Useful properties of walnut in pancreatitis
Forming the patient's diet for pancreatitis, the doctor pays the greatest attention to products with high protein content, including walnut. This is because enzymes that process protein foods are produced not only by the pancreas, but also by the intestine and stomach. Therefore, protein-rich food with exacerbation of pancreatitis does not overload the pancreas, in which the production of enzymes decreases due to edema.
Animal protein, contained in milk and meat, is equivalent to the vegetable protein of the walnut, but its digestibility by the body is different. When digesting meat, acid is released, which slugs the body with salts, and milk fat and sugar overload the liver.
The walnut protein does not require any energy expenditure for its assimilation, since the balanced composition of the nucleus containing the lysine helps its assimilation. Therefore, walnuts are often recommended to people after the operation, exhausted or weakened disease( during rehabilitation after an attack of pancreatitis including).
According to the results of the conducted researches of different varieties of walnut, the Greek took the first place in the content of antioxidants, exceeding the result of competitors by two times. With pancreatitis, antioxidants protect pancreatic cells from free radicals, reduce the inflammatory process and pain syndrome, reduce the likelihood of possible complications.
Walnut is a fat, high-calorie food that can not be abused. Five raw uncooked kernels - a daily norm of a walnut at a pancreatitis.
