Getting enough of this vitamin, which kills high blood pressure, might be one of the easiest things you\u2019ll do today (seriously!).<\/p>\nGetting enough of this vitamin, which kills high blood pressure, might be one of the easiest things you\u2019ll do today (seriously!).<\/p>\n
\u2026 And for every 10% increase in levels of this vitamin, you\u2019ll be reducing your risk of heart disease by almost 10%.<\/p>\n
How\u2019s that for a good deal?<\/p>\n
A large study examining the effect of vitamin D on high blood pressure was presented at a conference of the European Society of Human Genetics, France. For the research, data from 35 studies involving nearly 146,500 people were analyzed.<\/p>\n
The people analyzed were those of European descent based in Europe and North America.<\/p>\n
It was found that a high level of vitamin D in the blood was associated with lower incidence of high blood pressure. More precisely, every 10 percent increase in vitamin D levels produced an 8 percent decrease in the risk of developing high blood pressure.<\/p>\n
Considering the high costs and side effects of common blood pressure drugs, this comes as welcome news. Statistics reveal that anything from 40 to 75 percent of the population is deficient in this vital vitamin.<\/p>\n
Getting exposed to a moderate amount of sunshine is a good way to get this vitamin. It is also present in foods like eggs, salmon, tuna, milk, yogurt and orange juice. Many cereals and food products add vitamin D too, which can otherwise be obtained through supplements if necessary.<\/p>\n
So, if you suffer from high blood pressure, get your physician to check your vitamin D profile.<\/p>\n
Adding vitamin D to your diet\/supplements can be an easy and simple way to deal with high blood pressure.<\/p>\n
But again, make sure you have your vitamin D level tested before taking supplements. Because too much of a good thing is still too much.<\/p>\n
