Note Disease Prevention and the Role of Vitamins and Minerals We're learning more about the importance of vitamins and minerals to our health: a review article published in the Journal of American Medical Association emphasized that many people are not getting the nutrients they need from their diet. Further, low intake of certain vitamins can be a risk factor for serious chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, some eye diseases and osteoporosis. Cardiovascular disease: is the leading cause of death among Canadians. Certain nutrients are known to help reduce that risk - higher intakes of lycopene, folic acid, vitamin B6 and B12 may protect from heart disease. Lycopene is an antioxidant that neutralizes destructive free radicals in our body, folic acid and vitamin B6 and B12 reduces homocysteine levels, another risk factor for Cardiovascular disease. Eye-related disease: such as age-related muscular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts, affect millions of Canadians, especially those over age 50. Lutein, a powerful antioxidant, may reduce the risk of AMD and cataracts; vitamins C and E also lower the incidents of cataract. Breast, colon and prostate cancer: are among the most frequently diagnosed in Canadians. Breast cancer affects one woman in nine, so it's important to know that higher intakes of vitamin B12, vitamin D and folic acid are associated with lower rates of breast cancer. Prostate cancer is a growing threat to men, affecting one in seven; high lycopene and selenium intake are beneficial to prostate health. And colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death; key nutrients for colon health include vitamin D and folic acid. Osteoporosis: Is characterized by low bone mass; while bones need calcium to stay healthy, vitamin D also plays an important role, helping the body to absorb calcium. Most Canadians are deficient in vitamin D, especially during winter when there's less exposure to sunlight.
