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
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
