I like to have pickles in my diet. Some people are saying that pickles are not so good for health as they can cause some ulcers. Some are telling that pickles are very good for digestion of food. So actually I'm confused. Is pickle healthy to have on a daily basis?

I think it helps in digestion because it is kind of sour, but on a daily basis I think you will become acidic so I rather not prefer you to eat it daily.

Pickles are actually healthy bacteria needed for the safety of fermented food we consume. In other words, they are probiotics that help the gut bacteria to perform their functions thus enabling the healthy status of our gut. Mind you good healthy gut would promote digestion of food we eat, as well as the elimination of bad bacteria which causes diseases in our body.

This question is so on it!  This past July 4th, I was given Dill Pickle Slaw!  The dish was so delicious!  I can honestly tell you that I am addicted!  So, this week, when I go to the grocery store, I am buying the ingredients and am going to prepare a big batch!  The ingredients are:  cabbage (coleslaw mix), dill pickles, sweet onions, mayonnaise, dill pickle juice, garlic powder and salt.  Today, I just could not find a dish to satisfy the Dill Pickle Slaw craving.

Pickles can be a healthy addition to your diet in moderation. They are high in vitamin K, which helps with blood clotting and bone health, as well as probiotics that can help support a healthy digestive system. However, pickles are also high in sodium, so be sure to watch your intake. Eating pickles in moderation and as part of a balanced diet can be a great way to get some of the benefits they offer.

Pickles are very good for digestion. Especially lime pickle.
But it cannot be considered as a healthy food in your daily diet. As what you heard before too much consumption of pickles may lead to mouth ulcers or stomach ulcers. Moreover, the high salt content in pickles may increase your blood pressure levels. Thus, in turn, results in many health issues including renal problems.
So avoid daily consumption of these kinds of the salty menu for your better health. Even if you like pickles you should think of your body too.

I am also a pickle lover. But not addicted.

South Indian and North Indian Pickles have differed from its tastes, colour, and shelf life. Good but, use it judiciously. I like it. Especially Andhra Mango Pickle

Pickles are good for digestion after a heavy meal. Especially after Indian foods like Biriyani, Paratha etc. But pickles should be home-made. Preservatives used in commercially sold pickles are not so good for health.

Yes, if consumed in a limited way pickles are good for health. Pickles help in the digestion of the food. But at the same time if the quantity consumed is more then it may cause serious health issues also. Therefore, consuming a limited quantity is good for health.

It is a misnomer to think that pickled food can have negative effects on our bodies. In fact, it can help to digest food, has an antioxidant effect, prevents from having muscle spasms, neutralizes the sugar, and so on. If you are still in doubt, the best person to have further information is to ask a dietician.

Eating pickle is not at all harmful to health because many types of spices are used in pickle, but due to keeping it for a long day, it can do a little harm.

Probably not. They are basically fermented vegetables made from vegetables or fruits. Because of the salt vinegar content added the health benefits of pickles are limited, at least from a health point of view.

Yes they are good for your health but only in a very small amount because consuming too many pickles can be dangerous because consuming too many pickles can make your brain shrink to a very dangerously small size which is true because a mukbanger ate 1 gallon of pickles and her brain shrunk to a really small size.
