Home remedies to protect against the bacteria that causes ulcers

You get the picture. This is serious stuff. So here’s how to reduce your chance of infection and the home remedies to fight H. pylori:

1. Yogurt. According to a 2003 study, probiotics, which are found in yogurt and fermented foods like sauerkraut and kimchi, may help in the fight against H. pylori. Include probiotics in your daily diet to prevent this dangerous bacteria from interrupting your life.

2. Ginger. University Health News reports ginger is a natural antibacterial that can help kill the H. pylori infection.

3. Red pepper. This is another anti-bacterial that fights against H. pylori. University Health News says the specific compound that makes a difference is a substance known as capsaicin, found in a wide range of hot and mild peppers. If you like spicy foods, dust cayenne pepper over a meal once daily.

4. Olive oil. Dr. Mercola’s secret against H. pylori is olive oil. This is because olive oil is a powerful antibiotic that remains stable even in the most acidic of conditions. To incorporate olive oil in your daily diet, get in the habit of substituting butter in all cases for olive oil.
