Vitamin D: What role in obesity-related cancer?
Summary: Being overweight can increase your chances of getting cancer. Luckily, Vitamin D can help fight back! It works like a shield against some of the bad effects of extra body fat by lowering inflammation and stress in your cells. However, there is a catch: extra fat can trap Vitamin D, making it harder for your body to absorb and use it. While taking Vitamin D won't cure obesity, it is a great helper in lowering your overall cancer risk.
