The life style of today is absolutely altered or modified, within the last two decades, when compared with the past. Likewise, are the habits of food intake as well. Most of the people are not able to compromise much in their food habits. They have awful food habits like irregular intake, eating of smoked foods, excessive use of spices, chillies and masalas, intake on inappropriate time, using processed foods, having food with preservatives etc. Similar is the psychological imbalances observed in the present-day community and the relation with food.It leads to conditions like dyspepsia, peptic ulcer and other major disorders of the GI tract, in the due course.
