βοΈ FACT - For most people, adequate vitamin D levels are reached through regular exposure to the sun. When the UV Index is 3 or above (such as during summer), most people maintain adequate vitamin D levels just by spending a few minutes outdoors on most days of the week. However, some people may not be able to access the sun exposure required to help them maintain their vitamin D levels and may require some extra support from supplements. You can find out more about this here - https://www.cancer.org.au/cancer-information/causes-and-prevention/sun-safety/vitamin-d βοΈ
During winter with less sun and shorter days, our bodies can become deficient in vitamin D. For advice on whether you may need to take a vitamin D supplement, come and chat with our Pharmacist today.

During the winter months, cold and flu viruses are more prevalent and can cause coughs, often accompanied by congestion and a sore throat. Dry indoor air can also contribute to a cough's persistence. So, how can you prevent a winter cough before it starts?*
π Practise good hygiene: Always wash your hands properly, avoid touching your face, and use disinfectants when needed to remove germs from frequently touched surfaces.
π Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water and using a humidifier can help maintain moisture in your throat, providing relief from irritation caused by dry air.
π Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Eating well, getting sufficient sleep, and exercising regularly are essential to keep your immune system strong during winter.
