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

“Listen to your elders!” An analysis of over-60 year olds discovered that 29.2% of them utilized complementary health alternatives in the past year: herbal therapies, chiropractic and massage topped the list. 60% of those folks wrote it was “important” for maintaining 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 Williamson all need a stronger sense of control over our health and well-being.

Correcting Williamson 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 plays a beneficial role in supporting a health immune system and aids combat challenges to it. Air pollution is a challenge as it can trigger undue immune responses: infection, cancer, auto-immune conditions. Inhaled air pollution usually lands on respiratory mucosa and has an effect on the respiratory system. (The news is filled with talk about the respiratory system today.) Vitamin D supplementation is a strategy research proposes may boost the immune system to resist 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 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 a day?” 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 permit your body to ward off health-compromising problems.
