Low Vitamin D Linked to Obesity, Low HDL, and Increased Cardiovascular Risk

A brand new study shows that those low in vitamin D have a 31% likelihood of having full blown metabolic syndrome, whereas those adequate in vitamin D have only a 10% likelihood.  Vitamin D is one important nutrient required for healthy metabolism of calories.

The researchers found that as vitamin D levels rose due to diet and dietary supplement intake cardiovascular disease markers associated with the metabolic syndrome directly declined.  Higher levels of vitamin D were associated with higher levels of HDL cholesterol (often called good cholesterol).  As vitamin D levels dropped an individual’s waistline increased, body weight increased, BMI increased, as did triglyceride levels.

Since 70% of U.S. children are lacking vitamin D, just imagine what the future for them holds.
