By improving vascular function, vitamin D could help reduce blood pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Additionally, in those with obesity, there is chronic, low-grade inflammation, said Geiga. This can impair blood vessel health, contributing to high blood pressure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cVitamin D has known anti-inflammatory properties that may help counteract this effect,\u201d he explained. \u201cMoreover, people with obesity are more likely to experience vitamin D deficiency because fat cells <hl-trusted-source source=\"Nature\" rationale=\"Highly respected journal,Expert

health and lower blood pressure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cAdditionally, vitamin D influences the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, a key regulator of blood pressure,\u201d he said. \u201cAdequate vitamin D levels may reduce the activity of this system, leading to better blood pressure control.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size:0;line-height:0\"\/><span style=\"font-size:0;line-height:0\"\/><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Given that vitamin D is easy to obtain, patients may wonder how they can apply the study\u2019s findings to their own

contributing to blood pressure issues,\u201d she said. \u201cIf levels are low, supplements or a bit of natural sunlight exposure (when safe) can help improve vitamin D status over time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>However, she added that vitamin D supplementation really needs to be a part of a larger strategy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cBlood pressure responds well to a combined approach\u2014regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, and effective weight management are all important for long-term benefits,\u201d said Hawle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Additionally, while the study looked at supplementation with <span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;\">600 IU and 3,750 IU doses, she advises speaking with your physician about what is an appropriate

initial levels of vitamin D at the start of the study.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Improved calcium regulation, lower inflammation, and reduced activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system could account for the reduction in blood pressure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Experts recommend getting a blood test to determine if you are actually low in vitamin D and following your doctor\u2019s advice
