U.S. researchers have linked gastroesophageal reflux disease to obesity after reviewing the results that came out of the 20 studies conducted earlier. Telling out the reason behind this association of gastroesophageal reflux and obesity study, author Dr. Douglas Corley of Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, Calif., and with the division of gastroenterology at the University of California-San Francisco said that because acid reflux is strongly associated with more serious conditions- such as esophageal ulcers and cancer therefore, weight reduction therapy may prove beneficial in staving off such conditions.
It is quite interesting to know that studies conducted earlier have also proved that obesity is linked to gastroesophageal reflux disease and once again this new study has proved this. Here one thing clearly peeps out that obesity is the mother of several other health related problems and the best way to keep them is regular exercise and controlled diet.
