The Lipase enzyme is made by the pancreas as well as secreted from salivary glands, although in very short amounts. Lipase enzymes have been known to break down a lot of dietary food and transform them into fatty acids as well as glycerol. In case there is not enough glycerol present in the system, it would lead to a lot of serious medical conditions, such as nutritional deficiencies and digestive system issues that are very common, such as gastrointestinal bloating.
A Lipase Test is considered to be important because of the blood work that goes into it. The correct amount of lipase in a blood sample should be very low, and anything lower or higher requires medical attention as soon as possible. This can be due to lots of excessive stress that has been building up for quite a while or some other internal conditions that directly affect the pancreas, such as pancreatitis.

Very Poor Lifestyle
Indians have had a very hard time keeping a set diet filled with healthy diets, with most of them adding extremely spicy foods mixed with oily foods that have been shown to increase the levels of Lipase in the body indefinitely.
Levels of Lipase that are considered to be lower than expected are stated to be in less serious than people who have levels of Lipase much higher than average, yet are still capable of being somewhat threatening if not taken care of. Some major conditions that occur whenever there is a lower level of lipase present in the body are: -
· Cystic Fibrosis
· Chronic Pancreatitis
· Insufficiency in the Pancreas.

The average price for a lipase test would be anywhere from Rs. 400 to Rs. 1,000. These would also include certain perks such as home sample collection and even certain health check-up packages.
Have as much water as possible
Water is an essential part of the human body, so always ensure that you are hydrated to the limit in order to prevent excess amounts of Lipase in the body. Make sure that at least 10 glasses of water have been consumed per day.
Say no to deep-fried snacks
Snacks that have large contents of oil or have been fried for an extended period of time have a much higher chance of affecting the pancreas and its functionality due to the excess amount of fat taken in by those snack can increase the production of Lipase unceremoniously.
No alcoholic consumption
Limiting the amount of alcoholic beverages to just one glass may not be enough to prevent the pancreas from being permanently damaged, so make sure that there are no beverages with alcoholic content in them at your house or while you outside in place that sell alcoholic drinks.
Conclusion
The importance of Lipase is not to be undermined by all the other enzymes that are responsible for operating the body with fluidity and grace. This is why whenever the influence of lipase has been affected either by outside sources such as oily foods that are very spicy to alcoholic consumption, it can cause major problems to the body.
This is why learning about lipase is essential for the body to properly being able to work efficiently, to prevent any conditions that can affect the pancreas in the future.
