Vit D

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

Vit D

Now the clocks have changed and there's less natural daylight, don't forget to take your Vit D tabs. I don't do any extra vitamin supplements (a waste of money) except D and SWIMBO reminded me yesterday to start taking them again - Rob

There's exactly the same amount of daylight today as there would have been if the clocks hadn't changed.

It’s the lack of sunshine in the U.K. which leads to a deficiency of vitamin D. Food alone cannot provide enough. It’s essential for healthy bones.

GPs here dish it out to the kids in a liquid phial twice a year and adults once a year in the winter.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

From Mike's link

Some groups of the population are at greater risk of not getting enough vitamin D, .......
These groups are:
..... if they usually wear clothes that cover up most of their skin when outdoors

So that's not me then :lol:
