Eating strawberries can prevent stomach diseases

According to the daily mail of October 26, researchers found that strawberries can protect the gastric mucosa from the stimulation of alcohol and promote the treatment of gastric ulcer Scientists gave ethanol to laboratory mice and found that those who had eaten strawberry extract in the previous ten days had less damage to their gastric mucosa "The positive effect of strawberries is not only their antioxidant capacity, but also their antioxidant defense system and enzymes in the body," said Sarah turipani, a researcher at the University of Barcelona Scientists say a large strawberry meal can help people prevent stomach disease and slow down the formation of gastric ulcer Scientists say the treatment of gastric ulcer requires protective anti oxidant drugs, and the compounds found in strawberries may be a good choice A team of researchers from Italy, Serbia and Spain are studying gastric mucosa, which contains special cells that can produce acids and enzymes to help the body break down protein in food It also secretes mucus to protect the gastric mucosa itself It is found that eating more strawberries has a beneficial effect on the prevention of gastric disease, which is related to the generation of free radicals or other reactive oxygen species Gastritis or gastric mucositis are associated with alcohol consumption, but may also be caused by viral infection, and inflammation may also be caused by the use of non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as aspirin) or drugs for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori "In these cases, eating strawberries on or after the lesion reduced the degree of gastric mucosal damage," said marcario batino, coordinator of the research team from the University of technology in markai, Italy The team found that mice who had been eating strawberry extract (40 mg / kg body weight per day) for 10 days before taking alcohol had fewer stomach ulcers "This study is not seen as a way to reduce the effects of drunkenness, but as a way to restore the molecules that protect the gastric mucosa from different kinds of damage," batino stressed
