Bad lifestyle leads to pancreatic disease The pancreas is an important digestive organ in the body, lying like a banana deep in the abdominal cavity behind the stomach, it secretes pancreatic juice containing a variety of digestive enzymes that can break down proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Under normal circumstances, these enzymes exist in the pancreas in the form of inactive “zymogen”, which is the predecessor of enzymes and does not digest its own tissues. (1) When people overeat, they stimulate the pancreas to secrete pancreatic juice in large quantities, which causes a sudden increase in pressure in the pancreatic duct, resulting in the rupture of the pancreatic vesicles and the overflow of “zymogen” out of the pancreatic duct. At this time, it is activated and becomes a digestive enzyme that can digest its own tissue and produce acute pancreatitis. Patients with biliary tract diseases such as cholelithiasis, cholecystitis, and biliary ascariasis are more likely to develop acute pancreatitis after overeating. (2) If biliary disease, chronic alcoholism caused by alcoholism and other risk factors persist for a long time, the pancreatic inflammation will be repeated and become chronic, eventually leading to chronic pancreatitis, of which a few patients with chronic pancreatitis will develop into pancreatic cancer. (3) The possibility of pancreatic cancer is caused by long-term smoking, alcoholism, staying up late for late night snacking, breathing in the exhaust fumes from cars in the streets with heavy traffic and even inhaling fumes when frying at home; high work pressure, irregular life and long time socializing can damage health; the incidence of pancreatic cancer is significantly higher among people with high fat diet and diabetes than other people; the incidence of pancreatic cancer is significantly higher among people who often eat smoked and fried foods and pickled foods at home. The incidence of pancreatic cancer is also increased by eating smoked and fried food and preserved food in the family. The following are the details of life to prevent pancreatic diseases. First, adjust the structure of your diet. For example, do not eat burnt and baked food, and try to eat less food with high fat, oil and salt; daily diet should also pay attention to keep cereals, beans, sweet potatoes and other coarse grains as the main body of the diet, fresh vegetables and fruits are essential every day, and increase fiber, carotene, vitamin E and necessary minerals in the diet. Second, participate in appropriate physical activities to avoid overweight and obesity. Third, life should be regular. Minimize socializing, drink alcohol in moderation, and firmly eliminate overeating. Maintain adequate sleep. For people over 40 years old, long-term smokers, alcoholics or chronic pancreatitis, and those with family history of pancreatic cancer should have regular medical checkups at hospitals, and be alert to the occurrence of pancreatic cancer if they have unexplained upper abdominal pain, low back pain, unexplained anorexia, lethargy, jaundice and other symptoms or sudden discovery of diabetes or recurrent pancreatitis. Ultrasound, CT and blood tests are the most common means to diagnose pancreatic cancer nowadays. In the routine physical examination, the items of abdominal ultrasound are mainly liver, gallbladder and spleen, and the examination of the pancreas is neglected, which causes the missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis of pancreatic diseases. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the examination of the pancreas during the routine physical examination.
