By Lisa Salmon. Vitamin D is known to play a vital role in a range of functions, and is key for keeping our bones, teeth and muscles healthy. There s now also growing interest in whether it could help protect against Covid-19. Scientists from Queen Mary University of London are launching a new trial to investigate whether vitamin D protects against the virus, as there s already evidence that it might reduce the risk of respiratory infections, with some recent studies suggesting people with lower vitamin D levels may be more susceptible to coronavirus. Many people in the UK have low vitamin D levels, particularly in the winter and spring, when respiratory infections are most common, says lead researcher Professor Adrian Martineau.

According to the British Nutrition Foundation, men over the age of 50 tend to have slower metabolisms than those in their 20s. Hence, they may require fewer calories overall to stay in good shape. An increasing number of men are developing problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and prostate cancer.
