Lose Weight
Naturally, the diaphragm supports the lower esophageal sphincter and makes it strong. However, in overweight and obese people, the fat present in the abdomen will push the lower esophageal sphincter upward; this will eliminate or reduce the support of the diaphragm for the lower esophageal sphincter. To prevent the occurrence of this, it is advised that people do everything they can to maintain a healthy weight, and for people who are either obese or overweight, they should try to lose some weight.[10]
