A lack of vitamin D, a nutrient that is generated primarily through
exposure to sunlight, helps boost the risk of heart attacks and strokes.


Experts
estimate that up to half of adults and 30 percent of children and
teenagers in the United States are vitamin D-deficient. There is a wide
array of studies linking increased cardiovascular risk with vitamin D
deficiency. For example, recent data from the long-running Framingham
Heart Study indicated that someone with vitamin D levels below 15
nanograms per milliliter of blood is twice as likely to suffer a heart
attack, stroke or other cardiovascular problem within two years
compared to those with higher levels.

Vitamin D is well known as the “sunshine vitamin” because human skin makes the nutrient upon exposure to sunlight
