Vitamin D Supplements To Increase Longeivity

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

Vitamin D helps increase your lifespan because it naturally protects you from most kinds of cancer. It also prevents cancer cells from proliferating. One tablet a day, with a potency of 600 IUs, is enough protection against a range of diseases, including cancer and heart disease.

Resarchers from France’s International Agency for Research on Cancer, and the European Institute of Oncology studied the importance of Vitamin D supplementation. They analysed 18 studies, which involved 57,311 participants. They found that those who regularly took a standard vitamin D vitamin every day had a 7 per cent lower risk of death than those who did not.

Where can you get Vitamin D in natural sources of food? Vitamin D is found in milk and yoghurt, eggs, fatty fish and yeast. Your body also naturally produces it when exposed to sunlight.

However, if you do not eat enough of Vitamin D, then by all means, consume a supplement on a daily basis.
