[00:00:00]OH, OUR LUNCH IS READY. Easy does it, big guy. Save some room for later.

[00:00:05]>> It's okay, I just started. Keep sending.

[00:00:08]Ouch. Ouch, you're releasing acid. Don't you even realize it?

[00:00:12]>> I'm sorry, mate. Your acid [music] is burning my esophagus. I can't hold it, okay? Just eat less next time, all right? I promise, I will eat less. I got this.

[00:00:22]>> [music] >> You promised to eat less, but you still eat too much. You're burning me with [music] acid. When you overeat regularly, your stomach becomes too full. This puts pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter, [music] the valve between the stomach and esophagus. That valve can't close properly, so stomach acid flows backward into the esophagus.

[00:00:40]This is called acid reflux. If left untreated, Barrett's [music] esophagus increases, so eating smaller meals, avoiding late-night eating, and managing acid reflux are very important for long-term health.
