When you have heartburn, pay attention to 'this vegetable'
Hello. I'm a pharmacist Jinny.
Cabbage is a familiar ingredient. Even if there are people who don't like it, I think there are very few people who haven't consumed it. Also, if you have suffered from heartburn, you may have heard from the adults around you that you should eat a lot of cabbage, but is the myth that cabbage is good for your stomach true?
In fact, I've been completely relieved of the annoying heartburn after drinking cabbage juice for about a month, so I tend to trust this myth quite a bit. At that time, I will examine whether it was really thanks to cabbage that my heartburn got better, through a paper today.
In the case of non-ulcerative dyspepsia, which is simply a decrease in gastric function, the symptoms of heartburn can be relieved naturally, but in the case of peptic ulcer in which the mucous membrane of the stomach or duodenal wall is damaged, treatment is required, and even if it is mild, it usually requires treatment for 4~6 weeks.
In 1949, Cheney conducted a clinical trial in which cabbage juice was consumed in patients with peptic ulcer and reported that the consumption of cabbage juice shortened the healing time of peptic ulcer [2].
"The average healing time of 62 patients treated with standard therapy was 37 days, compared to 10.4 days for 7 duodenal ulcer patients treated with cabbage juice."
Gastritis, so much so that it is called a national disease, I think many people have experienced it. In fact, according to a 2012 study conducted by the Korean Society of Upper Gastrointestinal Tract and Helicobacter on 25,536 patients who underwent gastroscopy at 40 hospitals nationwide, 85.9% of them were found to have gastritis.
Gastritis can be the source of gastric ulcers, and since intestinal epithelial metaplasia is a precursor lesion of gastric cancer, the treatment and prevention of gastritis is of high importance, and research on more effective prevention methods is also accumulating. In 2013, a paper was published in the Journal of the Korean Society of Food Science and Nutrition that evaluated the effectiveness of cabbage in preventing gastric cancer and gastritis [3].
"These results show that cabbage juice and mixed cabbage juice, especially those with chlorella or kale, have a significant anti-gastritis effect, and can be administered for the long-term prevention and treatment of gastric cancer and gastritis."
Today, we've looked at the benefits of cabbage that have been validated by the scientific community. Personally, it was interesting to see that my experience was scientifically based. At the time, I used to grind about a quarter of a portion of raw cabbage every day, and although it tasted very difficult to eat, it definitely worked.
However, the most important thing for the health of the digestive system is regular and consistent care, so it would be a good idea to find a way to consume cabbage consistently.
I hope you have a healthy day in body and mind. It was Jinny.
