According to research by Warwick Medical School published in Maturitas, ensuring you get plenty of vitamin D can make you less vulnerable to heart disease.
The British Heart Foundation has therefore stated that people should carry out their recommended 30 minutes a day of physical activity outdoors, as exposure to sunlight can trigger vitamin D synthesis.
Fotini Rozakeas, a cardiac nurse at the charity, also suggested including vitamin D-rich foods such as eggs and oily fish in a balanced diet.
The expert said these steps could both form part of a 'heart healthy lifestyle'.
Dr Oscar Franco, one of the researchers behind the recent study, added that high levels of vitamin D have been linked with a 'substantial decrease' in cardiovascular disease.
If you do go on to develop heart disease, wearing a medical alert bracelet may be a prudent step to take.
These can ensure that doctors are fully aware of underlying health problems in the event of you needing emergency treatment.
