Clever bit is that it doesn't use any electronics, or even any electricity, no need for power or batteries. All the power is extracted from the pressure in the oxygen supply.This is very cool although quick engineering that just may make a huge difference.
At the moment you want to spend a reasonable amount of time out in the sunshine to create the vitamin D your immune system uses to kill viruses!BUT ! the saying that living in a major city and being a jogger it would be more healthy to stay at home and do nothing are not true.
I think 10x is far too low, it is more like 300x for countries near the peak.they are not "cases" they are tested positive.
In Italy real "cases"might from 2x up to 10x of those tested.
You could go for some of that Danish Herring that your fishermen take out of UK waters at the moment - won't last much longer!I need to eat pills to have any measurable level of D vitamin, when they tested me they was surprised of my low levels, they actually said that might be one factor of my mental problems.
Dont get me wrong i like the sun and when it is warm, but i have to eat pills to have a minimum of vitamins and minerals, at least that is what they recommended me to do.
Only problem is i often forget to eat them as taking pills are so far from my nature, even if i ate like 25 a day for 2 years when i tried to gain weight in my 20ties.
Not convinced that jogging is the way to stay healthy though, joggers don't seem to have long lives.
15 minutes of sun a day will do more for you than the pills will
not sure how things are up there, we have too much sun here and I'm not a fan of the heat, I was prescribed 1000IU a day of Vitamin D to fix a deficiency, I didn't like the tablets though so changed to getting some more sun and got my levels up without resorting to supplementsI attended a lecture at our local hospital by a doctor who spent years studying vitamin D. It seems that people in certain locations in the northern hemisphere don't (can't) get enough vitamin D during the winter months from sunshine and supplements are recommended during that time. One finding was a correlation between vitamin D levels and breast cancer rates for women in New England compared with women in sunny southern regions.
I think even in UK, 30 minutes is enough even in winter, further north supplementing your diet with oily fish solves the problem, herring, mackerel, sardines.not sure how things are up there, we have too much sun here and I'm not a fan of the heat, I was prescribed 1000IU a day of Vitamin D to fix a deficiency, I didn't like the tablets though so changed to getting some more sun and got my levels up without resorting to supplements

recommended range here is from 50 to 140, I have a full blood count every few months and haven't dipped below recommended levels since I've been adding a bit of sunAs long as you keep your vitamin D levels above 30 ng/mL it really doesn't matter whether it's from sunshine or supplements. Some practitioners recommend higher levels (as much as 60 ng/mL).
