In winter, to support your immune system and maintain overall health, consider adding Vitamin C to your daily routine.

It helps protect cells, maintain healthy skin, blood vessels, bones, and cartilage, and aids wound healing.

The National Health Service recommends a daily intake of 40mg for adults aged 19 to 64, which can typically be met through diet.

Consuming less than 1,000mg is generally safe, with bananas and orange juice being good sources of Vitamin C.

While some previous studies have linked moderate red wine consumption to reduced risks of various diseases and longer life, recent research and health authorities caution against alcohol.

A 2023 study in JAMA Network Open involving nearly 5 million people found that even low daily alcohol consumption doesn't significantly lower the risk of death and higher amounts increase it.

The World Health Organization (WHO) in January 2023 affirmed that no level of alcohol consumption is safe, classifying it alongside asbestos, radiation, and tobacco as a high-risk substance linked to at least seven types of cancer, including breast and colon.

In 2023, celebrated director Michael Mann returned to the big screen with "Ferrari," his first movie since 2015.

Known for his detailed crime thrillers, Mann's latest film is a high-speed biopic, showcasing his signature style of combining rigorous research with emotional depth.

His career, marked by mostly acclaimed films, often sees him revisiting his works for director's cuts. However, this summary focuses on his theatrical releases, excluding made-for-TV projects.
