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 activate excessive 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 suggests may enhance the immune system to resist such invasion. (3) Vitamin D is reportedly advantageous to improve and keep clinical depression at bay via its homeostatic, immunomodulatory and neuroprotective roles. (4) Many from government, research and industry around the world know that vitamin D deficiency is an extensive problem. They are seeking for ways to deal with it and respond to the questions “How much vitamin D should I take daily?” and “How best do we ensure everyone gets that?” (5) Let’s talk about this at your next chiropractic appointment and set a plan to increase your vitamin D level and permit your body to fight health-compromising issues.
