A Douai pharmacy was honored in Gilles Bouleau’s high mass this Thursday, to address a typical northern subject!
If you watched Gilles Bouleau’s 8 p.m. news on TF1 this Thursday, you were able to discover a report filmed partly in Douai. This one spoke of the famous northern grayness. He explained to us that this year 2024 is the least sunny in 30 years in France and particularly in the North. The TF1 teams notably interviewed Patrick Marlière, a well-known meteorologist from Raimbeaucourt, who explains that this grayness is due to the persistent presence of an anti-cyclone which traps the clouds in the lower layers of the atmosphere.
A visit to the Lafayette pharmacy in Douai
The 8 p.m. cameras then landed at the Lafayette pharmacy in Douai, where prescriptions for vitamin D ampoules jumped by 20% this year, in order to compensate for deficiencies. Douais pharmacist, Marion Bonafos, explained that the body normally absorbs this vitamin via exposure to the sun for at least 15 minutes and over large areas, which is improbable at the moment. However, vitamin D is essential for bones and immune defenses. If you want to avoid the flu, don’t hesitate to grab the slightest bit of sunshine that remains during these rather dark days.
