Morning Live's resident GP Dr Punam Krishan has said that people need to start taking one vitamin "now" and couldn't stress enough how important it is. The GP is currently on Strictly with her professional dancing partner, Gorka, hoping to take home the Glitterball Trophy. However she is still urging people to keep up with their vitamins, saying on her recent TikTok video it's something people should do all year round, but especially during colder months.
Dr Punam aka @drpunamkrishan said: "Something that I’ve been seeing a lot of the last couple of weeks as people really badly affected with chest infections, bad cold, sore throat, sore ears, sinusitis, Covid is doing the rounds - and there’s a few reasons for that. The first most important one is when the weather changes a lot of us in Scotland would say that we’ve had zero summer and I’d agree with that, but we are now in autumn and heading towards winter and when that happens it’s a perfect opportunity for viruses to start spreading." There's another opportunity however for viruses and bacteria to spread with people coming back from their holidays and kids returning to school.
This can "make us feel as miserable as possible" the expert said. But thankfully, there is something that we can do with the doctor warning that we need to start "now". Dr Punam explains: "There’s something we can order to help support the immune system so this is your friendly GP reminder that if you haven’t already been taking it star.
