Healthy News - March 2020

“Listen to your elders!” A study of over-60 year olds found that 29.2% of them used complementary health alternatives in the past year: herbal therapies, chiropractic and massage topped the list. 60% of those folks wrote it was “important” for keeping their health and well-being. They stated 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 created an easier way to cope with their health problems. (1) Today more than ever, we in Montreal all need a stronger sense of control over our health and well-being. Your Montreal chiropractor is with you in good times and difficult times, for young folks and elders! Come see us soon. Meanwhile, take advice from the CDC while the coronavirus pandemic is on our minds, too, as they are all things within our control when so much around us is not. (2)

A healthy body needs 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 elicit excessive immune responses: infection, cancer, auto-immune conditions. Inhaled air pollution usually lands 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 a strategy research proposes may enhance the immune system to combat such invasion. (3) Vitamin D is reportedly beneficial 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 an extensive 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 ensure everyone gets that?” (5) Let us discuss this at your next chiropractic visit and make a plan to boost your vitamin D level and allow your body to ward off health-compromising challenges.
