How vitamin D can help in fight against cancer

There are many health benefits obtained through vitamin D, which is produced by the body being exposed to sunlight. Even a few minutes a day on sunlight will help your body to create vitamin D, that's helpful in many ways.

In various studies of cancer cells, vitamin D has shown some tendency to act against cancer cells in a couple of ways:

• Vitamin D tends to be active in decreasing growth of cancer cells 
• It also helps to stimulate cancer cells dying 
• And it inhibited tumour cells ability to grow new blood vessels. 

All this results in reducing the risk from cancer.

The majority of vitamin D is produced by the body exposed to sunlight, but you still needs to get raw vitamin D from food sources, such as milk, eggs, breakfast cereals, seafood, meats and oils.

• people who took vitamin D supplement had 17% less risk to develop advanced cancer 
• people who took vitamin D and maintained good body weight had 38% less risk to develop cancer 
• people who were overweight or obese had no risk reducation from cancer.
