Vitamin D can protect bones

The latest research by a research team led by He Chengxun, a professor at the Department of Sports and Athletics at National Chung Cheng University, shows that vitamin D is not only essential for bone health, but also that it plays a major role in cardiovascular function after exercise. People with a deficiency of vitamin D have a worse ability of blood vessels and blood pressure regulation after exercise, which can be an early warning sign of cardiovascular diseases.

This innovative research was published in the prestigious international journals “Journal of the International Sports Nutrition” and “Nutrients”. Experts recommend being exposed to the sun every day and eating food, such as salmon, cod liver oil, egg yolks, etc., to maintain adequate levels of vitamin D.
