Vitamin D3
has been getting some bad press lately.
·
Headlines
making the rounds on mainstream news sites have been misleading at best. Some
have directly contradicted the results of the studies they discuss.
·
Take this
recent example. One outlet’s headline read that supplementing with this vitamin
“may not be worth it.” The story went on to say that the study in question
found no significant decrease in risk of death from cancer when taking D. But
that’s not the whole story.
·
Not even close.
·
The study
actually shows that this vitamin is a potent cancer fighter. Supplementing with
it reduces your overall risk for cancer by as much as 15 percent. And when it
comes to avoiding breast cancer, this is the most important vitamin you can
take.
·
It reduces
breast cancer risk by over 50 percent.
·
If you are
familiar with Health Watch, you
know we are big fans of vitamin D3… and for good reason. It’s a hormonal
precursor that helps your body produce and maintain a proper balance of
hormones. This is critical to fighting breast cancer.
·
Breast
tissue cells have receptors that are in place specifically to absorb vitamin
D3. It helps breast cells divide and replicate normally. Having enough of it
stops cancer cells from growing in the first place. In the event you do begin
to develop breast cancer, D3 stops it from spreading to other parts of your
body. The best part is that you determine how effective this vitamin is.
·
The more
you take, the lower your risk.
·
You can
get a 1,000 IU serving D3 supplement at most health food stores and online.
Make sure that it comes from natural, whole food sources. Speaking of foods,
your best bet for eating more vitamin D3 is fatty fish like wild caught salmon.
A single 4 oz. serving provides you with over 500 IU of D3.
·
Don’t let
the headlines tell you otherwise. Vitamin D3 is one of the most important
supplements you can take for avoiding breast cancer.
