Grandparents' health being put at risk as almost half get ill from babysitting

Dr Dawn Harper, spokeswoman for ColdZyme Mouth Spray, said: "More grandparents are providing regular child care for their grandchildren as both parents have work commitments.

"Many of my patients who provide such care tell me it's a job they love, but one that often leaves them feeling exhausted. Fatigue can suppress the immune system, so it's important grandparents get a good night's sleep.

"My parents tell me 'grandparenting' is their favourite hobby.

"They are lucky they are both in good health with robust immune systems, but some grandparents are missing out on such magical moments."

To help grandparents avoid falling ill, Dr Harper recommends regularly washing hands, along with surfaces and door handles, eating a well-balanced diet and making sure you have a good sleep routine.
