They state that there is evidence to suggest that vitamin D may decrease insulin resistance, which has been linked to depression in previous studies. <\/p>\n<p>It has been proven that women tend to have poorer blood sugar control and greater rates of anxiety than men with diabetes. <\/p>\n<p>Recent studies have also found that vitamin D may provide protection from high blood pressure and several autoimmune diseases.  <br \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-1961-ID-19651924-ADNFCR\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.directnews.co.uk\/feedtrack\/justcopyright.gif?feedid=1961&amp;itemid=19651924\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a recent study, a daily dose of vitamin D may help people in northern climates better combat the long winter.
