“Listen to your elders!” An analysis of over-60 year olds found that 29.2% of them used complementary health alternatives in the past year: herbal therapies, chiropractic and massage topped the list. 60% of those folks said it was “important” for keeping their health and well-being. They stated that it improved their overall health, and they felt better. They had a better 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 needs 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 excessive immune responses: infection, cancer, auto-immune conditions. Inhaled air pollution typically lands on respiratory mucosa and influences the respiratory system. (We hear a lot 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 advantageous 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 recognize that vitamin D deficiency is a big problem. All are working to find ways to deal with it and answer the questions “How much vitamin D should I take a day?” and “How best do we make sure everyone gets that?” (5) Let’s talk about this at your next chiropractic visit and set a plan to boost your vitamin D level and permit your body to fight health-compromising challenges.
