The City of Bet Shemesh has confirmed to Heller that it has been in contact with the Ministry of Health to coordinate this project after consulting with doctors and medical experts on the matter.
The City says it is important because about half the city is Haredi and studies have shown that in general the Haredi community suffers from Vitamin D deficiencies due to minimal exposure to the sun.
I can't wait for a bottle of Vitamin D to appear in my mailbox one day! But I also want vitamins B, C and Zinc!

My doctor told me years ago that in his opinion every charedi should take vitamin D.
ReplyDeleteIf there's ever been objective reasoning against hyper-tziyus, it's this. Covering more is objectively unhealthy. I dont say so, your body says so.
ReplyDeleteIn most parts of the charedi community. the men are more covered than the women.
DeleteYeah, it was discovered that Vitamin D may help with corona. Which is kind of ironic, because we've been locked indoors.
ReplyDeleteSo they both need it.
ReplyDeleteMany people, of all kinds, are quite deficient in Vitamin D (which comes from the sun). It's a very important vitamin and deficiency is bad for the organs of the body. That's why so many sicknesses today. Because of the lack of nutrients in all foods today, there are more sicknesses and lack of immunity in many people and that means, everywhere.
ReplyDeleteYears ago I suddenly became very ill, and it turned out that the only problem was a very low level of Vitamin D - as all vitamins, it is absolutely essential!
