Ulcer Should Never Stop You From Taking The Right Meals: See Reasons And Possible Solutions

You just have to eat the right proportion if you wants to stay healthy. This article is going to shed light on how ulcer should never stop you from taking the right meals..

A lot of people, once they see that they are gaining weight, they tend to start putting themselves to suffer.. I do see some young girls not eating all in the name of not having belly fat or overweight.... this is serious....

Have you forgotten if you don't eat well it might lead to ULCER. Let's start from here...

An ulcer is a sore in the lining of the digestive tract. This can happen when the stomach acid damages the lining of the digestive tract and can be caused by bacteria ( H.pylori) or by pain relief like aspirin.

Why do people have ulcer

This is simple it is because

they refused to eat at the right time

Stress

Anxiety

Pain relief drugs e.g aspirin

Bacteria

Symptoms Of Ulcer

Burning pain in the abdomen

Indigestion

Heartburn

Feeling sick

There are different kinds of ulcer

Duodenal ulcer

Esophageal ulcer

These ulcers have common symptoms which is "Gastrointestinal Pain" which can be aggravated by different things. Ulcer patient no matter the type are usually placed on a very restrictive diet and sometimes very bland.

They avoid

peppery and spicy foods

Proteins like moi-moi, beans, beans cake

Citrus fruits like grape, oranges, lime, lemon

Anything acidic

Alcohol

Cigarette

Carbonated drinks because of its high acidic contents

They also don't take drugs from the NSAIDs family like ibuprofen etc

In as much it is important that they stay healthy. They have to stay away from anything that could aggravate the pain or causes heart burns.

Dietary Implications

Beans

Beans is a highly proteinous food and one of the highest sources of protein and totally avoiding beans and it's other babies like moi-moi and beans cake is not a totally idea option except you have other sources of protein which cannot fully replace beans.

Beans helps to buildup the body especially the muscles, repair of body tissues etc A removal of this plant protein means you will be left with more carbohydrates and starchy foods.... See, you are on the high way of being overweight. A total avoidance of beans and other highly proteinous diet is a total acceptance of overweight.

That is why weight loss is more protein and less carbs, healthy eating is more protein and less carbs.

So what should the ulcer patient now do?

Possible Solution

Remember totally scrap of beans will lead to weight loss. Therefore, the best thing to do is that, for every 6 tablespoons intake of beans, drink at least 100cl of water, if you are taking sachet water which is 60cl, take 2 of it and if it's 75cl bottle water, drink 2 of it.

Why?

Water helps for easy digestion and controls the pH of your system , because water is neither alkaline or acidic, it is neutral. So you can't totally avoid not eating beans. The more water you drink, the less pain from the ulcers.

Antacids are palliative, they don't cure ulcers. So at the end of the day, you can't stay away from proteins else you will become overweight and obessed. Therefore, take more water than you eat when you eat beans because you can't completely cut it out from your diet except there is an allergy attached to it. You need beans more than carbs like rice in your body.

Let's look at citrus fruits

Citrus fruits are one of the highest source of vitamin C and they are very rich in antioxidants that fight against diseases causing free radicals in the body.

Poor or lack of vitamin C in the body can lead to low immunity that exposes your body to all kinds of opportunistic infections and deadly diseases. You will fall ill a lot when you have allow immune system which a lot of time is a sign that you are not taking alot of fruits. See you can leave a very long life if your fruits intake is on point.

Fruits especially citrus supplies some very important nutrients to your body like magnesium, potassium etc.

Someone who has ulcer and avoid citrus fruits like oranges, lime, lemon, tangerine,grape etc completely will battle with health issues a lot. You wi be vitamin C deficient a lot except you really invest in other fruits like cucumber, water melon, cabbage but citrus fruits are citrus fruits and they have some very important things they do in the body peculiar to them.

Possible Solution

The best thing to do here is drinking water. Water is a neutral thing with the pH of 7 which is neither alkaline nor acidic. Instead of drinking lime, lemon, orange directly because of their acidity you can do this little trick...

Press out your citrus fruits inside water and drink like that. For instance, you can dilute a medium sized orange into a 60cl cup of water and drink. That reduces the effect and the acidity on you.

So instead of completely staying away from citrus fruits, dilute them with plain water fresh as they are and drink like that. Orange juice is not a better option, mix your fresh orange with water.

That way they retain their nutritonal value and no artificial sugars added. At the end of the day... It is water to the rescue. So ulcer should never stop you from taking the right meals...
