Keeping Your Body Healthy

Within the last half a century research has been carried out to study the link between the effects that vitamin D has on cancer risks. In search of this, scientists, in the 1950s, looked at weather conditions and health figures in warmer areas of the world to establish that places with more sunshine provides more vitamin D, which was the explanation given for the lowest death rates from colon cancers in those areas. Many studies since then have established the existence of a positive link between vitamin D and calcium and the prevention of cancer, right from prostrate cancer to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This is predominantly true in cases of breast cancers.
