I received an email from real age and the following was suggested to prevent pancreas cancer, we should integrate them into our diets. What do you think?

You're a giant step ahead of pancreatic cancer if you eat loads of veggies every day. In fact, eat enough (nine servings instead of five) and you could cut your risk in half.
Now go one better, and get a sampling of specific veggies from a recently researched list of key produce picks for pancreas health.
5 Picks for Your Pancreas
What is it about the veggies below that makes them the mortal enemy of pancreatic cancer? Take your pick. They're loaded with everything from vitamin C and carotenoids to folate and fiber. (See how much with this online tool.)
Dark, leafy greens like spinach, kale, mustard, and chard
Cruciferous veggies like broccoli and brussels sprouts
Orange-yellow veggies like corn, squash, sweet potatoes, and carrots
Beans like soybeans, lima beans, and lentils
Alum veggies, specifically onions and garlic
The Easiest Way to Get There
So how do you get something from each of the five groups into your diet? Easy! Have soup and salad for lunch.

I am glad for you that you follow a balanced diet. I love Shaklee too, I am taking the Vita-Lea for women as a vitamin supplement.

I don't think it's that hard to get those things into our diets. The biggest problem most of us face is that we prefer the taste of junk food (including most of what's on the grocery shelves) to real vegetables, which is what these are.
Leafy vegetables should be eaten often anyway and we know that brightly colored vegetables are better for us. Side dishes of mixed vegetables (broccoli and carrots, for instance), along with a main dish of beans or lentils in which we've added onions and/or garlic and that covers a whole lot of what we need.
It's a matter of habit, I think.

You are right, it's a matter of habit! I am not that vegetable lover but I am trying to eat more vegetables and fruits into my diet and since I am diabetic I need to prevent pancreas cancer or a disorder. Thanks for commenting.
