The Role of Vitamin D in Cancer Recovery during Winter

Vitamin D plays a crucial role in cancer recovery, particularly during the winter months when sunlight exposure is limited. Sunlight is a primary source of Vitamin D, and lower levels in winter can lead to deficiency, which may impact immune function and overall health. Research suggests that Vitamin D helps regulate cell growth, reduce inflammation, and promote apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells. It also strengthens the immune system, aiding the body in fighting off infections during recovery. Maintaining adequate Vitamin D levels through supplements or fortified foods can support cancer patients’ recovery and improve treatment outcomes in winter.
