Have a large waistline? You most likely have a vitamin D deficiency, according to this study

Having an excess amount of abdominal fat has been shown to contribute to various health issues that pose a risk to one’s life expectancy. Two universities located in the Netherlands studied a group of 45-65 year old individuals to see how vitamin D deficiency correlated to excess abdominal weight. The study showed that for women, vitamin D shows a direct increase in abdominal fat. In men, not only did it increase their waistlines, but it also contributed to liver fat.

Key Takeaways:

• Men who have a vitamin D deficiency can also end up developing fatty liver disease.
• The study showed that women who have lower levels of vitamin D are much more prone to having excess weight in the abdominal area.
• Many sunscreens above 15 SPF unfortunately block your body from naturally receiving vitamin D from UV rays.
