Peptic ulcers

Wash vegetables and fruits properly before use.

* Wash your hands frequently and eat foods that have been cooked thoroughly to avoid infections.

* Eat a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Eating vitamin-rich foods make it easier for the body to clean the ulcers.

* Limit over-the-counter pain relievers. Consult a doctor for advice on safer pain relievers.

* Avoid smoking and other tobacco products. People who regularly smoke or use tobacco are more likely to develop peptic ulcers compared to non-smoker.

* Avoid alcohol consumption. Regular and heavy drinkers have a higher risk of developing peptic ulcers.
