Heart disease may be associated with a lack of vitamin D. This conclusion was reached by scientists at the University of Bonn. Experts have begun to examine the effect of vitamin D on heart activity in humans after what their theory was confirmed in experiments on animals.

The purpose of this report is to highlight many health benefits of vitamin D and the role of vitamin D deficiency with an increased risk of common serious diseases, including frequent certain types of cancer, diabetes mellitus, I, cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis. Many epidemiological studies suggest that exposure to the sun, which increases the production of vitamin D in the skin, is important in preventing many chronic diseases. Because only few foods contain vitamin D, the sun provides most of the requirements of the organism of vitamin D.

Synthetic vitamin significantly increases the risk of heart disease, at least in diabetes pacients. Study by U.S. experts based on observations of 1923 diabetics, of which over 15 years 281 people died of a heart attack. Then the researchers excluded from the statistics of other known risk factors for circulatory disease, experienced a shock.

It is generally believed that, in atherogenesis has an essential role oxidative stress. Substances with antioxidant action should therefore be the development of atherosclerosis and prevent the occurrence of cardiac events, particularly if they were used in the early phase of atherosclerotic process. But the results of clinical studies are not clear, perhaps because patients enrolled in trials were a variety of advanced atherosclerotic changes or because the doses of vitamin C were not optimal.

A recent study confirmed what many physicians such as Dr. Wright believed for a long time: high-dose vitamin C can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease.

Intake of vitamin C reduces the risk of early re-entry atrial fibrillation in patients after cardioversion. Cardioversion is a treatment method for disabling an arrhythmia. Performed by using a special device-defibrillator, which allows the body to transmit electrical discharge around 200J using two electrodes attached to the chest.

Current research in the journal Circulation * indicates that the fortification of foods with folic acid may reduce the number of deaths from heart attack and stroke by 3 to 4 percent per year. Researchers analyzed death due to heart attack and stroke in people older than 40 years. The research covered the period before the introduction of mandatory fortification of foods with folic acid in the USA and Canada (1990 -1997) as well years after its introduction (1998-2002).

Taking folic acid and vitamin B6 may lead to the prevention of incorporation of fat into vascular wall in those subjects with a higher risk of vascular disease. Conclusions based on studies in patients with heart disease the arteries and high levels of amino acid homocysteine. Although it is very premature to talk ...

Folic acid in particular, younger women may protect against high blood pressure. U.S. researchers found that from Harvard University in Boston in the major study, involving 150,000 participants.
