What happens in the body when you have heartburn?

Inside our body, the stomach is separated from the esophagus by a sphincter (the lower esophageal sphincter). Its function is to prevent the reflux of stomach acid after eating. If this sphincter mechanism is disrupted or weakened, acidic gastric juice can rise into the esophagus.

The problem is that stomach acid is designed to break down food. However, the esophagus isn't designed to withstand this strong acid. Even small amounts can trigger inflammation, which is perceived as the typical burning sensation.

Why does this mechanism fail?

There are many reasons why the sphincter does not function optimally or why stomach acid takes over:

• Stress: Constant stress activates the sympathetic nervous system. The result: The digestive tract becomes disrupted, muscle tone changes, and the sphincter can also suffer.
• Nutrition: Certain foods such as sugar, coffee, fatty foods or alcohol increase acid production or relax the sphincter.
• Lack of exercise & posture: Sitting for long periods, bending over, or lying down immediately after eating can increase the risk of reflux.
• Hormonal changes (e.g. during pregnancy) or Overweight exert mechanical pressure on the stomach.
• Medications or nicotine can also influence muscle tension.

The interaction between nerves, muscles and chemical impulses becomes unbalanced and the body reacts.

What to do about heartburn?

Your path begins with understanding. Most approaches aim for short-term symptom control. But true relief begins deeper – where the causes arise: in the nervous system, in cellular regulation, and in the way our body reacts to impulses.

First impulses in everyday life:

• Sit or walk more upright after eating – never lie down immediately
• Stress reduction through breathing exercises, breaks, conscious rituals
• Alkaline meals prefer, integrate bitter substances
• Low-sugar and low-fat diet
• Easily digestible dinners, preferably 3 hours before going to bed

And: Pay attention to your gut feeling—in the truest sense. Because what your body tells you is often an invitation to change.
