Fighting cancer is a tough battle, no matter where it occurs in the body. The disease itself--as well as just about every form of treatment for it--can take a heavy physical toll. But patients strive hard to do what it takes to eliminate the malignancy so they can hopefully live for many years afterward as a survivor. To that end, it appears that new research has found a safe and natural way to increase the odds of beating cancer…by increasing our intake of vitamin D.

Good sources of vitamin D include such foods as swordfish (if you don't count the mercury), salmon, and eggs, as well as fortified foods like milk and yogurt.
ReplyDeleteExposure to sunlight helps the body to produce vitamin D as well, but many people avoid the sun or apply sunscreen even if they are going to be outside for a short period, and this prevents our ability to make our own vitamin D.
In fact, a 2008 study at the Australian National University in Canberra found that limited amounts of sun exposure are integral to the prevention of vitamin D deficiency and its related diseases.2 Simply 10 to 15 minutes of sunlight can get vitamin D production in swing without increasing the risk of skin cancer for most people.
