“Listen to your elders!” An analysis of over-60 year olds discovered that 29.2% of them utilized complementary health alternatives in the past year: herbal therapies, chiropractic and massage topped the list. 60% of those folks reported that 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 options made it easier to cope with their health problems.

A healthy body relies on a healthy, well-functioning immune system. Vitamin D plays a beneficial role in supporting a health immune system and helps combat challenges to it. Air pollution is a challenge as it can activate excessive immune responses: infection, cancer, auto-immune conditions. Inhaled air pollution usually settles on respiratory mucosa and affects the respiratory system. (We hear a lot about the respiratory system today.) Vitamin D supplementation is one strategy research suggests may enhance the immune system to combat such invasion. (3) Vitamin D is reportedly beneficial to improve and keep clinical depression at bay due to its homeostatic, immunomodulatory and neuroprotective roles. (4) Many from government, research and industry around the world are very aware that vitamin D deficiency is an extensive 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’s discuss this at your next chiropractic visit and set a plan to increase your vitamin D level and allow your body to fight health-compromising issues.
