Vitamin D and Blood Pressure

From our friends at AARP:
Research has linked high blood pressure with low levels of vitamin D. Older people have significantly higher rates of high blood pressure and lower level of vitamin D. Recent studies suggest vitamin D supplements may help. A small study has very promising results. As always check with your doctor before beginning or stopping any medication or supplements.

A little sunshine will also help with the vitamin D.  I think we all need a week at the beach!
Take care,
Dr. Janet
