Vitamin D, Omega-3 and exercise can reduce cancer risk by 61 per cent, reveals study
India TV NewsA combination of high-dose Vitamin D, Omega-3s, and simple home strength exercises can help reduce cancer risk in healthy adults aged 70 or older by 61 per cent, claims a study. Published in Frontiers in Aging, it is the first study to test the combined benefit of three affordable public health interventions for the prevention of invasive cancers -- that has grown past the original tissue or cells where they developed and spread to otherwise healthy surrounding tissue. Bischoff-Ferrari and her colleagues tested the effect of daily high-dose Vitamin D3, daily supplemental Omega-3s, and a simple home strength exercise, alone and in combination, on the risk of invasive cancer among adults aged 70 or older. Each of the treatments had a small individual benefit but when all three treatments were combined, the benefits became statistically significant, and the researchers saw an overall reduction in cancer risk by 61 per cent.
