Vitamin D
Research reveals that people with high blood pressure are more likely to have lower levels of vitamin D than those without the condition.
Studies also demonstrate that when there is a high amount of vitamin D in the blood, it protects the body against high blood pressure.
A review of information in over 300, 000 people found that people with the highest vitamin D levels had up to 30% decreased chances of having high blood pressure, compared with those with the lowest levels.
Therefore, people with high blood pressure should always check their vitamin D levels.
