With good weather forecast for the week, you’re being encouraged to soak in as much sun as possible – from your own back garden.
Nenagh-based GP Pat Harrold says Vitamin D is vital when it comes to staving off viruses like COVID-19.
Speaking on Tipp Today earlier he said it’s something simple that will help keep your immune system fighting fit:
“If you’re sitting indoors, your Vitamin D is probably low. And most people at this time of the year, after a long, dirty winter in Ireland, would be low in Vitamin D unless they’re taking a supplement.
“If you’ve a good, high level of Vitamin D, you’re less likely to catch COVID-19. You’ll feel better as well.
“Basically, go with a Vitamin D supplement – especially if you’re over 70 and staying indoors.”
