(OTL) – According to scientists, vitamin C and E supplements will not help to prevent cancer. The study was headed by Dr. Howard Sesso. His study was conducted on fifteen thousand men over an eight year time frame.
There were two groups involved in the study. Group number one took vitamin E or a placebo every other day. Group number two took vitamin C or a placebo every other day.
In total over the entire span of the study, 1,929 case subjects were diagnosed with cancer. This proves that taking vitamin C and vitamin E regularly does not help to lessen your chances of developing cancer. However, taking vitamins can help you to boost your immune system and help prevent infection and disease. Your body needs a balanced diet in order to have the proper vitamins and minerals that are needed to function properly. You should reduce the amount of stress that is in your life because stress can weaken your immune system. Exercising at least three days a week for a half hour or more can help you stay lean and trim. If you exercise and maintain a healthy weight then you can help to reduce illness and disease because your body will be healthier.
Cancer is a very horrible disease that affects many people throughout the world every single day. Many people try to find ways to reduce their chances of being diagnosed with cancer but no real significant discoveries have been made yet. Hopefully, there will be progress soon in the quest to find ways to help prevent people from being diagnosed with cancer.
