Suffering from acid reflux? Here's what you can do Heartburn is a painful, burning feeling in the middle of your chest. It's not really in your heart, though. It's caused by stomach acid rising into your oesophagus (reflux), which runs through your chest, close to your heart. Heartburn is an occasional symptom for many people and a chronic condition for others, occurring frequently. When it's chronic, you might have GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). When related to GERD, heartburn occurs when stomach juices, including acids and enzymes, backwash into your oesophagus. Your stomach has a thick mucous lining that protects it from these substances, but your oesophagus doesn't. A valve at the bottom of your oesophagus called the lower oesophagal sphincter is supposed to keep stomach contents from coming back up. But sometimes it's weak or doesn't close all the way. Acid reflux that causes heartburn may also indicate other hidden problems in your digestive...

Does intermittent fasting help you lose weight? Early hunter-gatherers faced long periods of fasting. Their access to food relied on successful hunting, fishing, and the availability of wild plants. Over time, the development of modern agriculture and the transition to industrialised societies changed our regular eating patterns, shifting our dinner time to later in the day to accommodate work schedules. Today, with access to an abundance of food, we rarely experience prolonged periods of fasting, except for weight loss or religious practices. It's now common to have four or more meals a day, with the most calories consumed later in the day. Frequent snacking is also common, over a window of around 15 hours. However, research increasingly shows our health is not only affected by what and how much we eat but also when we eat. So what does this mean for meal scheduling? And can intermittent fasting help? Our body clock controls more than our sleep Our internal biological timeke...
