But I don’t eat fatty foods. — And I’ve almost given up sweets. — So why do I feel heaviness after eating, a feeling of pressure under my ribs, and spikes in my blood sugar?
If you recognize yourself in these words, your pancreas is probably already on its last legs. Or maybe it’s simply exhausted.
And the most shocking thing is that we often end it ourselves with products that seem completely harmless to us.
As long as it’s silent, we don’t think about it. And when it starts sending us signals—pain, heaviness, blood sugar fluctuations—it’s sometimes already too late. The pancreas resists for a long time, doesn’t complain, but if it “breaks,” the consequences affect the entire body.
Why does the pancreas become vulnerable after age 45?
-
Hormonal changes
-
Metabolism slows down
-
Reduces enzyme production
-
Digestion becomes more sensitive
-
Chronic inflammations appear
And we still eat “like before,” even though those familiar foods that once seemed neutral may now be harmful.
Check yourself: is your pancreas healthy?
Answer “yes” or “no” to the following questions:
— Do you often feel heaviness even after a simple meal?
— Have you experienced bloating, rumbling, or discomfort in your upper abdomen?
— Does your blood sugar sometimes “jump” even when you haven’t eaten anything sweet?
— Do you crave something sweet or overeat in the evening?
— Do you feel nauseous or have a strange taste in your mouth after eating.
