Take Vitamin D
Michael discovers how taking a daily Vitamin D supplement could help boost your immune system, while helping your brain to prevent depression and to ward off dementia.
During the winter months, here in the UK, days are short and there isn鈥檛 enough sunlight for most of us to make the Vitamin D we need. Taking a tiny Vitamin D supplement is a minute change that could have a huge impact on our health. Professor David Llewellyn from Exeter University explains to Michael that Vitamin D helps clear abnormal proteins, such as amyloid plaques and tau, from the brain, which may help protect you from dementia. Having enough vitamin D can also boost your immune systems, making that common cold easier to recover from. It could even lift your mood! Volunteer Baljit tries making Vitamin D a habit.
