5 vitamins linked to lower colon cancer riskI think it’s safe to say we all wish we knew the answer to completely avoiding cancer, full stop. While we’re sadly a ways off from that, we do know certain habits can have a positive impact on cancer risk and how resilient our bodies are.
New research found 5 nutrients may play a meaningful role:¹
- Compared with people who consumed lower amounts, those who consumed more vitamins A, B6, D, and E through diet were less likely to develop colorectal cancer.
- People who consumed more of these vitamins also tended to eat more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, exercise more, and have higher overall diet-quality. Those habits could have (and I would say likely) contributed to the positive results as well.
Unfortunately, there are no guarantees of avoiding cancer, but we can learn from research like this and try to give our bodies the right inputs for staying strong.
To learn which foods offer each of these protective nutrients, read more here.

A wellness-focused approach to an all-inclusive |
|
 |
At Paradisus Cancun, I found a different way to think about all-inclusive travel. Wellness isn’t something you squeeze into your itinerary mid-trip; it’s woven into the entire experience.
Instead of letting my usual routines disappear in the name of fun, I could build my days around the things that make me feel good: moving my body, eating well, getting outside, and actually slowing down.
The result? A vacation that feels less like escaping my routine—and more like resetting it.
My top recommendations at Paradisus Cancun:
I came home feeling refreshed, restored, and inspired to bring a little more of that balance home with me from Paradisus Cancun. Prioritizing well-being doesn’t mean putting your vacation on pause—it means making the most of it. |

If you do one thing…walk a little longerWalking does a lot for us, and it turns out it takes less than you probably thought to support a healthy brain while you age:
- Those who got at least 13 continuous minutes of moderate-to-vigorous walking had a 72% lower risk of dementia 7.5 years later than those who got none.²
- 36 minutes of that level of walking led to around 50% less risk of depression and anxiety.
- A possible reason could be that longer bouts of moderate-to-vigorous activity were associated with larger hippocampal volume, and the hippocampus is heavily involved in learning and memory.
