Today's Health Tip
Heartburn & GERD
If you have heartburn or GERD, don't eat within two to three hours before bed. Lying down with a full stomach can cause stomach contents to press harder against the lower esophageal sphincter, increasing the chances of refluxed food. In addition, try to sleep with your head slightly elevated.
