Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor, which is often found to be at an advanced stage, and ordinary chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other methods have limited effect on it. Therefore, scientists continue to work hard to explore the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer, hoping to find a new breakthrough. Recently, a study revealed a key finding: elevated insulin is one of the important causes of pancreatic cancer.
Insulin is a hormone secreted by pancreatic islet cells whose main function is to regulate blood sugar levels. When we consume food, insulin prompts cells to take up glucose and convert it into energy. However, when there is oversecretion of insulin or hypersensitivity, blood sugar levels will remain low, which can lead to increased feedback secretion of insulin from the pancreas. With the excessive secretion of insulin, the self-regulation mechanism of cells is also damaged, which in turn increases the living space of cancer cells.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the smooth flow of qi and blood in the human body is closely related to the occurrence and development of diseases, and pancreatic cancer is no exception. Traditional Chinese medicine experience tells us that pancreatic cancer is often related to the imbalance of yin and yang in the body. In TCM theory, yin and yang are opposites and unifying relationships, and when the balance of yin and yang in the body is broken, pathology may occur. Therefore, in the process of pancreatic cancer, Chinese medicine focuses on regulating qi and blood to achieve the goal of yin and yang balance.
According to the experience of traditional Chinese medicine, long-term dietary habits Xi mood swings can lead to yin and yang imbalances in the body, which will affect the normal function of the pancreas. Therefore, in daily life, we should pay attention to adjusting our diet, choosing foods rich in fiber and antioxidants, and avoiding excessive intake of high-sugar and high-fat foods. In addition, maintaining a good psychological state and not being overly nervous and anxious also has a positive effect on the prevention and prevention of pancreatic cancer.
When it comes to pancreatic cancer in traditional Chinese medicine, ancient and modern Chinese medicine prescriptions provide many viable options. For example, astragalus, coptis and other medicinal materials that have the ability to replenish qi and rejuvenate the body, clear away heat and detoxify, and are often used to regulate the balance of yin and yang in the body and promote the improvement of the condition. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine such as acupuncture and massage** can also enhance the body's immunity and improve the ability to fight tumors by adjusting the flow of qi and blood in the meridians.
The pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer is very complex, and in the process, the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine can provide patients with a more comprehensive and individualized plan. By improving living Xi habits, adjusting dietary structure, and traditional Chinese medicine, we are expected to better prevent pancreatic cancer and bring hope to patients.
