THE SUN AND VITAMIN D3 FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE!

 THE SUN AND VITAMIN D3 FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE!

1. It’s estimated that about 50% of the population is actually deficient in this vitamin [1];
2. Take at least 10 minutes of sunshine every day that is not raining. The darker the skin, the longer you will have to take the sunbath in order to produce vitamin d. Also, the far away from the equator line, the more time you will have to take the sunbath too [2].  Radiation from the sun stimulates the production of vitamin d3, which is technically a hormone;
3. Vitamin d3 has the important function of regulating about 229 genes [3];
4. Vitamin d3 deficiency is directly related to cardiovascular diseases [4];
5. A high concentration of vitamin d3 in serum is correlated with a 43% reduction in cardiometabolic disorders, including metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease [5];
6. There is an inverse relationship between vitamin d3 concentration and all types of disease mortality [6];
7. Vitamin d3 raises testosterone levels in men [7];
8. In people with heart disease, low levels of vitamin d3 is associated with depression [8];
9. It’s safe to take up until 15.000 IU per day in the form of supplementation without no toxic effect [9], but as disclaimer says always consult your physician before take any supplement.
10. And last bot not least, check out more information about how turmeric can help in cardiovascular diseases and how good CoQ10 is for the heart.
