They stated 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 made it easier to cope with their health problems.

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

TIP OF THE MONTH: Take Vitamin D

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 activate undue immune responses: infection, cancer, auto-immune conditions. Inhaled air pollution usually lands 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 beneficial 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 are very aware that vitamin D deficiency is a big 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 discuss this at your next chiropractic visit and make a plan to increase your vitamin D level and allow your body to ward off health-compromising challenges.
