Pack some onions and arugula betwixt your veggie or turkey burger and bun today. It's a delicious way to help protect your pancreas.
Seems these two veggies not only add tasty, gourmet-style crunch to food but also fill you up with potent nutrients thought to help thwart pancreatic cancer.
Dynamic Trio:
In an 8-year study, people who consumed the highest levels of three powerful flavonols -- kaempferol, quercetin, and myricetin -- reduced their risk of pancreatic cancer by 23 percent. Not too shabby. And no doubt due to the fact that this super trio of flavonols helps quell oxidative stress, a cell-damaging process that, left unchecked, may pave the way for cancer and other bad health news.
Other Super Sources: Onions and certain leafy greens like arugula are one way to get these particular flavonols.
Here are some others:
Kaempferol: kale, swiss chard, endive, raw spinach, chives, and white beans
Quercetin: asparagus, apples, buckwheat, and tea
Myricetin: fennel, blueberries, cranberries, and carob flour
Flavonols and pancreatic cancer risk: the multiethnic cohort study. Nothlings, U., Murphy, S. P., Wilkens, L. R., Henderson, B. E., Kolonel, L. N., American Journal of Epidemiology 2007 Oct 15;166(8):924-931.
