“Listen to your elders!” A study of over-60 year olds discovered that 29.2% of them used complementary health alternatives in the last 12 months: herbal therapies, chiropractic and massage topped the list. 60% of those folks wrote it was “important” for keeping their health and well-being. They reported that it improved their overall health, and they felt better. They had an enhanced sense of control over their health. They said these types of options created an easier way to cope with their health problems. (1) Today more than ever, we in Auburn are all in need of a stronger sense of control over our health and well-being. Your Auburn chiropractor is with you in good times and difficult times, for young folks and elders! Make your appointment soon!

A healthy body needs 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 trigger extreme immune responses: infection, cancer, auto-immune conditions. Inhaled air pollution usually lands on respiratory mucosa and has an effect on the respiratory system. (The news is filled with talk about the respiratory system today.) Vitamin D supplementation is one strategy research proposes may enhance the immune system to fight 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) Everyone from government, research and industry around the world know that vitamin D deficiency is a big problem. They are working to find ways to deal with it and answer the questions “How much vitamin D should I take daily?” and “How best do we make sure everyone gets that?” (5) Let us talk about this at your next chiropractic appointment and set a plan to increase your vitamin D level and allow your body to fight health-compromising issues.
