In the olden days there was not like peptic ulcer: Modern food you eat that causes peptic ulcer


Peptic ulcers are lesions in the lining of your stomach and duodenum, or the upper part of your small intestine, according to Dr. James Balch and Mark Stengler, authors of "Prescription for Natural Cures." These lesions occur when the lining of your stomach and duodenum is weakened by gastric acids, which are produced by your stomach to digest foods. Peptic ulcers cause symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain, appetite changes, vomiting and a burning sensation in your stomach. Certain foods may trigger symptoms of peptic ulcers.

Black Pepper, Mustard Seed, Jalapenos
Spicy foods may irritate the lining of your stomach and may cause inflammation of peptic ulcers. Spices such as nutmeg, cayenne, black pepper, mustard seed and chili powder can trigger abdominal pain, burning sensations and other symptoms of peptic ulcers, according to the Family Doctor website. These symptoms may also worsen if you eat hot peppers, such as red chilis, jalapenos, poblanos or habaneros.
Milk
Doctors once recommended milk as a remedy for symptoms of peptic ulcers. However, the proteins in milk may encourage the production of excess stomach acids, which can irritate ulcers. Some ulcers may be caused by milk allergies, according to Balch and Stengler.

White Flour
White flour is made by processing and bleaching wheat grains. The extensive processing removes the fiber, vitamins and minerals from the grains. It also turns wheat into a simple carbohydrate and makes it difficult to digest, increasing stomach acid production.

Fried Potatoes, Egg Rolls, Chicken Wings
Foods that are fried in vegetable oil or shortening, such as fried potatoes, jalapeno peppers, egg rolls and onion rings, may irritate stomach and duodenum lesions, and may trigger peptic ulcer symptoms. Fatty foods such as chicken wings and legs, pork and beef may also cause or worsen symptoms.
Coffee
Regular and decaffeinated coffee contain chemicals that trigger the production of hydrochloric acid in your stomach, according to Balch and Stengler.

The origin Of Agbor

Agbor is one of the oldest vibrant towns in Nigeria, but may have been disadvantaged and eclipsed over the years by the world famous city of Benin, which is only 40 miles away and Asaba, two major towns in between which it is located, as they served as terminuses for east-bound ferry travellers. So much was not recorded about Agbor. The History of Agbor Kingdom like those of other African ancient kingdoms, empires and peoples, is based largely on oral tradition. Various oral accounts on the origin of Agbor and Ika people exist but the most credible being that “Ogunagbon” and his followers, who founded Agbor, came from Benin and first settled in “Ominije”, presently located in today’s Agbor-Nta. Following what can best be described as personal crisis between two princes in Benin and subsequent settlement of this dispute as agreed to by the chiefs and elders of Benin determined by casting of lot, led to one of the princes settling in what became known as ...

Written by Efe Sophia Osamuede (Mrs)      A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ADVENT OF IGIOGBE SUCCESSION The Binis, an ethnic tribe in Nigeria are a people with uniquely rich culture and traditional heritage they occupy the south Midwestern part of the country, now known as Edo state.

Talking Musical Instruments Of Edo Culture

Talking Musical Instruments lie in the tonal quality of most languages, in the fact that the instrument reproduces the tones, stresses and numbers of syllables in the various utterances. Talking instruments do not use a kind of morse system and the talk has often attracted the attention of visitors and observers. Edo talking musical instruments give performers and listeners the opportunity to express and experience a variety of emotions. Some of which are hostility, excitement, psychological relief and to increase dramatic tension at points of climax, but their blasts also express the excitement of the adversaries and hostility. It was said that the functions of music concern the reasons for its employment and particularly the broader purpose which it serves and among the several functions are those of emotional expression, entertainment, communication, symbolic representation, enforcing conformity to social norms, validation of social institution and religious rites. The general p...
