Get Your Vitamin D To Prevent Breast Cancer

Image: Food rich in vitamin-D

Even though some doctors may argue that exposure to sunlight may increase the risk of skin cancer, now there is evidence from research to say that exposure to sun may decrease your risk of developing breast cancer.

Two new studies have shown that women who get lots of vitamin D are less likely to develop breast cancer. These new studies add stronger evidence to the already existing medical information that, plenty of vitamin-D may prevent breast cancer.

One of these studies have found that women who have high levels of vitamin D has about 50 percent lower risk of developing breast cancer. The second study from Canada has shown that women who spent time outdoors or got a lot of vitamin D from their diets or supplements (especially as teens) were 25 percent to 45 percent less likely to develop breast cancer than women compared to women who have lower levels of vitamin-D.

Exposure to vitamin D at the time breasts are developing, particularly around adolescence is very important as per the lead researcher Julia Knight of Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.

I am not advocating over-exposure to sunlight for prevention of breast cancer. Moderate amount of sun-exposure is helpful in creating enough vitamin-D stores in the body. This could be supplemented by vitamin D intake. It's may be important to make sure that you or your daughter has adequate vitamin D stores in the body during the teen-age years.
