Vitamin D supplements could spare more than three million people from colds or flu in the UK each year, researchers claim.

The sunshine vitamin is vital for healthy bones, but also has a role in the immune system.

 

The analysis, published in the British Medical Journal, argues food should be fortified with the vitamin.

 

But Public Health England (PHE) says the infections data is not conclusive, although it does recommend supplements.

 

These, it says, should be taken for improved bone and muscle health.

 

The immune system uses vitamin D to make antimicrobial weapons that puncture holes in bacteria and viruses.

 

But as vitamin D is made in the skin while out in the sun, many people have low levels during winter.

 

If you're having aches and pains, it might even be due to a deficiency in Vitamin D.

 

Many of us who works in office, from early morning till late night, don't get enough sunshine.

You might be Vit D deficient without knowing it.

Go out and get your free vitamin D in the sun.

 

Downside is increased photo ageing of the skin. That's why i don't mind walking in the sun once a while.

sometimes, people don't like free things or can't bear to see others getting free things.

 

Example, flats stopped with designs with sunshine = you need dryers to dry clothes.... in sunny Singapore.

 

Solar tax may be coming just like carbon tax.

 

so if I just bake in the sun isn't it cheaper? I mean its free.....
