“Listen to your elders!” A study of over-60 year olds discovered that 29.2% of them used complementary health alternatives in the last 12 months: herbal therapies, chiropractic and massage topped the list. 60% of those folks reported that it was “important” for keeping their health and well-being. They reported that it boosted their overall health, and they felt better. They had an improved sense of control over their health. They said these types of interventions created an easier way to cope with their health problems. (1) Today more than ever, we in Ashburn and Herndon are all in need of 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 helps 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 lands on respiratory mucosa and has an effect on the respiratory system. (We hear a lot about the respiratory system today.) Vitamin D supplementation is a strategy research suggests may boost the immune system to combat such invasion. (3) Vitamin D is reportedly advantageous to improve and keep clinical depression at bay due to its homeostatic, immunomodulatory and neuroprotective roles. (4) Everyone from government, research and industry around the world recognize that vitamin D deficiency is a big problem. They are working to find ways to deal with it and answer the questions “How much vitamin D should I take a day?” and “How best do we make sure everyone gets that?” (5) Let’s discuss this at your next chiropractic appointment and set a plan to increase your vitamin D level and allow your body to ward off health-compromising challenges.
