Correcting Groton 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 aids combat challenges to it. Air pollution is a challenge as it can cause undue immune responses: infection, cancer, auto-immune conditions. Inhaled air pollution typically settles on respiratory mucosa and influences 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 fight such invasion. (3) Vitamin D is reportedly beneficial 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 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 daily?” and “How best do we ensure everyone gets that?” (5) Let’s talk about this at your next chiropractic appointment and make a plan to increase your vitamin D level and permit your body to ward off health-compromising issues.
