    How I Overcame Acid Reflux: Personal Insights and Simple Exercises for Relief

    My Personal Journey

    Hi folks, it’s been a while since I last wrote on my blog. I’ve been eyeing a topic of interest to me and thought it might help somebody. I have found an interesting article on managing my acid reflux—a Simple Exercise to Strengthen the Lower Esophageal Sphincter and Eliminate Gastroesophageal Reflux: An Autobiographical Case Report. I reached out to Eric Karrfalt to see if he could provide a picture of the setup. However, he never got back to me. Anyway, I practiced the setup for about a year, and I did notice my acid reflux going away.

    Meanwhile, I visited the ENT a few times, and he noted that my inflammation had subsided. I’m not a medical professional, and it’s a personal account of how I worked on my well-being. Please consult a medical professional before attempting the steps outlined below.

    How I Solved Acid Reflux?

    After carefully reviewing the autobiographical case report, I realized that it’s about resistance training, specifically for the esophageal tube connecting to the stomach. The idea is to keep the head below my stomach in a kneeling posture. (I’ll have a diagram below) Then kneel on a platform while eating your meal. My favorite time is during breakfast because I set myself up with Oatmeal.

    I curated a list of my top ingredients for Oatmeal

    While visiting my ENT, he recommended I use mint chocolate rescue after eating to prevent acid from coming up. I tried both techniques together and saw restorative results. If you found the experience helpful, let me know if it helped you feel better throughout the day.

    ✨The Village Of Cantor

    I needed to create a concept with no background in the idea. I spoke out loud during a presentation at a meetup event. I realized I was lowering my standard by not writing a concept short for the illustration I was to draw.

    Below, I left you the concept write-up and a YouTube short. The video is 30 seconds long, and the reading is exciting, but I’ll let you be the judge of that.

    Village Of Cantor

    Once upon a time, a boy appeared in a scene where he ended up in front of a broken-up walled castle. He flew in via Crayaw—a distinct creation found in the depths of Zupa. 

    Upon first sight of his landing, he noted a view of the castle from a hill. He saw farmland being worked by the village people of Cantor. The village mainly smelled of horses and pigs. He thought to himself as his stomach became hungry. He should come down and explore the estate. 

    While approaching the castle gates, he is greeted by two large guards holding spears of light. He comes closer with his hands open so as not to alarm the guards but to show loving-kindness and safe passage. 

    ~ The End

    The Village of Zupa in the Cantor region was brought to you by the Imaginative Illustrators of NYC. We are an artistic bunch meeting over Zoom to create art pieces while chit-chatting.

    20 Ways to give a compliment on dating apps.

    I have been dating around for a while now on good old Match, Bumble, and Boo. Then realized I had created a library of greetings for the not-so-faint of heart. Not so far out, it had occurred to me that I could share these out, perhaps with passionate word-smith hands. The words would soothe a gentle soul.

    Meanwhile, the following question has stumbled upon my mind. What does the usefulness of a lets connect vs. let’s connect for a good old blunt?

    Sugarbush 2018 & Massive Snowstorm & Ski Trip

    Up above, a massive snowstorm Sugarbush 2018, is coming to the northeast, and I’m getting ready to ski in Sugarbush. Im trying something new today, it will be messy.

    Massive Snowstorm Sugarbush 2018

    Earlier Uber prices surge because of an accident on the highway caused diversions. I waited a bit while watching YouTube, but then I realized I might be late. So I hurried downstairs. I grabbed my light bag and skis, put on my giant boot bag and called the elevator. After a quick breath, I hailed for a Uber and waited for it to show.

    On my way to Fresh to Go in a warm Honda accord. I got an Uber pool, traffic is terrible, so I got the Uber to myself. We are driving up ocean parkway because of traffic conditions. Earlier, I learned that the bus is 30 mins late, so that means that I will get less sleep for Saturday. From fresh to go, it will take about 6:30 – 7 hours to drive or four days if I walk.

    Before getting to Starbucks

    Earlier, I was packing for my ski trip. If it weren’t for my reusable ski packing list, I would have forgotten my ski undies. Getting out of the car, I realized its impossible to stand outside. Snow and sleet are pouring out; I decided to pop into Starbucks and see if my ski mates are there. To my surprise, I was the only one. Okay, it didn’t take too long till i wasn’t just me. In fact, i found myself playing a card game called Love Letter.
