Gastroesophageal reflux disease belongs to the main reasons for consultation today,
resulting in a decrease in the quality of life of those who suffer from it; However, although
the first line of treatment is non-pharmacological interventions, the indiscriminate use
of medications prevails over modification in patients’ lifestyles. To carry out this work,
an updated state of the art was carried out regarding non-pharmacological interventions (lifestyle), with the purpose of generating a new perspective on how the patient’s
treatment should be initiated or optimized before reaching pharmacological therapy or
even as a great adjuvant to it; finding that multiple lifestyle factors influence the development of the disease, such as smoking, obesity, poor sleep hygiene, psychosocial
factors, in addition to others that, if intervened by the patient and medical personnel,
will have a positive impact on the development of the disease.
