"Every day, the pancreas gets damaged"... The worst eating habit that must be fixed at all costs

Late-night snack, a major burden on the pancreas that secretes pancreatic juice

Late-night snacks focused on high-calorie and high-fat foods threaten pancreatic health by stimulating pancreatic juice secretion.

 

 

Late-night snacks focused on high-calorie and high-fat foods threaten pancreatic health by stimulating pancreatic juice secretion.

 

The couple, who had an average physique before marriage, appeared significantly overweight.

 

When asked about the reason for the drastic change in his body, he said, "We both like late-night snacks, enjoyed fried meat and beer, and at some point, I started gaining a lot of weight."

 

Eating late-night snacks right before bed not only leads to obesity but also harms the pancreas.

 

Let's learn again about food and pancreatic health.

 

"My pancreas is struggling too much"... Foods eaten at night damage the pancreas

 

The pancreas in our body performs two main functions.

 

It secretes pancreatic juice that aids digestion and is involved in the digestion and absorption of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in food.

 

The other one secretes insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar, and also influences the prevention and control of diabetes.

 

As you age, like other fluids in the body, pancreatic fluid decreases and its function diminishes.

 

Especially, there is difficulty in digesting fats and proteins. What happens if you ignore these changes and eat food late at night with little physical activity? It will inevitably put a strain on the pancreas.

 

The body tries to sleep... but the pancreas accumulates overwork from 'night shifts' every day.

 

There is no time to move your body after late-night snacking.

 

If I drink alcohol, I go straight to bed.

 

If you mainly consume high-calorie, high-fat foods, you will inevitably gain weight.

 

If this kind of eating habit continues for a long time, it will rapidly worsen even the pancreas. Even after late-night snacking and going to bed, the pancreas has to keep working.

 

The pancreas has to work hard, secreting pancreatic juice and performing other strenuous "night shifts" to digest fried meat and other foods that have entered the body.

 

In middle age, pancreatic juice decreases, making it more difficult. If you indulge in late-night snacks, the pancreas will inevitably deteriorate.

 

 

In the worst case of pancreatic deterioration... pancreatic cancer, and the connection to food is also significant.

 

The worst case scenario for pancreatic deterioration is pancreatic cancer.

 

According to data released in December 2023 by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Central Cancer Registration Headquarters, 8,872 new patients were diagnosed in 2021.

 

It is on an increasing trend, ranking eighth in overall cancer incidence.

 

There are 4,280 female patients who drink and smoke less relatively, which is almost the same as the 4,592 male patients.

 

Recently, the occurrence of pancreatic cancer is increasingly related to diet.

 

If diabetes suddenly develops or worsens due to blood sugar control failure, pancreatic cancer should be suspected.

 

If blood sugar control is poor, the risk of pancreatic cancer increases... What are good dietary habits for the pancreas?

 

The National Cancer Information Center recommends avoiding high-fat, high-calorie meat-based diets and eating plenty of fruits and vegetables to prevent pancreatic cancer.

 

It is also good to frequently eat plant-based proteins such as legumes.

 

Having diabetes increases the risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Consistent treatment and strict adherence to dietary guidelines are essential.

 

Smoking is also a risk factor.

 

Try to eat dinner early whenever possible, move your body enough, and then go to bed.

 

Excessive weight gain and poor blood sugar control increase the risk of pancreatic cancer.

 

Eating habits are the most important for maintaining health.
