They stated that it boosted their overall health, and they felt better. They had a better sense of control over their health. They said these types of options made it easier to cope with their health problems.

Correcting St Peters vitamin D deficiency increases 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 combat challenges to it. Air pollution is a challenge as it can cause excessive 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 one strategy research suggests may enhance the immune system to resist such invasion. (3) Vitamin D is reportedly beneficial to improve and keep clinical depression at bay via 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 a day?” and “How best do we ensure everyone gets that?” (5) Let us discuss this at your next chiropractic visit and set a plan to boost your vitamin D level and permit your body to ward off health-compromising challenges.
