If our diet is really high in fat, our pancreas has to produce a greater amount of digestive juices.
But what happens over time is the pancreas gets worn out.
This precious organ inside of us, precious glands, part of the endocrine system,
gets very tired the more fat we eat over time.
And we age quicker if our pancreas ages.
It produces insulin to bring sugar into your cells.
but all the fats that we keep on eating block that insulin from getting into our cells.
So then the pancreas has to produce more insulin and more insulin.
Eventually, we get pancreatic problems that result in all kinds of different symptoms
that we don't even realize are our pancreas, including gastric cramps, pain in our back,
pain in our stomach, and extra bloating.
Our pancreas plays a role in all of that.
