“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 enhanced sense of control over their health. They said these types of options made it easier to cope with their health problems. (1) Today more than ever, we in Fort Wayne all need a better sense of control over our health and well-being.

A healthy body counts on a healthy, well-functioning immune system. Vitamin D plays a beneficial role in supporting a health immune system and aids combat challenges to it. Air pollution is a challenge as it can elicit undue immune responses: infection, cancer, auto-immune conditions. Inhaled air pollution usually lands on respiratory mucosa and affects the respiratory system. (The news is filled with talk about the respiratory system today.) Vitamin D supplementation is a strategy research proposes may enhance 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 recognize that vitamin D deficiency is an extensive problem. They 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 ensure everyone gets that?” (5) Let us talk about this at your next chiropractic visit and make a plan to boost your vitamin D level and allow your body to ward off health-compromising problems.
