There is an ever growing number of studies that point to a particular nutrient being especially beneficial in lowering your risk of breast cancer. The nutrient is our little friend D!
One study found that women who got the most calcium and D had a 35 percent lower risk than those who got the least. That's a pretty decent leg up wouldn't you say?? According to other stats on us chicks, apparently nearly 75 percent of us have insufficient levels of this boob friendly little buddy. Say what?? This needs rectum-fying asap missus! Fatty fish such as salmon are natural sources of this guy as well as some fortified dairy products, but to ensure you're getting enough hook yourself up with 1000IU daily!
And you know what else, cause I'm all about the 'what have you done for me lately'....Vitamin D brings more to the table than protecting your boobs! Here's a shout out for D.....PROPS!!
Arm the immune system against disorders like the common cold.
Reduce the risk of developing M.S.
Help the brain to keep working well later in life.
Vitamin D is linked to maintaining a healthy body weight....HELLOOOOOO!!!
It can reduce the severity and frequency of asthma attacks.
It is also one of our body's protections against damage from low level radiation.
CONVINCED YET???
I thought so.
Off to get some are you? Atta girl!




And knowing is half the battle! Thanks Jessica!!!
