Did you know that the pancreas , in addition to secreting enzymes to have a good digestion, helps you regulate your glucose levels to prevent the development of diabetes?

However, there are some habits that damage your pancreas without you noticing, so it is important that you identify them in time to take care of your health.

Do not do it anymore!

1. Eat excess fats

According to the American Cancer Society , a diet rich in red and processed meats, as well as saturated fats increases the risk of developing pancreatic cancer.

2. Do not take care of triglycerides

Having high levels of a fat called triglycerides (hypertriglyceridemia) puts your pancreas at risk of developing pancreatitis.

3. Ingest medications in excess

The use of medications containing estrogens, corticosteroids, sulfonamides, thiazides and azathioprine favor the development of acute pancreatitis.
