Understanding Pancreatitis

Acute pancreatitis is a sudden inflammation of the pancreas that can cause severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. It's often triggered by gallstones or heavy alcohol use, and recovery involves rest, IV fluids, and a low-fat diet. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a long-term condition where repeated inflammation leads to scarring and loss of pancreatic function. It can cause persistent pain, malabsorption, and diabetes. Lifestyle changes are key to managing both.

Lifestyle Changes for Better Health

To manage pancreatitis and diabetes, adopt a low-fat diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Avoid alcohol and smoking, as they worsen inflammation. Regular exercise like walking or yoga can help control blood sugar and reduce stress. For example, Sarah, a chronic pancreatitis survivor, shares: 'After my diagnosis, I switched to small, frequent meals and started yoga. It changed my life—I now enjoy family dinners without pain.' Here's a simple yoga pose, Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose), to stimulate the pancreas: Lie face down, place hands under shoulders, and lift your chest while keeping hips on the floor. Hold for 20-30 seconds.

Food choices matter: Opt for grilled chicken, steamed vegetables, and low-fat dairy. A sample recipe: Baked Turkey Breast with Brown Rice and Broccoli—low-fat, nutritious, and easy to digest. Exercise tip: 30 minutes of swimming or cycling daily can improve insulin sensitivity and aid digestion.
