4. Reduce Cancer Risk
Cancer kills more than 600,000 Americans every year, with the most aggressive forms of cancer being colonic, rectal, and breast cancer. The attributing factors to the development of cancer include environmental toxins, genetic predisposition to the disease, and bad lifestyle habits such as smoking tobacco products. Chemotherapy treatment for cancer destroys the body’s immune function, leaving it exposed to the risk of infection and disease.
Lower your cancer risk by supplementing with cod liver oil and frequent exposure to the sun’s ultra-violet rays. The beneficial Omega-3 essential fatty acids found in a serving of cod liver oil assist in strengthening the immune system, as well as fighting the effects of inflammatory disease. A study on the impact of vitamin D on the immune system suggests that vitamin d has a proapoptotic and antiproliferative effect on breast cancer cells. This effect reduces breast and mammary tumors, preventing the further spread of the disease in the body.
