This video, hosted by Barbara O'Neill, focuses on the critical role of the pancreas in digestion and blood sugar regulation. It details the pancreas's exocrine functions (producing digestive enzymes and bicarbonate) and endocrine functions (producing insulin and glucagon). The video highlights foods and habits that harm the pancreas, such as refined sugars and processed foods, and recommends beneficial foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and healthy fats. It also emphasizes the importance of exercise, hydration, stress management, and certain herbs for maintaining pancreatic health.
