If you want to live longer, make sure you practise your anti aging with oily fish, eggs, milk and sunshine.

This major European study by the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France, and the European Institute of Oncology in Milan, Italy, found those who had good levels of vitamin D had a 7% lower risk of death than those that didn’t. Vitamin D can come from various sources that assist anti aging with oily fish, eggs, milk and sunshine being the best sources, rather than supplements.
Coming from research based on such a large sample, confirms what was already suspected, although only partly understood: vitamin D tends to slow the rate of cancer cell growth, as well as bolster the immune system.
Vitamin D is produced by the action on sunlight on the skin.
Although your store of vitamin D, built up in the summer months, last for quite a while after the summer sun fades, getting a reasonable amount of sunshine during winter months in the more northerly or southerly latitudes can be a problem. And a recent study by American scientists links the lack of winter sunshine in northern Europe to an increase in cancers.
Fortunately, oily fish, eggs, milk are also sources of vitamin D and are available all year round. So make sure your anti aging diet includes these vital winter foods to help mainatain bolster your winter levels of this vital vitamin.
