A review of 28 previous medical studies that included nearly 100,000 people has found that high levels of vitamin D may reduce the risk of developing cardiometabolic disorders such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Researchers at Warwick Medical School in the United Kingdom say their analysis found that there is a significant association between high levels of vitamin D in middle-aged and elderly people, and a decreased risk of developing cardiovascular disease (33 percent compared to low levels of vitamin D), type 2 diabetes (55 percent reduction) and metabolic syndrome (51 percent reduction).


Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in some foods and is also produced when ultraviolet rays from sunlight strike the skin and trigger vitamin D synthesis.

Healthcare experts say it is important in fighting several medical conditions such as cancer and osteoporosis. Foods high in Vitamin D: Cereals, Potatoes, Starches, Sugars, Sweeteners, Pulses, Nuts, Seeds, Vegetables, Fruits, Mushrooms, Algae, Fishes, Shellfishes, Meats, Eggs, Milks, Fats, Oils, Confectioneries, Beverages etc.
