The benefits of vitamin D have long been known, and there is no better way to get it than to let the sunshine provide it to you. Vitamin D has been linked to lowering blood pressure and treating or preventing Crohn's disease, and it can alleviate symptoms of fatigue and multiple sclerosis, among other health problems.
That said, vitamin D has been particularly successful in helping women combat breast cancer, say scientists [http://www.naturalnews.com]. And now, new research says that higher levels of vitamin D can actually double a breast cancer patient's chances of survival.
The study was recently published in the journal Anticancer Research.
