Salt
Eating too much salty food and salt would stimulate reflux, which is a major risk factor for acid reflux. Some studies have shown that those people who often add salt to their diet have a 70 percent higher risk than those who do not. Nevertheless, it is not totally obvious how salt consumption would lead to this health issue. A possible reason is that people consuming salty foods tend to eat more fatty and fried foods as well. This combination can significantly increase the risk of having acid reflux. [7]
