Vitamin D

A study by the University of Michigan in the United States revealed that 20% of cases of hypertension in women are associated with uncontrolled levels of blood pressure due to the lack of vitamin D in the body. This nutrient can be found in foods such as butter, egg yolk, liver, among others, but its main source is sunlight absorption. Therefore, 15 extra minutes of sun exposure are more than recommended. The nutrient is also important in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestine and mineralization, ie, growth and repair of bones.
