Silent Reflux? Stop Eating These 5 "Healthy" Foods

Описание: Think you have allergies, post-nasal drip, or a constant “lump in your throat”? You might be dealing with Silent Reflux (LPR) — and the “healthy” foods in your diet could be secretly fueling it.
In this video, we break down 5 “healthy” foods that can quietly trigger Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR) by weakening the Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES) or reactivating Pepsin sitting in your throat. We’re not guessing — we’re looking at the actual mechanisms of action behind why peppermint tea, lemon water, tomatoes, dark chocolate, and even “good fats” might be keeping you stuck.

🧪 THE SCIENCE: LPR is different from standard GERD. It’s often caused by aerosolized acid (pepsin) embedding itself in your vocal cords and sinuses. Understanding the pH levels of your food is critical to stopping the activation of this enzyme.
