Pancreatitis - what is it?
Pancreatitis is an inflammatory process that occurs in the pancreas. This organ secretes special digestive enzymes into the small intestinal tract, and also produces insulin and glucagon. The pancreas can be damaged when the enzymes it produces have been activated before entering the intestinal tract.
There are two possible forms of pancreatitis:
- Sharp - a sudden inflammatory process lasting a short period of time.
- Chronic - constant inflammation of the organ, most often arising after acute pancreatitis.
There are many symptoms of pancreatitis and bloating, nausea, problems with stools, loss of appetite, etc. can be distinguished. also many factors can lead to the development of this disease. This can be gallstone disease, coffee abuse, smoking, metabolic disorders, etc. pancreatitis is a rather serious disease, due to which the body cannot fully absorb nutrients.
How to eat and exercise for pancreatitis?
Nutrition
Since pancreatitis is directly related to the digestive system, special attention should be paid to nutrition in this disease. Scientists have found that antioxidant supplementation can help reduce the symptoms of pancreatin. For this reason, you need to consume as many fruits and green vegetables as possible. You also need to adhere to the following nutritional rules:
- Eat more foods that contain vitamins and minerals.
- Eliminate the highs from the diet of refined foods.
- Eat more white meat (chicken, rabbit) and less red.
- Eat lean fish.
- Use vegetable oils as salad dressings.
- Dairy products should only be eaten without fat.
- Do not consume coffee, chips, etc.
It is also important to remember that your diet is very limited, and for this reason it is necessary to introduce into the diet of vitamin-mineral complexes, omega-3 drugs such as mezim containing digestive enzymes, etc. Speaking about nutrition, it is difficult not to say a few words about sports nutrition. Everyone understands that it is very difficult to gain weight without special additives. For this reason, you should opt for fast-digesting protein blends. When preparing protein shakes, it is best to use water to dissolve the powder. Amino acid complexes, including BCAAs, act in a similar way to protein in the body, and for this reason you can use them. But creatine is better to exclude, since scientists have proven the negative effect of this supplement on the pancreas in pancreatitis.
If you, suffering from pancreatitis, want to get rid of fat, then you should use the following ratio of essential nutrients (protein compounds / fats / carbohydrates) -40-45 / 35-35 / 35-45 percent.
Training
With pancreatitis, you no longer have to work in the classroom in the same way. When drawing up a training program, an individual approach is also required here, but you can give several general recommendations:
- Move more to stimulate the use of blood glucose and lower insulin production.
- Exercise four to five times a week for half an hour.
- Use fat burning training, as even eliminating 5 percent of the fat mass helps to improve the functioning of the pancreas.
- Use medium weights.
- Eliminate squats and leg presses and other exercises that increase intra-abdominal pressure from your program.
- Try not to use a weightlifting belt.
- Eat a heavy meal at least an hour and a half before class.
These are the recommendations you can give when discussing the topic of pancreatitis and bodybuilding.
