Pancreas: enzymes - in the fire of digestion?

Is it worth scoring the pancreas?

To begin with, I want to draw your attention: although advertising refers to improving the work of the stomach, in fact, all enzyme preparations contain pancreatic enzymes. They do not work in the stomach, and are included in the process of digestion at the next stage – in a duodenalistician. And the colored shell is created in such a way as to dissolve only in the duodenum.

Thus, enzyme preparations primarily facilitate the work of the pancreas, And only indirectly affect the stomach and partly - to the liver.

It would seem that the bad if we facilitate the work of our digestive system? It turns out, not so good. First, despite the fact that it is too expensive to receive enzymes in a chemical way, the animal origin has only in the last century. Now enzymes are produced by biotechnology with the help of transgenic microorganisms.

But the most important thing is not even in this. If you too much «Help» His muscles, they weaken (atrophically). Without physical exertion, the cardiovascular, and the respiratory system, and the bones become more fragile. If it is not enough to train the brain, it also loses its activity. No wonder representatives of intellectual professions are much longer and better than the rest save memory and clarity of thinking even in old age.

Similarly without «Training» Lake and digestive system. Long-term intake of enzyme preparations leads to the emergence of lazy pancreatic syndrome. And these are not empty words: with chronic pancreatitis after 20 years, mortality rate is up to 60% - and first of all, precisely because of the decrease in the activity of the pancreas.

Therefore, although in the short term, enzymes are quite safe, they still should be applied only if they cannot do without them.

When without enzymes can not do

With the acute disorder of digestion or exacerbation of chronic disease (first of all pancreatitis), an enzyme drug is necessary. However, it should be taken by a course in 1-2 months, simultaneously with a strict diet and complex treatment of the disease in general. Fortunately, now there are a lot of plant remedies, very effective in pancreatitis.

But to take enzymes unsystemantly extremely undesirable. Of course, if you moved three or five times during the year and coped with this problem with the help of tablets, there is no special misfortune. But, unfortunately, any simple solutions lead to abuse.

The presence of enzymes at hand almost always means that a person will overeat regularly – every week or more. As a result, in a year the drug will be needed, then – even stronger, and then suddenly it will be discovered that without enzymes, even porridge does not turn out.

Therefore, the most right approach – Always control the quality and quantity of food eaten. In most cases, it is very simple: just not enough in the cinema, as well as at home in front of the TV or with a book. If all the attention is directed to food, the body itself will determine when it is time to stop.

That holiday for the stomach – Bed for pancreas

It is more difficult about the holidays, when interesting communication, alcohol and change of dishes are dumping the feeling of satiety. But the holidays are not every day, and it's not so difficult to prepare.

• First, half an hour before meals need to drink 300-500 ml of water – ordinary or mineral. Most modern people are almost always in a state of insignificant dehydration. You can not feel thirst, but the stomach, pancreas and liver will be very grateful for the sip of water before hard work.
• Shortly before the holiday, accept the vegetable hepatoprotector. Do not be lazy to go to the pharmacy. Also consult the pharmacist – Surely they have several vegetable preparations that improve the work of the stomach and digestion in general. These two or three natural medicines will not prevent adopt before the holiday, and several times – after him.
• To help the stomach and pancreas, absolutely not necessarily taking enzymes in tablets. Pineapples, Kiwi and Papaya contain very strong proteolytic enzymes, perfectly improving digestion.
• If the owners of the holiday you – Be sure to submit to the table at least one of these fruits. First of all, they are relevant to meat and fish dishes, as they contribute to the digestion of proteins.
• If you go to visit – No one bothers bring a basket of Kiwi or pineapple with them. I think you will not be so hard to convince the hostess to feed the fruit to the table, without waiting for the dessert.

Of course, the best remedy for overeating – not too much. But when you are at a festive table, it is very difficult to stay. And in such cases, natural remedies should come to the rescue – And first of all it is the right selection of fruit in the menu. And the medications are better to postpone in case of illness. And let them never need you.
