Expose yourself to vitamin D

Did you know that approximately 90 percent of your vitamin D comes from the sun? Not from the food you eat, not even from supplements, but from the sunlight.

Numerous studies have shown that those who have a vitamin D deficiency are more prone to developing certain cancers, including breast, colon, ovarian, stomach, and prostate cancer.

Since vitamin D is actually responsible for promoting new cell growth, you should expose yourself to sunlight at least 15 minutes a day. Depriving yourself of sun exposure can translate to other health conditions, too, like high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis, and multiple sclerosis.

However, try to get your daily dose of vitamin D in the morning and avoid overexposure at all costs.
