“Listen to your elders!” An analysis of over-60 year olds found 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 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.

A healthy body relies on a healthy, well-functioning immune system. Vitamin D supports a health immune system and helps combat challenges to it. Air pollution is a challenge as it can trigger undue immune responses: infection, cancer, auto-immune conditions. Inhaled air pollution typically settles on respiratory mucosa and affects the respiratory system. (The news is filled with talk about the respiratory system today.) Vitamin D supplementation is a strategy research suggests may enhance the immune system to combat such invasion. (3) Vitamin D is reportedly advantageous to improve and keep clinical depression at bay via its homeostatic, immunomodulatory and neuroprotective roles. (4) Many from government, research and industry around the world recognize that vitamin D deficiency is an extensive problem. All are seeking for ways to deal with it and respond to the questions “How much vitamin D should I take a day?” and “How best do we ensure everyone gets that?” (5) Let’s discuss this at your next chiropractic appointment and make a plan to boost your vitamin D level and allow your body to ward off health-compromising issues.
