As the saying goes: spicy girls are not afraid of spicy from childhood, and spicy girls are not afraid of spicy when they grow up.
For friends who love spicy food, if a meal is a little less spicy, it will always feel like something is missing.
However, some people think that eating spicy hurts the stomach, and many people always feel uncomfortable after eating hot pot, so they still have to eat less.
But a recent sexual study has made eating spicy stomachs full of controversy.
Eat spicy people ecstasy! Can capsaicin inhibit the growth of Helicobacter pylori?
Recently, researchers from the National Academy of Medical Sciences and the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom have found that capsaicin can inhibit the growth of Helicobacter pylori, thereby reducing gastrointestinal infections and reducing the occurrence of diseases.
The researchers added about 100 micromoles/liter of capsaicin to the gastric epithelial cells infected by Helicobacter pylori, and found that capsaicin successfully inhibited the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines - interleukin-8 (IL-8) by the nuclear factor kaba (NF-kappaB) signal.
In this regard, researchers analyzed that capsaicin may be a potential anti-inflammatory drug that can effectively reduce Helicobacter pylori infection and reduce the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases.
If you want to be good for your stomach, do you want to eat something spicy?
In fact, the results of this study are actually very limited, one is that no large-scale clinical trials and survey data have been taken, and the impact of capsaicin intake on the stomach has not been analyzed.
In itself, eating spicy and stomach cancer has not yet found a specific correlation, and the impact of capsaicin intake on the stomach is also endless, each saying its own words.
Therefore, for the matter of eating spicy, we still do what we can, get happiness in the slight pain, love to eat, do not love to eat can not eat, do not need to eat for the so-called good stomach and deliberately eat.
To prevent Helicobacter pylori, it is not enough to eat spicy
Helicobacter pylori has two modes of transmission, the fecal-oral route and the oral-oral route.
1. Wash your hands frequently
Helicobacter pylori mostly lives in the human stomach, but can also fall off the stomach wall, when food is digested and absorbed, it enters the small intestine from the stomach, then into the large intestine, and finally excreted with the human excretion.
If you don't wash your hands just after you defecate or wipe your butt, you may have bacteria on your hands. At this time, if you touch the food directly with your hand, the bacteria will be attached to the food, and the bacteria will spread when eaten by others.
Another possibility is that if you don't wash your hands after going to the toilet, and then shake hands or have a close contact with someone else, you will directly transmit the germs to other people.
2. As little "intimate contact" as possible
Helicobacter pylori will climb up the esophagus from the stomach and enter the patient's mouth, and Helicobacter pylori will enter the patient's saliva.
It can also be spread between parents and children through mouth-to-mouth feeding, and many parents prefer to feed chewed food to their children, which is extremely unhygienic.
3. Share tableware, toiletries, cups
If someone in the family is infected with Helicobacter pylori, it is also necessary for the patient to use a separate bowl.
Eat separately, after use of the tableware must be disinfected with boiling water, Helicobacter pylori can not tolerate high temperatures, boiling water soaked for 30 minutes can kill bacteria.
Usually pay more attention to the child's personal hygiene, including not limited to eating hands, eating toys, etc., under the premise that the child has the ability to take care of themselves, it is also necessary to teach the child to pay attention to hand hygiene and food safety precautions.
Of course, there have been many studies that show that if adults want to eradicate Helicobacter pylori, it is basically difficult to re-infect, generally often occur in children, and transmission between adults is very limited.
In addition, even if Helicobacter pylori is detected, there is no need to isolate from the family, after all, this is not the new crown virus.
Therefore, here you need to pay attention to what to say, pay attention not to public towels, meals or use chopsticks, essentially not to prevent the spread of Helicobacter pylori, but more is the living habits that we should usually develop.
