Pancreatitis is an inflammatory process in the pancreas, provoking its degenerative and destructive changes. A person suffers from indigestion and peristalsis, pain in the epigastric region. Its appearance also deteriorates due to the resulting deficiency of nutrients and biologically active substances. To treat the disease, gastroenterologists prescribe digestive enzymes, anti-inflammatory drugs, and antispasmodics. And as an auxiliary therapy, the use of drinks with medicinal properties is practiced. Green tea for pancreatitis is recommended to eliminate the symptoms of the pathology, improve well-being and speed up recovery.
Green tea
One of the options in this case is green tea. This is due to the normalizing effect of the drink on the quality and quantity of pancreatic secretions. It reduces acidity and restores enzymatic balance. In addition to these qualities, green tea has a number of other positive properties:
- normalizes the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract;
- reduces blood sugar levels;
- the presence of tannin improves the absorption of vitamin C, restores energy reserves;
- Vitamin and mineral composition strengthens the immune system.
Recent studies indicate the antitumor effect of this type of tea. It is important that the drink is made from high-quality raw materials. It is drunk both during the acute and chronic stages of the disease. During the height of symptoms, it is necessary to prepare a weakly concentrated drink and consume it in moderation. A variation of green tea is the Chinese drink Shen Pu'er. It is not at all aggressive to the gland, but if you have pancreatitis, you should not drink it more than twice a day.
Comments
I love tea very much. Can I drink pu-erh tea if I am diagnosed with pancreatitis? I read about its beneficial properties, it is good for the gastrointestinal tract and is also recommended for patients with ulcers and gastritis.
Pu-erh tea is a fermented green tea and is considered one of the mildest in terms of its effect on the body. It does not stimulate gastric secretion, like other green teas, and has a beneficial effect on bile formation and liver function. Regular consumption of pu-erh tea leads to a reduction in excess body weight, normalization of vascular tone and blood pressure. The cholesterol-lowering effect of pu-erh is comparable to the effect of specific medications. However, everything is good in moderation; After all, you won’t drink only pu-erh tea all day long, but 1-2 cups of this tea during the day are quite acceptable for chronic pancreatitis.
Irina, what about green and black tea? At the beginning of the article it is written “But which of them are allowed for patients with pancreatitis?” But there is no answer about black and green.
