If your pancreas is not functioning optimally, it may lead to diabetes. Here are some natural ways to support and heal your pancreas:
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps flush out toxins, which are quickly processed by the kidneys and eliminated through excretion.
- Incorporate Citrus and Seasonal Fruits: Citrus fruits like oranges, junar, lemons, limes, kiwis, and pineapples are excellent for supporting pancreatic health. They help release essential digestive enzymes, aiding in smoother digestion. Try incorporating these fruits, along with other seasonal fruits, into your breakfast.
- Natural Juice Remedy: Blend 4–5 olive leaves, 4–5 peepal leaves, or some dubo (durva) grass, and drink the juice on an empty stomach for a month. Olive leaves strengthen the liver, thyroid, and pancreas and contain oleic acid, which helps neutralize free radicals that can harm pancreatic cells.
- Garlic for Pancreatic Health: Take 2 crushed cloves of raw garlic with your meals (avoid frying it in oil). Garlic supports pancreatic function, helps lower blood sugar, and stimulates insulin production.
- Include Healing Foods: Reishi mushrooms, licorice root, various berries, turmeric (avoid mixing with leafy greens), sweet potatoes, ginger, and green leafy vegetables all support pancreatic health. Adding green smoothies made with these ingredients can be especially beneficial.
- Daily Exercise and Yoga: Regular exercise and yoga practices are essential to support pancreatic health and overall wellness.
- Daily Walking: Aim for a one-hour walk each day to support pancreas, circulation and digestion.
- Adequate Rest and Sleep: Proper rest and sleep are crucial for healing and rejuvenating the pancreas.
- Fasting Routine: Try fasting once every 15 days. If possible, do a 12-hour dry fast. If that’s not feasible, a 12-hour water fast or a 36-hour fruit fast can also be beneficial.
Foods to Avoid:
- Mayonnaise, Excess Salt, Sugary Foods and Drinks: These can stress the pancreas and disrupt insulin levels.
- Junk Food and Animal Products: Avoid processed and high-fat animal foods, as they can strain pancreatic function.
Incorporating these habits into your lifestyle can help support a healthier pancreas, heal your pancreatitis, and remove the risk of diabetes.
