Parents are also taking proactive steps to support their children's defences, with six in 10 concerned about their immune system, particularly as schools have started to re-open. Adults and children are consuming more vegetables, exercising more often and taking vitamin supplements, in the hope they are doing the right thing to support their bodies. The study also found that as people desperately try to educate themselves about their immune system, one quarter have turned to 'Doctor Google ' for advice, while 14 per cent have consulted their GP. A further 28 per cent are also taking a vitamin or other supplement to help boost their health.
