What foods help keep your pancreas healthy?

Gastroenterologist Nuriya Dianova told about the existence of products that are very useful for maintaining normal pancreatic function. According to her, one of such products is an omelet, writes MedicForum. 

Earlier, experts have repeatedly called to include eggs into your diet or eliminate them altogether, as it was believed that eggs raise cholesterol levels. Later, a number of reputable studies proved the benefits of eggs, including them in the category of dietary products suitable for a healthy diet. 

According to the gastroenterologist, another dish that contributes to the normal functioning of the pancreas is cottage cheese casserole, which is perfectly digested by the body. 

At the same time, the specialist stressed that for pancreatic problems, it is an omelet, not scrambled eggs. 

She also named the products that should be completely excluded from their diet in the presence of a sick pancreas. In particular, the specialist named alcohol, high-calorie sweets, fried and over-salted food. 

As MedicForum notes, pancreatic tumors are the most lethal: the mortality rate in their presence reaches 97%. The reason lies in late detection of the disease.
