"Every day, the pancreas gets damaged"... What is the worst eating habit that must be fixed?

I'm not someone who particularly likes late-night snacks, but I have pancreatic cancer... It's a neuroendocrine tumor, not adenocarcinoma, which has a 90-95% chance of occurring, so maybe it's a different case...

 

Honestly, I'm worried about my husband who occasionally enjoys late-night snacks.

It's like making the pancreas work overtime;;;;

 

The pancreas is completely unaware that it is being damaged.

Because there are no symptoms.

So, if you're worried about diabetes, pancreatitis, or pancreatic cancer.

Please reduce late-night snacking and, if you eat, try to do 30 minutes of exercise to prevent overloading the pancreas.

The couple, who had an average body shape before marriage, appeared significantly overweight. When asked about the reason for their drastic change, they said, "We both love late-night snacks, enjoying fried meat and beer, and at some point, we started to gain a lot of weight." Eating late-night snacks right before bed not only leads to obesity but also harms the pancreas. Let's revisit the relationship between 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, involved in the digestion and absorption of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in food. The other function is secreting insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels, which also affects the prevention and control of diabetes. As we age, like other bodily fluids, pancreatic juice decreases and its function diminishes. In particular, there is difficulty in digesting fats and proteins. What happens if we ignore these changes and eat food late at night with little physical activity? It inevitably puts a strain on the pancreas.
