Sugar & Your Pancreas

Overeating of sugar & refined carbs, taxes the pancreas an eventually paralyzes it's normal activity. The pancreas is responsible for regulating digestion & blood sugar levels. Getting hungry when we shouldn’t, we do not feel fulfilled after we eat, or need a sweet after eating to feel right. If you want to kick the sugar habit, put an emphasis on raw foods, as raw foods stimulate the pancreas. The pancreas is where our sugar is handled to digest foods & your nerves & brain depend on normalcy.
