Olive oil -- the unsaturated fat that’s great for your heart -- is making headlines again. But this time it’s for helping something a little lower down: your stomach.
Research suggests that polyphenols in olive oil may inhibit the bacterium that causes most stomach ulcers.
Heard of H. Pylori?
Antibiotics are the treatment gold standard for Helicobacter (H.) pylori, the ulcer-causing bacterium that’s tough enough to survive the acidity of people’s stomachs. But resistant strains of H. pylori are now found worldwide. Fortunately, some researchers are seeking alternative therapies, and in recent studies, the polyphenols in olive oil showed tremendous potential. Not only could they withstand the harsh gastric juices of the stomach, but they also seemed to kill off H. pylori pretty handily -- even antibiotic-resistant strains.
I guess that has to be good news, readers

Believe it or not, Katyzzz. I was once being diagnosed by doctor that my stomach is infected by H.Pylori while I study in the college. Luckily, Margaret, one of my classmate taught me to inhibit the H.Pylori by taking a mixture of Apple Cider Vinegar and Olive Oil.
To overcome the H.Pylori, you need to drink at least one mixture per day, which the ingredients are:
1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoon of olive oil, mix them together in a cup and drink it!
