CHIROPRACTIC: ONE WAY TO FEEL BETTER AND GAIN A SENSE OF CONTROL

“Listen to your elders!” An analysis of over-60 year olds stated 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 wrote it was “important” for keeping their health and well-being. They reported 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 options created an easier way to cope with their health problems.

Correcting Plainville 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 supports a health immune system and aids fight 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 affects 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 advantageous 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 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’s discuss this at your next chiropractic visit and make a plan to boost your vitamin D level and permit your body to ward off health-compromising problems.
