Vitamin D
can slow cancer progression, study concludes a recent study conducted by The Mayo Clinic suggests a strong link between vitamin D levels and cancer progression in lymphoma patients. Researchers studied 374 patients who were recently diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, half of whom had insufficient levels of vitamin D. Patients who were deficient in the vitamin had a 50 percent greater risk of cancer progression and a two-fold greater risk of death compared to those with optimal levels of the compound.

Vitamin D
Known as the sunshine vitamin, the body can make vitamin D from casual sun exposure. Or you can consume vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium, in the form of fatty fish, egg yolks and fortified milk. You can also get it through many brands of orange juice.
Like most vitamins, vitamin D may be obtained in the recommended amount with a well-balanced diet, including some enriched or fortified foods. In addition, the body manufactures vitamin D when exposed to sunshine, and it is recommended people get 10 to 15 minutes of sunshine 3 times a week.
