Correcting Manchester 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 helps fight challenges to it. Air pollution is a challenge as it can elicit undue immune responses: infection, cancer, auto-immune conditions. Inhaled air pollution usually lands on respiratory mucosa and affects the respiratory system. (We hear a lot about the respiratory system today.) Vitamin D supplementation is a strategy study proposes may enhance the immune system to fight 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 around the world are very aware that vitamin D deficiency is a big problem. They are working to find ways to deal with it and respond to the questions “How much vitamin D should I take daily?” and “How best do we make sure everyone gets that?” (5) Let’s talk about this at your next chiropractic visit and set a plan to increase your vitamin D level and allow your body to fight health-compromising issues.
