vitamin D’s power to fight COVID

Steve from Hope

It seems a given that Covid is here to stay, combined with potential super spreaders in the community such as the Free Market at the A&P show grounds , people need to take it seriously.
it appears that scientific research has shown that vitamin deficiency has a strong link between death or serious illness among patients.
"Israel scientists say they have gathered the most convincing evidence to date that increased vitamin D levels can help COVID-19 patients reduce the risk of serious illness or death."
while in the Middle east 4 out of 5 are deficient , " About 5% of adults in New Zealand are deficient in vitamin D. A further 27% are below the recommended blood level of vitamin D. People with darker skin, who spend less time outside or who have health conditions that make it hard to absorb nutrients are more at risk of vitamin D deficiency."

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
