Take your multi or good to the sun

What it does: Helps your small intestine absorb calcium and phosphorus. Keeps your bones strong. May reduce your chance of developing prostate cancer or colon cancer.

Where you get it: Food and sunlight. Photons from UV rays help convert nutrients you've eaten into vitamin D, sort of like photosynthesis. You also get boosts of vitamin D from milk, cereal, fish, and eggs.

How much you need: 5 micrograms a day, minimum. That's 2 ounces of salmon, or 16 ounces of fat-free milk.

I have a friend with cancer - 9 years now - he's never done chemo. He's used fairly large doses of vitamin d (his daughter's a doctor, so she makes sure these aren't toxic levels), frequent swims in the ocean (along with a little sunning), and a high fat/low carb diet to keep the cancer at bay. Very amazing person - been weight training for 50+ years and looks 15 years younger than he is, even with cancer.
