Cancer is still a deadly disease. The number of people dying from this disease is increasing every year. The cases of breast cancer in women are increasing manifold. Breast cancer occurs due to poor lifestyle, late marriage and genetic reasons, but now a new study has come out, which has shown that deficiency of Vitamin D can cause the growth of breast cancer. Women who were deficient in Vitamin D had a higher risk of breast cancer than other women.
If Vitamin D is in right quantity then the risk of breast cancer is reduced. In the research of Lancet medical journal, research was done on 5 thousand women. Among women who had good levels of Vitamin D, the risk of breast cancer was found to be less. The growth of cancer cells in the body has been seen to be slow.
In such a situation, experts have said that there should be sufficient amount of Vitamin D in the body to reduce the risk of breast cancer. Researchers have said that the best source of vitamin D is sunlight, but people avoid sunlight. This is the reason why vitamin D deficiency is seen in many people now.
What do experts say
Cancer surgeon Dr. Anurag Kumar says that Vitamin D is good for health. It reduces the risk of breast cancer. However, it is not that if the amount of Vitamin D in the body is good then breast cancer will never occur. There are many other risk factors for cancer. Such as wrong eating habits, late marriage, not breastfeeding the child and genetic reasons.
Sunlight is important for health
Dr. Kamaljeet Singh, a senior physician in Delhi, says that sunlight is very important for good health. This reduces the risk of many diseases, but now the office culture is such that people are not able to consume sunlight. The situation is worse in urban areas. Vitamin D deficiency is being found in every third person due to lack of sunlight. If this vitamin is less then the risk of diseases like cancer also increases.
