Now that it is Spring I am thinking of sun shine. I have done a lot of research on this topic and found many other sources that back this article up. This isn't the only kind of cancer that could be listed here either.
Exposure to sunlight may reduce your risk of advanced breast cancer, according to new research from Stanford University.
The study followed 4,000 women between the ages of 35 and 79, and evaluated the effects of long-term sun exposure. Women with a light skin color who had high sun exposure had half the risk of developing advanced breast cancer (cancer that has spread beyond the breast) as women with low sun exposure.
High sun exposure was defined as having dark skin on your forehead, since your forehead is typically exposed to the sun often.
Sun exposure may work to prevent cancer because it increases the levels of vitamin D in your body. While you can get some vitamin D from your diet, up to 90 percent comes from your exposure to sunlight.
