What Women Know About . . .Health

Vitamin D prevents colds and chest infections, boosts the immune system. Lots of people nowadays suffer from Vitamin D deficiency because they don’t get enough sunshine and we work in offices all day, and use sun-block all year round. But you need to get into the sun for your body to manufacture Vitamin D, we don’t get it from food alone. Get plenty of sunshine and daylight in the winter time and take Cod Liver Oil!

Cranberry Juice prevents and treats simple cystitis and can prevent urinary tract infection – drink it every day and you’ll have a healthier love life!
Emer, 37, Midwife.


Vitamin A cures acne. Dermatologists actually use this in high dose in Roaccutane, an anti-acne treatment which is very toxic. Carrots contain natural, non-toxic vitamin A in safe doses. If you’ve got acne you should rink carrot juice every day and you’ll see your skin improve very quickly! If you hate the taste of it mix it with apple or orange juice too.
Marguerite, 38, Dermatologist.
