How Important is Vitamin D3. Are you Suffering from Colds, Flu & Respiratory Illnesses?
Hello Neighbours
The healthier we all are, the less we have to fear from inevitable contact with viruses or any other contagion. Indeed, humans evolved alongside microbes for millions of years and we all carry bits of viruses in our own DNA.
It is not generally appreciated how important it is to maintain adequate levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D is necessary for the immune system to respond appropriately to infections – including viral infections like influenza and covid etc. Vitamin D is the “sunshine vitamin”. It is created in the body after bare skin is exposed to sunshine. This exposure must occur outdoors as the ultra-violet (UV) light frequencies that stimulate Vitamin D production do not pass through glass.
In cold weather when it is necessary to dress warmly and the sun is lower in the sky, vitamin D synthesis is greatly reduced and over time, vitamin D that may have been stored in the liver from the summer months can decline until an individual’s vitamin D levels become insufficient or frankly deficient.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
