Healthy News - March 2020

“Listen to your elders!” An analysis of over-60 year olds stated that 29.2% of them used complementary health alternatives in the past year: herbal therapies, chiropractic and massage lead the list. 60% of those folks wrote it was “important” for maintaining their health and well-being. They reported that it boosted their overall health, and they felt better. They had an enhanced sense of control over their health. They said these types of interventions made it easier to cope with their health problems. (1) Today more than ever, we in Fort Wayne are all in need of a better sense of control over our health and well-being. Your Fort Wayne chiropractor is with you in good times and difficult times, for young folks and elders! Come see us soon.

A healthy body relies on a healthy, well-functioning immune system. Vitamin D plays a beneficial role in supporting a health immune system and helps combat challenges to it. Air pollution is a challenge as it can activate excessive 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 suggests may enhance the immune system to resist 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) Many from government, research and industry globally know 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 make sure everyone gets that?” (5) Let us talk about this at your next chiropractic appointment and set a plan to increase your vitamin D level and permit your body to fight health-compromising challenges.
