Chiropractic Nutrition Advice: We all need Vitamin D!

Vitamin D is the “hot” vitamin of the day. There's a pretty good reason that it is:

  • 50% of the GLOBAL populace is at risk for Vitamin D deficiency! (1)
  • In Poland, an astonishing 80% of their populace is lacking Vitamin D! (2)
  • 83% of Polish newborns are born deficient because 78% of their mothers are deficient. (2)

Satterwhite Chiropractic emphasizes that all of us Oxford folks need to check our Vitamin D levels and proclaim:

“We need Vitamin D!”

Satterwhite Chiropractic spots Vitamin D’s acclaim by all of the news reports and commercials on TV - a perk of our media we can treasure.

Vitamin D deficiency can change our skin, bone, mental state, and more. It puts us at risk for cancer, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease, and infectious diseases. (1) It’s amazing that one nutrient can have such influence, but vitamin D does. Satterwhite Chiropractic encourages Oxford chiropractic patients to keep their vitamin D levels high to avoid the pitfalls of suffering with a Vitamin D deficiency.

Improving Vitamin D levels may help us all in Oxford to

 

  • curb depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder. Vitamin D levels fluctuate with the seasons. (3)
  • reduce bone fractures and related osteoporosis issues. (1, 4)
  • keep our nursing home residents going a bit longer. Elderly folks in Swedish nursing homes are at higher risk of mortality with their Vitamin D deficiencies. (5)
  • prevent disease – rickets (children) and osteomalacia (adults). (4, 1)

 

So Oxford chiropractic clients, join Satterwhite Chiropractic in checking our Vitamin D levels and getting some safe sun, eating some Vitamin D rich foods (like salmon, tuna, liver, soy milk), and/or taking supplements to boost our levels. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in our overall general health (1, 4) and in our mental state by keeping depression at bay. (3)
