Nowadays, more and more women can be attacked by breast cancer. Breast cancer can be caused by various reasons, such as the unhealthy lifestyle and the unhealthy diet. In fact, malnutrition can also cause breast cancer. According to the latest research, the deficiency of vitamin D is a potential factor of the formation of breast cancer. 

In the research, the researchers have gathered the blood samples from more than 100 patients with breast cancer and investigated the contents of vitamin D in the blood samples. As a result, they have found that nearly 50% of the patients are troubled by the deficiency of vitamin D. Therefore, the deficiency of vitamin D can be a potential factor to induce breast cancer.

Various foods like beef and mushroom contain abundant vitamin D. People can moderately increase the intake of such foods to supplement the nutrient in their daily life. At the same time, people can bask in the sun moderately to enhance the production of the nutrient in their bodies. According to the research, vitamin D plays an important role in adjusting the reproduction of cells. If the excessive reproduction of cells can be controlled, some cancers can be effectively prevented.

In fact, the adequate supplementation of vitamin D can not only prevent breast cancer, but also improve the bones for human body to prevent rickets and osteoporosis. What’s more, if people supplement adequate vitamin D for themselves, some other diseases like heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and dementia praecox can all be prevented. Take diabetes as an example. If we are attacked by diabetes, the cells in our bodies can be killed by the immune system. However, vitamin D can effectively prevent the damage to the cells caused by the immune system. The experts think that the nutrient can probably prevent the excessive response of the immune system.

Although the deficiency of vitamin D keeps a close relationship with breast cancer, it does not mean that people should always supplement the nutrient. The supplementation of the nutrient should be controlled strictly, as the excessive supplementation can cause poisoning. The symptoms of poisoning mainly include anorexia, diarrhea, vomiting, frequent micturition, and so on. It is necessary for people to control the absorption of vitamin D within 5 micrograms every day. In addition, people who always live in a polluted area or often work at night should pay attention to the supplementation of the nutrient.
