Heart Health: For the last few years, the risk of heart disease seems to be increasing continuously. The biggest reason behind this is poor lifestyle and food, not exercising, living a sedentary life. Till now we all have been believing that there is a risk of heart disease due to poor lifestyle, but now a new study has found that vitamin D deficiency also promotes heart disease. There are indications that there is an association between low levels of vitamin D and higher rates of cardiovascular events and stroke. Early last year, Professor Alina Hypolin, director of the Australian Center for Precision Health at the University of South Australia Cancer Research Institute, and her team found evidence that vitamin D deficiency can increase blood pressure and the risk of CVD.
Patients with low levels of vitamin D at risk of heart disease
Till now we all knew that vitamin D deficiency is traditionally associated with bone and muscle weakness, but recent studies show that its deficiency can lead to high blood pressure, congestive heart failure and many heart related diseases. Apart from this, the report of The Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, the official journal of the Academy of Family Physicians in India, revealed that the risk of heart disease was 60% higher in patients with low levels of vitamin D. Also, the Journal of Clinical Hypertension claims that heart failure can be linked to vitamin B deficiency. Although nothing is clear on how vitamin D protects against heart disease.

Studies show that vitamin d3 can repair damage to the heart and blood vessels caused by high blood pressure.
