Asthma Inhaler Anyone? Or a Vitamin D Supplement Will Just Do for Now??

Asthma.org.uk reports that there are 5.2 million people in the UK who are receiving treatment for asthma: 1.1 million children (1 in 10) and 4.1 million adults (1 in 12). Vitamin D deficiency is very common, and really worrying. It seems that lack of sunshine exposure, wet weather and stay in-door no-other-choice lifestyle just adds to the problem. Apparently, there are other complications of vitamin D deficiency, which includes rickets; a disease which causes bow legs, and surprisingly recorded the highest number of cases amongst the Asian community, due to darker skin colour: which reduces sunlight absorption. Worrying stats that makes me keenly tempted to just pack my cases, head back to the desert, build a wee shack and just spend the coming three years sun-bathing, to make up for all the sunshine and goodness I was denied here in Britain! not having a proper lavatory facility in the desert should be the last thing to worry about, or shouldn’t it???
