Burgers from Fast Food Restaurants
It’s crucial to note that fast food burgers can be a very unhealthy source of sodium and trans-fats (and various other unhealthy ingredients), which can increase the overall risk of heart disease alongside triggering your GERD. Typically, burgers are made with beef, red meat that’s high in sodium, saturated fats, and cholesterol. It’s an unhealthy combination that can cause all sorts of health issues.
The high fat content will cause much slower digestion, which can severely increase the odds of getting heartburn. Burgers from fast food restaurants are also loaded with all manner of condiments — adding even more layers of unhealthiness to the food. Those suffering from acid reflux would do well to avoid burgers as much as possible, as it’s likely to cause heartburn even for individuals that don’t have the condition.
Burgers can potentially be made healthier at home by replacing many of its most unhealthy ingredients with choice alternatives. There are also veggie burgers available for those who want to get rid of red meat entirely.
