The pancreas is one of the vital organs of man. Enzymes and hormones produced by it, are indispensable for digestion and the production of glucose in the human body.
The first call about a health problem is aching pain in the left hypochondrium. The cause of the pancreas can be a neighborhood with a diseased organ, whether it be the stomach, bile or duodenum, or overeating and alcohol abuse.
Next, if you do not consult a doctor, the sick body will declare itself as such:
- flatulence;
- with irregular stools;
- viscous, "fat" feces;
- elevated blood sugar levels.
The pancreas responds by weakness, a drop in blood pressure, and sometimes vomiting occurs. With malnutrition, disease of others, neighboring organs, some of the cells of the tail die, and pancreatitis or diabetes develops.
It is necessary to pass tests for sugar with constant manifestation of such sensations - symptoms of a patient with pancreas, as:
- weakness and headache, which disappears after eating;
- dizziness;
- vision impairment;
- breakdown in the mornings;
- difficult morning awakening;
- sleepiness.
Who at least once experienced pain in pancreatitis knows that at home only the first signs or chronic course of the disease can be treated, acute pancreatitis requires urgent hospitalization. If the pain is tolerable, and you know that this is exactly pancreatic, then treatment can begin at home. When vomiting should be bought at the pharmacy antiemetic tablets.
The first day with a pancreas must be a day of hunger. You can drink only water without gas, a dog rose for broth, but for juice and mors - taboo. People say that with this disease, hunger and cold( a hot-water bottle with ice on the left hypochondrium) are the best friends.
To eat with a sick pancreas you need to start a little, but often. To begin with, the food should be cooked steamed, lean and without milk.
Switching to regular food sometimes lasts more than a month, while you should forget about food:
- fried, including any pastries;
- bold;
- sharp;
- smoked;
- canned.
With a sick pancreas, you should give up chocolate and alcohol and take care of medicines very carefully, using them only for the doctor's prescription in case of urgent need. At a pancreatitis it is recommended to include in the daily menu boiled and stewed vegetables.
Excess insulin in the pancreas
The pancreas is located near the stomach and takes part in the processing of food, but it enters the endocrine system, along with the glands of internal secretion: the pituitary gland, the thyroid, the genital organs and others.
The hormones produced are involved in the regulation of metabolism. The structure of the pancreas is conventionally divided into 3 parts, the head, body and tail, which occupies only two percent of the organ where the islets of Langerhans are located. Cells of these islets participate in the endocrine system, releasing hormones.
Excess insulin in the pancreas leads to a decrease in glucose that saturates the blood, and as a result, there is a risk of insulin shock and impaired brain activity in the head.
There is a direct relationship between the level of insulin and the amount and quality of food, or rather, the amount of carbohydrates. Many carbohydrates - a high level, a little - possibly a complete absence of insulin, which is responsible for the appearance of glucose in the blood.
Insulin is responsible for the synthesis of acids supplied by glucose, and helps inhibit the digestibility of fats in the body. Infringement of a level of sugar in blood of the patient leads to infringement of a metabolism, so to obesity.
Vessel constriction directly depends on insulin, and this explains why in hypertensive patients, as a rule, critical or elevated blood sugar levels. And, as a result, high blood pressure leads to narrowing of the capillaries, and those affect the kidneys. That's another reason for kidney failure.
It seems, how much excess insulin can have to bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia? And these are all the same capillaries, which are affected by this hormone.
Insulin and impotence are also linked, because the potency of a man depends on blood pressure, and what pressure can be if the vessels are narrowed from a high level of insulin.
Recent studies have proven a direct link between late-eating and pancreatic patients. The fact is that after 6 pm this vital organ is asleep, and any food intake is stress for him, and as a result, obesity, diabetes and other diseases.
