Can vitamin d supplement make lipoprotein(a) worse and increase heart disease/stroke risk? what vitamins/minerals are the best to decrease heart/stroke risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No but some things you eat increase risk of brain, heart and kidney attacks and death. And eating less salt Na and more K will likely decrease the risk. See this book for details. DASH Diet for Hypertension ISBN 9780743410076. Pharmacy begins in the kitchen.
