“Listen to your elders!” A study of over-60 year olds stated that 29.2% of them used complementary health alternatives in the last 12 months: herbal therapies, chiropractic and massage lead the list. 60% of those folks wrote it was “important” for keeping their health and well-being. They reported that it boosted their overall health, and they felt better. They had an enhanced sense of control over their health. They said these types of interventions created an easier way to cope with their health problems.

A healthy body counts on a healthy, well-functioning immune system. Vitamin D supports a health immune system and aids fight challenges to it. Air pollution is a challenge as it can cause excessive immune responses: infection, cancer, auto-immune conditions. Inhaled air pollution typically settles on respiratory mucosa and influences the respiratory system. (The news is filled with talk about the respiratory system today.) Vitamin D supplementation is a strategy study proposes may boost the immune system to fight such invasion. (3) Vitamin D is reportedly advantageous to improve and keep clinical depression at bay via its homeostatic, immunomodulatory and neuroprotective roles. (4) Everyone from government, research and industry globally are very aware that vitamin D deficiency is a big problem. They are seeking for ways to deal with it and answer the questions “How much vitamin D should I take daily?” and “How best do we ensure everyone gets that?” (5) Let us discuss this at your next chiropractic appointment and set a plan to increase your vitamin D level and allow your body to ward off health-compromising challenges.
