Helicobacter pylori infection:Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium harmful to the gastric mucosa, which can damage the gastric mucosal barrier and cause gastritis, gastric ulcers and other diseases. With lifestyle changes, such as eating together and eating uncleanly, the infection rate of Helicobacter pylori is also gradually increasing.

Whether or not eating apples at night can harm the stomach is a controversial topic, with some people believing that eating apples at night is bad for the stomach, while others believe that apples are a healthy fruit that can be consumed at any time.
First and foremost, apples are a nutritious fruit that contains a variety of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. These ingredients are very important for good health and can help us maintain a healthy digestive system, boost immunity, and prevent disease.
However, eating apples at night may cause stomach upset in some people. Evening is a time for the body to relax and rest, and the digestive function of the stomach may be weakened. If apples are eaten at this time, it may increase the burden on the stomach, causing discomfort or pain.
Additionally, some people may be allergic to apples or intolerant to some of the ingredients in them. If these people eat apples at night, they may experience symptoms such as stomach upset, diarrhea, vomiting, etc.
In order to maintain good health, especially for stomach health, it is recommended to avoid certain foods at night, here are four recommended foods to eat less to reduce the burden and discomfort on the stomach.
**Spicy Food**:Spicy foods such as chili peppers, ginger, etc. are irritating and may cause problems such as stomach upset, excessive stomach acid, etc. Especially at night, when the organs of the body gradually enter a state of rest, spicy food may increase the burden on the stomach and affect the quality of sleep.
**Greasy Food**:Greasy foods such as fried chicken, barbecue, etc., are high in fat and calories and are not easily digested. Consuming too much greasy food at night may lead to problems such as indigestion and stomach upset, which can affect the quality of sleep.
**Raw and cold food**:Raw and cold foods such as ice cream and sashimi may irritate the stomach mucosa, causing stomach cramps or abdominal pain. The body temperature is lower at night, and the intake of raw and cold food is more likely to cause discomfort.
**Caffeine & Alcohol**:Both caffeine and alcohol are irritating and can lead to problems such as excessive stomach acid and stomach upset, and consuming caffeine and alcohol at night may affect sleep quality and further burden the stomach.
The stomach is an important digestive organ in our body, and it is responsible for converting food into energy and nutrients. However, some bad lifestyle Xi habits may cause damage to the stomach and become the "culprit" of stomach injury. Let's take a look at these Xi.
First of all, irregular eating is one of the common causes of stomach damage. If we often skip breakfast or dinner, or eat large amounts in a short period of time, it can cause irritation to the gastric mucosa and increase the risk of diseases such as gastritis, gastric ulcers, etc.
Secondly, excessive alcohol consumption is also one of the culprits of stomach damage. Alcohol can irritate the gastric mucosa, leading to the occurrence of gastritis, gastric ulcers and other diseases. Long-term alcohol consumption may also cause the gastric mucosa to shrink and increase the risk of stomach cancer.
In addition, smoking is also one of the important factors that hurt the stomach. Nicotine and other harmful substances in cigarettes can irritate the gastric mucosa, leading to the occurrence of gastritis, gastric ulcers and other diseases. At the same time, smoking may also increase the infection rate of Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium closely related to gastritis, gastric ulcers, stomach cancer, and other diseases.
Finally, long-term use of certain medications may also cause damage to the stomach. For example, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen, aspirin, etc.) may irritate the gastric mucosa, leading to the occurrence of gastritis, gastric ulcers and other diseases. Therefore, while taking the medication, we need to read the drug package carefully and follow the doctor's advice.
In conclusion, bad lifestyle Xi and long-term use of certain medications can cause damage to the stomach, in order to protect stomach health, it is necessary to maintain a regular diet Xi, avoid excessive alcohol consumption and smoking, and consult a doctor for advice when needed.
