Most people these days suffer from high blood pressure. Also known as hypertension, this condition puts too much stress on blood vessels and vital organs and this can even prove to be deadly for people as it increases the risk of getting heart attacks and strokes. But now, a new study has claimed that you can lower the risk of developing hypertension by regularly taking vitamin D supplements.



A dietitian said that vitamin D could have links to blood pressure which is why people who have higher levels of vitamin D in their bodies are more likely to have low blood pressure. To increase the levels of vitamin D in your body you could either take vitamin D supplements or you could consume foods that are rich in vitamin D. “A lot of things we consume has an effect on our blood pressure, so it is vital to change your diet if you are suffering from high blood pressure,” the researcher said.



“High blood pressure can often go unnoticed for several years, so it is important that you check your values if you are concerned as if it goes untreated it can damages arteries, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. A sign that you may be deficient in vitamin D is if you have high blood pressure," she concluded. Well, we suggest you opt for this since it happens to be an easy way of keeping your blood pressure under control.
