This makes it more susceptible to damage by stomach acid. NSAIDs can also affect the flow of blood to the stomach, reducing the body's ability to repair cells. Other causes of peptic ulcers. Genetics: A significant number of individuals with peptic ulcers have close relatives with the same problem, suggesting that genetic factors may be involved.
Plants contain (actually, they manufacture them) many oils and sugars which animals (actually, mammals - don't know if other vertebrates and invertebrates store fat in the same way) eat and then process to use for fuel. Unused portions are stored in the body in the adipose tissues. So, while plants contain the basic ingredients of what we think of as fat, they don't store them in any kind of fatty tissue the way animals do, in what we think of generically as fat.. Plants don't eat a diet high in anything, good or bad.
In the leaves of a plant is a substance called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll makes leaves green. It also traps the energy from the sun so the plant can use it. When plants take carbon dioxide from the air, they release oxygen. Animals use this oxygen to grow. We release carbon dioxide, which the plants use. Plants also need minerals from the soil to grow. Nitrogen helps them grow and make leaves. Phosphorus helps grow strong roots. Potassium helps the plant make fruit and it keeps them healthy. Plants need large amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The soil doesnât always have enough of these nutrients. Gardeners use fertilizer to give plants more nutrients. Fertilizers are sort of like vitamins for plants.
