I know, I know, I just wrapped up my lecture on protecting your eyesight. Do I dare get all up in your face already about what you’re eating and not eating…. drinking and not drinking?
Well, of course I do – I roll like that!
Actually, I’m going to lay my Mother Hen cap down for a moment and turn the platform over to someoen else – allow them to do the lecturing for me. Please visit the following link to learn how Vitamin D prevents breast cancer. Then, go out and load up on milk, cottage cheese, and yogurt. Ooooo, I guess I didn’t take the hat all the way off….
Thanks for the tip. I’m just reading up on breast cancer. That’s what breast cancer awareness month is about, right?
I realize now that knowing the facts is important even when you are young, because there are things women can do to lower the risks.

I am a medical doctor in a holistic practice. Certainly their are supplements that will help to reduce the risk of breast cancer such as the antioxidants found in green tea. However, the most important thing you can do is choose the right kinds of foods to eat every day. Breast feeding your baby will also cut down your risk for developing the disease.

Most people aren’t aware that well over TWO DOZEN different diseases, illnesses and other adverse health conditions are caused in part by vitamin D deficiency.
These are not trivial illnesses either. Fibromyalgia, Alzheimer’s disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, metabolic syndrome and various forms of cancer (including breast cancer) are just a few examples of the many, many disease for which the risk factor for developing said diseases increases in those deficient in vitamin D.
Keep up the great work and continue to inform people about the myriad of diseases that can be staved off by ensuring vitamin D levels are adequate.
