Pancreas — The most important organ of digestion. It produces digestive enzymes (amylase, lipase and proteases), which are responsible for cleavage of food components and ensuring nutrients. Amylase breaks carbohydrates, lipase — fats, and proteases — Proteins.
2. What is the most suffering the pancreas?
First of all, we ruin this organ redundant by quantity and inadequate in quality. Proper nutrition — The most important factor in the preservation of health. We find our diseases at the bottom of the plate. Abundant reception of fatty foods, and sometimes with the simultaneous use of a significant amount of alcohol, leads to enhanced production of the pancreas of the enzymes required for digestion. Pancreas in such unusual extraordinary situations work with overload, but its own enzymes can still be insufficient so that the digestion is full. Therefore, after the festive feast, harbinger of disorders of food digestion appear: the severity in the stomach, belching, heartburn and even pain.

In addition, with such a grueling work of the pancreas, the outflow of pancreatic juice is disturbed and the so-called so-called «Safety of the pancreas fabrics». This process leads to damage to the organ, inflammation, and even irreversible changes of both its structure and functions. As a result, pancreatitis is naturally developing.
