Hi Folks! Since this is the festive season, we should count our blessings, not our woes. There are a lot of people worse off than us - those who cannot see or walk, for example.
On the lighter side, I put together 10 advantages of having GERD. Hope you enjoy them!
Advantages of having GERD
1. Not being charged with drinking and driving.
2. Not being the food hog at a party.
3. Not being embarrassed by what you did at the Christmas party and can't remember.
4. Not having to work at losing weight.
5. Fewer meals at restaurants mean more money saved.
6. Don't have to waste your money on things like spices, chocolate, processed food, soda, etc.
7. Extra exercise while in bed - crawling to the head of the bed which is raised 6" (to keep from ending up on the floor at the foot of the bed).
8. Lower cholesterol level due to lack of fried food
9. Not having to worry about coffee cravings & fixes because you don't drink the stuff.
10. Not having to worry about garlic or onion breath.
