Ahh, the feeling of the sun's rays on the skin can be so refreshing. Well, as long as you keep that exposure to a certain level and don't overdo it during the bright afternoon hours. A nice side benefit? Sunlight helps your body naturally produce its own Vitamin D.But did you know that getting the proper amount of daily vitamin D may help you ward of cancer as well? In a recent spate of research, scientists found that 250,000 cases of colorectal cancer and 350,000 cases of breast cancer could be prevented every year around the world by having those affected with these cancers increase their vitamin D intake. Specifically, vitamin D3.
