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.

Benin Traditional Fast Food

In retrospect and till date, we had varieties of fast foods. These fast foods are called “Ekusun” which is seasonal and made from fresh maize “moin-moin” made from beans. “Akasan” made from strong-corn. “Emieki” made from plantain flour and beans etc all wrapped up in fresh leaves. The leaves are capable of protecting these foods without loosing taste. It is a common scenario to find young boys, girls and mature ladies hawking these food products in the streets and market places across the metropolice. These are health foods in their natural state devoid of excessive sugar which is the primary cause of diabetes, excessive salt which act as a booster to hypertension and animal fats which also accelerate collesterol consumption in human diet.
