Garlic is a vegetable of the allium species which boasts of many health benefits and nutritive qualities. Concerning the pancreas, garlic consumption is believed to prevent cancerous tumors since it contains sulfur, flavonoids, arginine, selenium, and oligosaccharides which are all carcinogen-fighting micronutrients. Also, garlic aids the efficacy of the pancreatic digestive function by ensuring that controlled amounts of insulin are released. Garlic allows for an increase in insulin production and a decrease in blood sugar levels. Thus, consuming it will help keep the pancreas in optimal condition. Since eating raw garlic is an unappealing prospect, it may be taken in chopped fashion with water or even grated in honey overnight.
