6 health risks you can take down with vitamin D
#6 – Heart Disease
If you’re worried about your heart and keeping it healthy, vitamin D is a must-have.
That’s because scientific studies have shown that low vitamin D levels go hand-in-hand with heart disease, hypertension, heart attacks, and strokes.
And, further research has shown that the vitamin may even have the power to reverse damage to the heart and preserve cardiovascular health.
It does it by triggering nitric oxide, a molecule in your blood vessels that helps increase blood flow and decrease clot formation, and by decreasing the oxidative stress caused by free radicals in the lining of your vessels.
With all of the benefits vitamin D delivers to your health, don’t wait. Have your levels checked today and get more D daily either by adding in a high-quality supplement or spending a little more time in the sun to increase your body’s own natural production of the sunshine vitamin.
