Literature for participants
On this page we provide recommended reading relating to our research
project on the effects of depletion that some may have experienced
during Covid19 related lockdowns and others maybe even longer.
We are looking at a depletion of micronutrients, lack of company of others,
sunlight, good night’s sleep and doable body movement.
You’ll find a project page with information on the ongoing project itself here:
