Stomach ulcer is now common in our environment due to the abuse of Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs) e.g Ibuprofen, diclofenac etc, excessive alcohol intake , smoking , prolonged fasting , stress . Stomach ulcer is a distressing disease as it present with severe pain of which , the commonly used pain killers like NSAIDs will make it worse , because they inbibit a substance called prostaglandin that is protective against stomach ulcer. However , the main cause of stomach ulcer is a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori( H. pylori) that survives comfortably in the hydrochloric acid( HCl) of the stomach by creating a cool environment for it's self , where normally most organisms don't survive .

Olive oil , that is gotten from the fruits of the olive tree is not easily destroyed by acid and heat ( it can withstand heat at a very high temperature and acid for a very long period of time) , so it is the perfect match for the eradication of the organism H. Pylori that is causing the stomach ulcer . However , studies have shown that , a substance in extra virgin olive called polyphenol ( tyrosol like substance) inhibits 8 different types of H. pylori , of which , 3 of those organisms are not killed by any known antibiotics .

But , please note; olive is not only effective against stomach ulcer , it has other very important functions like prevention of heart diseases , stroke , diabetes , reduces blood pressure , and makes someone to look younger and healthier than it's age .

After completing your ulcer treatment , you can still take olive oil at least once a day to prevent future occurrence of stomach ulcer .
