Spinach

Experts from the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke recommend diets high in spinach and leafy green vegetables for the high levels of B vitamins and iron. Why do you need adequate levels of B vitamins to maintain pancreatic health? It was found that vitamin B12 deficiency might cause pancreatitis through the onset of pernicious anemia. In short, get your B vitamins.

Try to consume steamed spinach, spinach sauteed with garlic, or salads mixed with other leafy greens like kale, Swiss chard, broccoli rabe to maximize the benefit.
