Vitamin D Perks

For years scientists and researchers have been doing studies on the perks and benefits of Vitamin D. Dermatologists have long been promulgating the importance of Vitamin D for skin health and getting it from outdoor activity in the sun. But now new studies have emerging linking Vitamin D to heart health. The Alternative Health Journal said, "Yet they do say that keeping an adequate amount in the bloodstream doesn't seem unhealthy-and might turn out to be a health ace in the hole. Scientists speculate that low vitamin D levels might lead to calcium build-up in plaque on artery walls or perhaps adversely affect blood pressure or heart muscle contractions." For people with high-risk issues like smoking, obesity and diabetes it is essential to get regular heart scan check-ups. Now it may be a wise decision to get scanned if you have low levels of Vitamin D.
