Causes, Types, Symptoms and Cure for Hepatitis - World Hepatitis Day 2016

A few days ago, it was World Hepatitis Day. Over 400 million people presently live with Hepatitis with up to 10 million new cases every year. The awareness of this disease is quite little, yet the disease is so deadly. It's mode of transmission is even more easier than that of AIDS; some types can be transmitted through sweat. Most of its cause are viral. Yet the knowledge of this disease is unknown to many. Let me shed some light on this hideous yet fatal disease.

Flavonoids: A natural cure for stomach Ulcer.

Eating fruits and vegetables have been encouraged as a way of treating stomach ulcers naturally and even prevent a recurrence. 

Not just any fruit or vegetables but those that are rich in Flavonoids. Examples of those are;

• grapes
• kale
• broccoli
• apples
• berries
• onions
• tomatoes
• strawberries

Flavonoids are compounds found in this group of food that are 'gastroprotective' i.e. they help to protect the lining of the stomach, thereby promoting healing or protect it from attack. 

Flavonoids also have other benefits like they are strong antioxidants and reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

Note: Citrus fruits also contain flavonoids but they can also irritate the stomach lining.
