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.

Origin and meaning of Edo words

Ewuare the first Bini warrior king, was himself forced into exile as a young prince and nearly would not have ascended the Benin throne.  With death penalty hanging on his head as a result of some misdemeanor, he fled into the woods although regularly, secretly visiting the city of Benin at night. The elders (Edionisen) heard about his secret visits and set a trap to capture and kill him.  Just as he was about to be caught, he escaped to the home of Ogieva Nomuekpo, who hid him in a well covered on top with leaves.  Ogieva then went to invite the elders to come and arrest Prince Ogun as he was called then. While Ogieva was on his way to call the elders, Edo, the head servant of Ogieva's household alerted Prince Ogun about his master's diabolical plan and helped the prince to escape.  Ogieva returned with the elders to find that he had been betrayed and he severely punished Edo for this. After several years in the bush, Prince Ogun began to grow weary of his vaga...

The relationship between the queen of England and the Oba of Benin Kingdom

AS the world was awaiting the coronation of a new Oba of Benin, in Benin City, there has been a barrage of goodwill messages from distant and near lands.

Prayers In The Culture

By Michael A.  Odaro Prayers in the culture is the living entreaty of the human person with divine reality of love, embracing both trial and joy. Prayer is a consciousness of divine reality, a raising of heart and mind to the object of faith and awakens a new understanding of life experience. It s a growth in awareness, a surrender, a commitment, a risk and implies dependence on divine reality. Prayer has been classed with protective magic or with social mechanisms of explanation and control. As such it is the central phenomenon of religion and core of worship, which includes many types of religious practice, ritual, instruction, reading, singing, offering of gifts and so on. Prayer is a continuous mode of living and the spiritual disposition of the believer and fundamental spiritual communication, verbal, ritual and materialized moments of formal exchange. Social Anthropologists have been more interested in the secondary Sycho-social functions of prayer. Necessity teaches us...
