Research clearly shows the benefits associated with vitamin D, diets with balanced pro and anti-inflammatory fatty acids, and exercise
Key Points
Research has shown that taking steps to reducing and managing inflammation, including increasing vitamin D, omega-3s, and exercising, can help decrease cancer risk and improve outcomes
The DO-HEALTH trial found that supplementation with vitamin D resulted in a decreased cancer risk, and was more effective when combined with omega-3 supplements, exercise, or both; all 3 resulted in a 65% decreased risk of invasive cancer
Another study found that breast cancer survivors who implemented a vitamin D, Med Diet, and exercise plan experienced increases in global health status, physical health status, social and role functioning, body image, future perspective, and well-being; they also experienced reductions in fatigue, digestive issues, systematic side effects from therapy, and breast symptoms

Apparently vitamins like vitamin D don’t have the health benefits we think they do. But maybe scientists will change their mind on that after the next batch of research, Josh Freed writes.
Salon owners – it's time to join forces and make a mark in the tanning industry. To maintain and develop a prosperous indoor tanning industry in Canada by educating Canadians on how to maximize the benefits while minimizing the manageable risks of responsible UV exposure. We will pursue continuous improvement of the perception of tanning amongst Canadians through scientific facts and research that support indoor tanning as an intelligent, controlled choice for UV exposure.
