Vitamin D and the Elderly in Winter

by admin on January 14th, 2010

In the current wintry weather nutrition is often at the forefront of our minds - and rightly so; nutrition plays a significant role in promoting good bone health. For people with elderly relatives this is a topical issue, as the recent icy spell and poor weather have resulted in a lot of A&E admissions for broken bones and sprains. During the winter months the suns rays may not be strong enough to help the body make vitamin D. An alternative source of Vitamin D is fortified milk, it is a good way to increase Vitamin D and Calcium levels for bone health.

Avonmore Supermilk has added nutrients which can help prevent bone loss in elderly, especially in the dark days of Winter.
