Let's talk about arterial stiffness and vitamin D. Now normally your arterial system,

your blood vessels should be highly elastic. You want them to be able to expand and contract.

This keeps your blood pressure in check. It keeps your heart healthy and also prevents

strokes. The stiffer the arteries, the harder the heart has to work, and then the blood pressure

starts going up. And it was a very interesting study, which I'll put a link down below.

First of its kind, randomized clinical trial over the course of four months, just using

4,000. I use a vitamin D3. That's not very much. Personally, I would recommend 10,000

I use a vitamin D3 and I'll tell you why in a little bit. This was performed on young

overweight or obese vitamin D deficient African Americans. And what they found at the end

of the study was there was a significant decreased stiffness just within four months. So if

the person had high blood pressure, it's going to bring it down to a normal range. So what

is it about vitamin D that helps elasticity of your arteries? Well, the major cause of stiffness

in the arteries is this right here. Inflammation and vitamin D is one of the most potent, natural

anti-inflammatories. It will drop inflammation if you have back pain or any type of arthritis.

It's very effective. And it also will drop inflammation in your arteries, making the

arteries more elastic. So as a part of a protocol, vitamin D is essential. Vitamin D3,

personally, I know it says 4,000 there. I would bump this up to 10,000 I used at least.

If you have a major problem, I'd probably even bring it up higher. But vitamin D is a very

powerful natural anti-inflammatory. The other thing I'm going to recommend is adding vitamin

K2. Why? Because vitamin K2 has everything to do with keeping calcium out of the wrong

place. It reduces the formation of calcium within the arteries. It also reduces calcium

in the joints. And it keeps the calcium in the bone. The combination of these two are
