•
The vitamin D + omega-3 + exercise triad reduces cancer risk by 61% in older adults
Patrick: the DO-HEALTH trial found that combining vitamin D (2000 IU), omega-3 (1g), and a simple exercise program reduced invasive cancer incidence by 61% in adults over 70. No single intervention alone achieved statistical significance — the synergy is key.•
