What Has Vitamin D Effects On Diabetes and Heart Disease Patient

According to a research team by Warwick Medical School, Vitamin D plays an important role in preventing Diabetes and Heart Disease by up to 43%.

In their research, Vitamin D has been tested on 100,000 middle aged to elderly people in 28 studies. Those who were found with lower level of Vitamin D were at greater risk of being diabetic and with heart disease.

Another medical journal: Maturitas report that those who have higher level of Vitamin D has 33% less likely to have cardiovascular disease when compare with those who have low level of Vitamin D. The report also reveal that higher level of Vitamin D could reduce up to 55% of Type 2 diabetes.

Vitamin D is practically free when we expose ourselves to the sun. An hour a week of exposure to the sun is enough to transform it into our Vitamin D needs. This Vitamin is not yet fully understood due to the complexity but it has already proven even more effective in:

• reduce the growth of cancerous cells

• boost up the functions of blood vessels and

• to enhance the immune system

Although Vitamin D is harvestable from exposure to the sun, some countries in the very northern or southern part of the World may not have the privileged. Being sun-less for 3 months or so is not going to help to reduce diabetes and heart disease in this case. Supplementing with artificial Vitamin D is the answer.

However, overdose of Vitamin D from artificial supplement may have an adverse effect of your health. The side effect are:

• possible damage to the liver

• possible damage to the kidney and

• may weaken the bone due to excessive calcium absorption

The best chances is still from the natural source and of course that is from the Sun.
