Vitamin D, A Protector Of The Heart

We all know the benefits of vitamin D, don't we? We know that vitamin D is good to maintain an excellent bone strength, and now, the University of Michigan Medical School scientists have finished a medical research that link vitamin D to a healthy heart. The study reports that vitamin D protects the heart from heart failure and the cloistral in it makes the hypertrophy (excessive growth of cells) of the heart to actually slow down significantly. Interesting, isn't it? They don't know yet, however, how exactly this happens, I mean, chemically, but this is only the beginning of more research so they can tell us in the near future exactly how much vitamin D we need to take a day in order to prevent a heart failure, especially amongst people who are at risk of developing cardiomegalia (big heart aka hypertrophy of the hear) like patients with high blood pressure and people who do sports daily, like cyclists, runners, swimmers, etc., since we do tend to have a big heart due to the intense heart beat we require in order to accomplish a well fit physical condition, so we can call ourselves athletes to compete in amateur or professional races..............or just for the fun of it.
