“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 said it was “important” for keeping their health and well-being. They said that it improved their overall health, and they felt better. They had an improved sense of control over their health. They said these types of options created an easier way to cope with their health problems.

Correcting Fernandina Beach vitamin D deficiency increases the immune system to ward off disease and even depression.

TIP OF THE MONTH: Take Vitamin D

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 cause undue immune responses: infection, cancer, auto-immune conditions. Inhaled air pollution usually settles 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 study proposes may boost 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) Many from government, research and industry globally are very aware that vitamin D deficiency is an extensive problem. All are working to find ways to deal with it and respond to 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 make a plan to boost your vitamin D level and permit your body to fight health-compromising problems.
