Our website has numerous articles on the Water & Chewing aspects which are two of the most underrated essentials for the Human Body.

Note:
The valve between the stomach and the esophagus (the tube that connects the stomach to your mouth) becomes weak and allows stomach acid to flow upward. This can cause irritation to the lining of the esophagus. Sometimes the damage to the lining is called erosive esophagitis or esophagitis. Complications include esophagitis, strictures and Barrett’s esophagus.
