Answer:

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Explanation:

"Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease" is a condition in the digestive system that is caused by the<em> backflow of acid coming from the stomach</em>. Such backflow reaches the esophagus, especially when the person is lying in bed. Thus, it is essential to <u>raise the head of the bed to a specific height</u><em> (at least 6-8 inches). </em>The person should be in an upright position to contradict gravity.

Aside from this, GERD may be prevented by<em> not smoking or drinking acidic drinks like orange juice, not eating before going to bed and exercising.</em>
