acid reflux at rest.Be as detailed as possible about the exercise regimen and the severity of the reflux symptoms.
7. A good way to determine develop a workout routine free from acid reflux is to take note (literally)of how different workouts and medications affect.
8. Be prepared to adjust the workouts as reflux symptoms present themselves.Be prepared to work with the doctor to find an alternate way to work out.
9. Once it is found a workout routine that provides the physical activity it needs without aggravating the reflux symptoms,stay with it. People with a high body mass index tend to experience worsened acid reflux symptoms.
