“Listen to your elders!” An analysis of over-60 year olds found 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 said that it boosted their overall health, and they felt better. They had an improved sense of control over their health. They said these types of interventions made it easier to cope with their health problems. (1) Today more than ever, we in Elgin all need a better sense of control over our health and well-being.

A healthy body relies on a healthy, well-functioning immune system. Vitamin D supports a health immune system and helps 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 influences the respiratory system. (We hear a lot about the respiratory system today.) Vitamin D supplementation is one strategy research proposes may boost the immune system to combat such invasion. (3) Vitamin D is reportedly beneficial to improve and keep clinical depression at bay via its homeostatic, immunomodulatory and neuroprotective roles. (4) Many from government, research and industry globally are very aware that vitamin D deficiency is an extensive problem. All are seeking for 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 discuss this at your next chiropractic appointment and make a plan to boost your vitamin D level and permit your body to fight health-compromising problems.
