Combination Of Exercise, Sufficient Vitamin D Levels May Reduce Likelihood Of Heart Attack, Stroke More Than Either One Alone, Research Suggests.

reports that research suggests “a combination of exercise and sufficient vitamin D levels may reduce the risk of serious heart problems more than either one alone.” The “analysis of data spanning 20 years from more than 10,000 US adults found that those who got the recommended amounts of exercise and had adequate vitamin D levels had a 23 percent lower risk of heart attack or stroke.” The study found that individuals “who met physical activity targets but were deficient in” vitamin D “did not have a lower risk.” The findings were published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. https://consumer.healthday.com/cardiovascular-health-information-20/misc-stroke-related-heart-news-360/exercise-and-vitamin-d-a-heart-healthy-combo-722128.html
