Want to significantly decrease your chances of a heart attack?
Maintaining sufficient Vitamin D will do that according to a recent study. Modern life puts us inside more than out, which could lead many to have chronic low levels even in summer. This study showed even slightly low levels could elevate your risk. Are you getting the recommended daily dose of vitamin D? That may not be enough:
“Vitamin D deficiency has been related to an increasing number of conditions and to total mortality. These results further support an important role for vitamin D in myocardial infarction risk,” the authors conclude. “Thus, the present findings add further support that the current dietary requirements of vitamin D need to be increased to have an effect on circulating 25(OH)D [vitamin D] levels substantially large enough for potential health benefits.” - from ScienceDaily.com
Here is an earlier post I did on Vit D that gives you some guide lines.
