How to Juice for Health for the Pancreas

Juicing is an increasingly popular health alternative to dieting. Some people prefer drinking juiced fresh fruits and vegetables over eating them in their natural state. Others believe juicing provides a better method for your body to absorb the nutrients. However, according to MayoClinic.com, no scientific evidence backs the claims that juicing is better than consuming whole fruits and vegetables. Whatever the case, certain foods are beneficial for pancreatic health and can be juiced, if you prefer.

Make a juice with dark, leafy vegetables, such as spinach. According to research published in “Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention,” dark, leafy vegetables decreased the risk of pancreatic cancer in a study in the late 1990s. All fruits and vegetables provided some sort of protection, but leafy vegetable offered the best protection.
