They said that it improved 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. (1) Today more than ever, we in McHenry all need a stronger sense of control over our health and well-being.

Correcting McHenry vitamin D deficiency boosts the immune system to ward off disease and even depression.

TIP OF THE MONTH: Take Vitamin D

A healthy body counts on a healthy, well-functioning immune system. Vitamin D supports a health immune system and aids fight challenges to it. Air pollution is a challenge as it can trigger extreme immune responses: infection, cancer, auto-immune conditions. Inhaled air pollution usually settles 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 one strategy research proposes may enhance the immune system to combat such invasion. (3) Vitamin D is reportedly advantageous to improve and keep clinical depression at bay via its homeostatic, immunomodulatory and neuroprotective roles. (4) Everyone from government, research and industry around the world are very aware that vitamin D deficiency is a big problem. All 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 discuss this at your next chiropractic appointment and set a plan to increase your vitamin D level and permit your body to ward off health-compromising issues.
