It’s good to be yellow
Curcumin, the yellow stuff in turmeric, may destroy tumor cells, it is believed. When researchers added the substance to cancerous pancreatic cells, production practically shut down- thanks to a clampdown on cytokines, chemicals linked to tumor growth and cell survival. Our traditional fare after a workout may make you feel a whole lot better.
Pancreas- protective foods
Apart from turmeric, when you want healthy, happy pancreas, you’ve got plenty of foods to choose from. Try these, for instance: Onion and salad leaves. They’re very tasty in sandwiches and pack special cancer- clubbing flavonols into your body. Also, fish, eggs and poultry are better choices for your pancreas than processed meats, as are D- fortified cereals and dairy.
