Vitamin D could have a key role in COVID-19 response

I would love to share with You some informations about Vitamin D

Vitamin D is also known as the ‘Sunshine Vitamin’ as it is a vitamin we produce from direct exposure to sunlight. We aren’t blessed with lots of sunshine in this part of the world, and because this vitamin is found only in a small number of foods, Vitamin D deficiency is common. So what is vitamin D, I hear you ask and what are the benefits?!

Let’s have a little look to make our understanding a bitbetter. Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin, meaning that it gets stored in your body for future use, if not needed immediately. Such is the importance of this vitamin, the HSE & Food Safety Authority in Ireland recommend that all babies are given a daily Vitamin D supplement for the first full year of their life.

Not to get too caught up in the science, Vitamin D has an important role in regulating calcium and phosphate in our bodies. In a nutshell, these are the guys we rely on for strong healthy bones and teeth.

Vitamin D also has important roles to play in keeping our immune system strong. If you are not getting enough Vitamin D naturally, through sun and/or your diet, your immune system will not be working as well as it can do, and as we are all about getting things working a bitbetter, the immune system is not certainly not being left out!

A strong immune system helps us fight disease and infections from viruses and bacteria a bit better, so keeping ourself topped up with this is vital.

It’s safe to say that we all pretty much know that vitamins are good for us! We all may not know the science of it, but we do know they help our bodies function that bitbetter! We are not scientists, doctors or researchers here at Bit Better HQ, but we do like to read & keep up with the latest goings on, so lets break down the minefield of vitamins to get our understanding of it a bitbetter.

In a nutshell, there are two categories of vitamins – fat soluble (Vitamin A,D & K ) & water soluble (Vitamin B complex & C) The difference, in very simple terms is that the fat soluble vitamins are stored in the body and the water soluble vitamins aren’t. What this means for us is that we need to replace the water soluble vitamins more regularly. All these vitamins are available through a good varied diet, but if, for example, you are a fussy eater (like myself!) you may find that you are inadvertently losing out on some vitamins. This is where supplements can come into play.

Trying to determine which ones to take then is the next task! There is so much choice out there, it can be overwhelming to decide & if you are anything like us, too much choice then becomes no choice! What we have tried to do is hand pick a selection of vitamins that we feel tick the boxes in our search of bitbetterness. At Bitbetter.ie HQ, we believe in the positive circle of bitbetterness! Feeling a bitbetter can have tremendous knock on effects in your well being, both mentally & physically.

We are not here to change your life entirely or turn you inside out or upside down – we are more for the small steps we can take in life to make our health & wellbeing that little bitbetter – genuinely believing that small changes can lead to big things!

The World Health Organisation is an authority that has jumped onto everyone’s radar since the recent outbreak of Covid-19. This leading body on international health within the UN system defince health as ‘ a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’ Here at Bitbetter.ie, we strive to make our physical, mental & social well being a bitbetter, and we thinkn vitamins are a great way to do this
