From October to March we can’t make enough vitamin D from sunlight, so to keep bones and muscles healthy, it’s best to take a daily 10 microgram supplement of vitamin D. You can get vitamin D from most pharmacies and retailers.

Managing asthma is more than just medication—it’s about lifestyle and awareness. Here’s how you can take control:

✅ Create an Asthma Action Plan: Collaborate with your GP or asthma nurse to develop a personalised plan. 

📈 Monitor Your Symptoms: Use a peak flow meter to keep track of your lung function at home. 

🚫 Avoid Triggers: Identify and steer clear of allergens, smoke, and other irritants that can exacerbate your asthma.

🏃‍♂️ Stay Active: Engage in regular physical activity to strengthen your lungs. 

🧠 Mind Your Mental Health: Stress can impact asthma—ensure you’re taking care of your mental well-being.

🤝 Seek Support: Don’t hesitate to reach out for help or join support groups.

Attention Parents, Teachers, and Young People
We want to highlight the hidden dangers of synthetic cannabinoids like Spice being used in vapes. Although sometimes marketed as safe alternative, these substances are highly addictive, unpredictable and can lead to severe health risks. We want to highlight this growing concerning use among teenagers and young people, especially with products being available online and via unregulated channels.

Synthetic cannabinoids can trigger alarming effects including anxiety, paranoia, memory loss, and potentially long-term mental and physical health issues. Given that their chemical composition is constantly altered there is no way to know how a particular batch might affect someone, making their use extremely dangerous. This risk is particularly critical for young people whose developing brains are more vulnerable to these harmful and highly addictive substances.

We urge parents and the wider community to remain vigilant, engage in open conversations about these risks, and ensure our young people stay safe. Learn more about the dangers and stay informed by visiting the resources on Drugs.ie and the latest warnings from Public Health on spice va**ng .
