Dr Mark Draper on avoiding coughs and colds


Listen Later

It feels like winter 25/26 in the UK has been a big one for colds - a lot of people I know have had one or more.


This sounds smug, but I don't get that many colds. I believe that's in large part to my dad, Dr Mark and his steer on how to stave off a cold when you feel one 'coming on'.'


We also look at how you manage colds and coughs and recover asap afterwards.


In this conversation we cover


Vitamin C (supplements and foods)


Vitamin D (the supplements and foods/daylight we can get them from)


Exercise nuance and immunity (why long distance athletes, in particular may require supplementation to boost immune system)


Sleep


Stress


Please let me know if this is helpful and if there are any other health/vitamin/mineral topics you'd like my dad and I to talk about.
