Helpful Ways to  prevent acid reflux What is acid reflux At the entrance to your stomach is a valve, which is a ring of muscle called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Normally, the LES closes as soon as food passes through it. If the LES doesn't close all the way or if it opens too often, acid produced by your stomach can move up into your esophagus. This can cause symptoms such as a burning chest pain called heartburn. If acid reflux symptoms happen more than twice a week, you have acid reflux disease, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease. The stomach contains a strong acid, hydrochloric acid, to help with the efficient digestion of food and to protect against undesirable microbes such as bacteria. The lining of the stomach is specially adapted to produce this acid, and also to protect the digestive organ against its own corrosive secretion, but the higher gut is not protected from this acid.

What causes dark spots on the skin? What are Acne scars or  " dark spots" Acne Scars Acne scars occur when normal tissue in the skin is destroyed and replaced with  fibrous tissue.  You can think of an acne lesion or a wound. When the damage caused by acne is severe, the body can respond by creating  too much tissue or too little tissue.  The production of too much tissue forms a keloid or a hypertrophic scar,  and too little tissue leads to that depression in the skin, or atrophic scar. The deeper and more inflamed the acne lesion, or the more that it is picked  or squeezed, it's more  likely to scar. The reason behind dark spots Some acne marks and scars are completely within your control  while others  are pre-determined.  "People with deeper skin tones may develop darker marks or hyperpigmentation, while people with lighter skin tones may notice redness.  A si...

The hardest part of the human body  teeth mostly consist of a calcified tissue called  dentine.  The tooth's dentine tissue is covered in enamel, that  hard,  shiny layer that you brush. The exterior of bones consists of periosteum, a dense, smooth, slippery  membrane that lines the outer surface ofmost bones , except at the joints of  long bones, which instead consist of slimy hyaline cartilage.  Periosteum contains osteoblasts, or cells that can manufacture new bone  growth and repair. What causes teeth to decay? If teeth are not properly cleaned, a mixture of bacteria and food, called plaque,  builds up on them.  As the bacteria feed on the sugary food debris,  they produce an acid that dissolves the calcium min...

How to improve your digestive system? What is the digestive system? The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract— also called the digestive tract— and the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.  The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus.  The hollow organs that make up the GI tract are the mouth,  esophagus, stomach, small intestine,  large intestine—which includes the rectum—and anus.  Food enters the mouth and passes to the anus through the hollow organs of the GI tract. The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are the solid organs of the  digestive system. The digestive system helps the body digest food. Bacteria in the GI tract, also called gut flora or microbiome, help with digestion.  Parts of the nervous and circulatory systems also play roles in the digestive process.  Together, a combination of nerves, ...
