MELO MEDEROS, Zenia Amaparo et al. Water Consumption as Dietary Hygienic Measure for Gastroesophageal Reflux. CCM [online]. 2013, vol.17, suppl.1, pp. 536-545. ISSN 1560-4381.

A literature review was carried out aimed at updating about water consumption as a hygienic and dietary measure and its relation to the esophageal reflux disease. Taking into account the classical knowledge about this condition, the theoretical aspects of the bioenergetics and traditional natural medicine were included. Bibliography published in the last five year by MEDLINE and Health Library and specialty sites of INFOMED and Natural Medicine and Gastroenterology. The opinions were classified into: gastroesophageal reflux disease, gastric physiology, hydro mineral balance, food and liquid consumption patterns, feeding and obesity, hydroponic therapies and implication in gastroenterology. There were no Cuban publications on the topic. The authors recommended to carry out investigations on this topic and to develop a design of water consumption for those patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Keywords : gastroesophageal reflux disease; water; physiology; hydration; naturopathic; health initiatives.
