Pancreatic Awareness Day ?? Today, we shine a light on pancreatic health and raise awareness about pancreatic cancer. Understanding the signs and taking proactive steps can make a difference. 3 Facts of the Pancreas: ? The pancreas has both digestive (exocrine) and hormonal (endocrine) functions, producing enzymes and hormones like insulin. ? It is located behind the stomach and measures about 6 to 10 inches long. ? Pancreatic cancer often shows no symptoms in its early stages, making early detection challenging. 3 Signs of Pancreatic Issues: ? Unexplained Weight Loss: Sudden weight loss without trying could be a red flag. ? Abdominal Pain: Persistent pain in the upper abdomen or back that doesn’t go away. ? Jaundice: Yellowing of the skin and eyes, which may indicate a blockage in the bile duct. 3 Ways to Keep Your Pancreas Healthy: ? Eat a Balanced Diet ? Stay Hydrated ? Exercise Regularly Let’s raise awareness and promote pancreatic health together! #PancreaticAwarenessDay #PancreaticHealth
