Juices with pancreatitis: freshly squeezed, vegetable, fruit

Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas, which is an important organ in the human body. Its functions include providing digestion, energy metabolism, etc. Its enzymes promote the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, fats in the intestines. Initially, non-active enzymes are synthesized in it, then they enter the duodenum in the duct, where they are activated. In the event that the outflow is disturbed, their activation occurs in the pancreas, instead of digesting food, the tissues of her own are eaten. So there is acute inflammation.
