Vitamin D deficiency is a common cause of problems in Coronary Heart Disease.
Your body requires 1000iu/daily/vitamin D3 for each 25lbs you weigh.
Improving Vitamin D levels improves the ability of all muscles to function optimally.
You need a 25(OH)D around 60ng/ml or 150nmol/l.
2 of these 5000iu for the next 2~3 months then one daily but check
25(OH)D from time to time to ensure you are about right.
Magnesium works alongside vitamin D and also has an
important role in heart function. however it's important to use a form that is highly absorbed like
albion mineral chelate or
Magnesium Malate the form to avoid is magnesium oxide only 4% of which is absorbed. You will often find it included in magnesium blends because it is cheap it forms the bulk of most. 10mg/daily magnesium for each 1kg you weigh.
There is also good evidence that omega 3 helps heart health. However those using high strength omega 3 have to understand that omega 6 from industrially processed vegetable and seed oils like corn, soy, sunflower, safflower actively displace omega 3 from it's position in cells. It follows if you want to benefit from omega 3 you must at the same time reduce omega 6 sources from your diet. Not just avoid omega 6 oils for frying you also need to check they aren't in your salad dressing or mayonnaise. around
2g omega 3 daily EPA+ DHA is probably required. one with each meal
Consider also a low carbohydrate diet. These are best for reducing weight and the less you weigh the less work the heart does. Being in ketosis helps improve mitochondrial function and this will improve energy metabolism. You may also find using Coconut oil or MCT oil is helpful in improving lean body mass, reducing appetite and improving heart, lung , brain function.
