A significant risk factor for GERD is obesity. Hiatal hernias are caused when excess abdominal fat presses on the stomach, which in turn causes stomach acid to leak into the food pipe. In addition, people who are obese have a higher risk of acid reflux because their lower esophageal sphincter (LES) relaxes to a greater extent. Acidity or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) affects a large proportion of obese people and people with high BMIs. In addition to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), obesity is linked to a wide variety of disorders, the treatment for which may involve the use of over-the-counter drugs such as antacids.
Bad eating practices, sedentary lifestyles, and frequent use of drugs to control high blood pressure are a few of the factors contributing to the rise in antacid demand. As a result, market players are spending a lot of money on research and development projects to distinguish their products by creating powerful antacids. Manufacturers present in the market are adopting newer drug formulation approaches in the form of chewable and flavored pills, which are focused on the needs of the consumer.
The percentage of overweight or obese adults and children in Israel has increased. Obesity affects 13.7% of persons over 18, while overweight affects 34% of the nation. Obesity develops when there is an imbalance between the calories consumed and the energy expended during activity. High-calorie fast food, bigger portions, and the affordability of high-calorie meals are the usual sources of excess calories. At the same time, less physical activity has been reported as a result of individuals spending more time watching television, operating computers, and utilizing other electronics. In addition, the number of individuals with digestive tract issues is predicted to rise due to rising obesity for a variety of causes, which will also accelerate market growth in the region.
