Helicobacter pylori lives in the mouth, stomach and duodenum, and 9% of patients with gastric ulcer and gastritis are infected with it. The World Health Organization lists it as a kind of carcinogen. According to media reports, 8% of the people in our country carry or have been infected with this bacterium. Here are some nemesis foods of Helicobacter pylori, hoping to help everyone!
1. Cabbage has antibiotic effect, which can kill many kinds of bacteria including Helicobacter pylori. Eating a proper amount of cabbage every day can relieve abdominal pain caused by gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer after 3 weeks, and help the ulcer heal. Cabbage also contains a chemical similar to gastrinone, which can stimulate gastrointestinal cells to secrete mucus to form a barrier, thus isolating from gastric acid and protecting the stomach from harm.
2. Garlic/onion can inhibit the reproduction of Helicobacter pylori. Fresh garlic is spicy and has strong bactericidal ability. Insist on eating raw garlic with purple skin every day, and the bacteriostatic effect is obvious. The incidence of gastric cancer in people who eat raw garlic is very low, because garlic/onion can reduce the nitrite content in the stomach and reduce the possibility of ammonia nitrite synthesis, thus playing an anti-cancer effect. Onion contains a substance called quercetin, which is a natural anticancer substance. Studies show that people who often eat onions have a 25% lower incidence of gastric cancer than those who eat less or don't eat onions, and the mortality rate of gastric cancer is also 3% lower. Garlic/onion is also characterized by its rich organic sulfur compounds and flavonols. When the concentration of organic sulfur compounds reaches 4μg/mL, it can effectively inhibit Helicobacter pylori infection. In addition, flavonol can help human body to degrade carcinogens.
3. The experimental concentration of honey is 2%, which can inhibit all Helicobacter pylori; When the concentration is 1%, half of Helicobacter pylori can be inhibited. Honey inhibits Helicobacter pylori mainly through osmosis, so honey should be drunk after meals to prolong its stay on gastric mucosa. You can put 3 ml of honey in a bowl, stir it with chopsticks until it bubbles, add 12 ml of warm water and mix well, then drink it slowly.
4. Make tea with cold boiled water. Tea contains a lot of tea polyphenols, which has a strong effect of killing Helicobacter pylori. However, tea contains caffeine at the same time, which will promote the secretion of gastric acid, which is not good for gastrointestinal ulcers. Making tea with cold boiled water can reduce the dissolution of caffeine and will not stimulate the secretion of gastric acid. 5 grams of tea leaves are soaked in cold boiled water for half an hour before drinking.
5. Broccoli, fresh broccoli contains a lot of sulforaphane, which helps to fight Helicobacter pylori. It was found that the level of Helicobacter pylori antigen in the feces of people who eat broccoli every day can be reduced by more than 4%. Cut 2 grams of broccoli into small pieces, quickly scald it with boiling water, and serve cold. In addition, broccoli can also be eaten raw by juicing.
6. Eating a few peanuts/soybeans on an empty stomach can stimulate the intestinal wall to produce gastrin, which can reach the stomach through blood circulation, obviously inhibit the activity of the stomach, reduce the secretion of gastric acid, and also play a certain role in the rehabilitation of ulcer disease. Helicobacter pylori is suitable for breeding in the environment with high gastric acid concentration. The more gastric acid, the stronger its exercise ability, and it can firmly connect with gastric mucosal cells, leading to various stomach diseases. So gastrin indirectly inhibited Helicobacter pylori. Soybean has the function of making acid, and it can be cooked and baked with light salt. It has the same effect as peanuts.
7. Regular consumption of Hericium erinaceus can enhance the barrier function of gastric mucosa, which is beneficial to the healing of ulcer and the regeneration and repair of gastric mucosa epithelium. This can inhibit the penetration of Helicobacter pylori.
8. Add bananas to yogurt. Helicobacter pylori destroys the mucous layer of the stomach, but studies have found that bananas can repair the mucous layer and form a protective barrier against infection. Bananas also increase mucus secretion and reduce excess gastric acid secretion. A banana a day keeps Helicobacter pylori away from you! Probiotics are bacteria beneficial to the colon, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus. They help inhibit the growth of Helicobacter pylori in the stomach. Although more research is needed, there is strong evidence that active bacteria in yogurt may be beneficial to specific gastrointestinal diseases, including Helicobacter pylori infection.
9. Anthocyanin is a very powerful bacteriostatic agent. Its main function is to prevent bacteria from adhering to the stomach wall and inhibit the growth of Helicobacter pylori. Foods containing anthocyanins: Lycium barbarum, cranberry, blueberry, grape seed, purple cabbage, eggplant, purple potato, cherry, mulberry and black (red) rice.
Health tip:
To prevent gastrointestinal infection, first of all, Helicobacter pylori should be thoroughly removed from the mouth. First of all, regular tooth washing can remove tartar and calculus, and completely eliminate the breeding environment of Helicobacter pylori. Change your toothbrush regularly and clean your dentures. The second step is to rinse your mouth with a special mouthwash every day to kill Helicobacter pylori. In addition, the tableware should be disinfected during the treatment to completely eradicate the roots.
