According to a new study, consuming the sunshine vitamin can help ward off heart disease in people with low blood levels of the nutrient. <\/p>\n<p> In the study, researchers from the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute in Murray, Utah, monitored more than 9,400 patients who exhibited low vitamin D levels in an initial blood test. <\/p>\n<p> After one year of follow-up, a total of 47 percent of patients had increased their nutrient levels through supplementation to more than 30 nanograms per milliliter, which is generally considered normal. <\/p>\n<p> The research team found that those who boosted their vitamin D levels were 33 percent less likely to have a heart attack, 20 percent less likely to develop heart failure and had a 30 percent lower risk of dying between doctor visits. <\/p>\n<p> &quot;Although randomized trials would be useful and are coming, I feel there is enough information here for me to start treatment based on these findings,&quot; said lead author Brent Muhlestein, quoted by <i>Health Day News<\/i>. <br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.directnews.co.uk\/feedtrack\/justcopyright.gif?feedid=1961&amp;itemid=19672932\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.personalliberty.com\/news\/vitamin-d-supplementation-linked-to-lower-heart-disease-risk-19672932\/\" >http:\/\/www.personalliberty.com\/news\/&#8230;risk-19672932\/<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>03.16.10 07:23 PM The growing list of health benefits associated with vitamin D supplementation became more extensive at the recently held American College of Cardiology&#8217;s 59th annual scientific session in Atlanta.
