Does quitting smoking really improve gastrointestinal health?

Smoking is a major cause that weakens the lower esophageal sphincter.

흡연은 백해무익하지만, 특히 역류성 식도염 환자에게는 가장 강력한 악화 요인 중 하나입니다.

  • 니코틴: 하부식도괄약근의 압력을 떨어뜨려 조임 기능을 마비시킴
  • 침 분비 감소: 위산을 중화시키는 침을 마르게 함
  • 기침: 흡연으로 인한 기침이 복압을 높여 역류 유발
🚭 금연 효과

금연 후 몇 주만 지나도 속 쓰림 증상이 현저히 개선됩니다.
