D-Fuse CVD
by Becky Holman
Itâs no secret that cardiovascular disease is a bigâif not the biggestâhealth problem. Upping your vitamin D intake can help. According to a presentation at the American Heart Association Scientific Conference, low counts of vitamin D can:
⢠double the risk of heart failure.
⢠increase the risk of stroke by 78 percent.
⢠increase the risk of coronary artery disease by 45 percent.
Those conclusions were reached after researchers studied more than 27,000 people aged 50 or older. Oh, one more stat: Being low in vitamin D can increase your risk of death by 77 percent. Get out in the sun or take vitamin D supplementsâabout 5,000 international units per day.
