Importance of Vitamin D In Hypertension

It’s long been known that a population’s average blood pressure rises the farther the country is from the equator. 
That’s not just a matter of the laid-back tropics versus the urban grind. Researchers recruited 18 volunteers with mild hypertension and put them under UVB lights for at least six minutes three times a week. 
After six weeks, the amount of Vitamin D in their systems had more than doubled and their blood pressure had dropped significantly to normal for some. 
The lights may work, because they boost calcitriol production by the kidneys, and calcitriol tamps down enzymes that cause blood vessels to constrict, a major cause of high blood pressure.

How does food #poisoning actually occur? There are two main reasons why people get food poisoning- the first is poor hygiene and the second is when the cold-chain is broken. A break in the cold-chain is when you freeze chicken that has been defrosted and then freeze it again. This causes bacteria to form and that’s what makes you sick. Poor hygiene relates to food that isn’t stored properly, for example not refrigerating food overnight, which basically causes it to go “off.”” most common cause for food poisoning- I would definitely say poor hygiene, as it’s much more likely to occur based on people not washing their hands, not washing the contaminated surfaces that they cook and eat on or leaving food out and allowing bacteria to form. i would suggest that people keep hand sanitizer closely available and use it whenever they are going to eat out, students on campus or employees in a canteen.
