does vitamin d reduce stress?
Vitamin D does this so effectively that studies have shown it can reduce inflammation by anywhere up to one third making it just as effective as many medicines available over the counter. As well as stopping inflammation, regular consumption of vitamin D-rich foods can help reduce pain and stress on joints.
Vitamin D is very important for reducing hypertension, atherosclerotic heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. According to Dr. Holick, one study showed that vitamin D deficiency increased the risk of heart attack by 50 percent.
