Chiropractic Nutrition Advice: We all need Vitamin D!

Vitamin D is the “hot” vitamin of the day. :

  • 50% of the GLOBAL population is at risk for Vitamin D deficiency! (1)
  • 80% of the Polish population is deficient! (2)
  • 83% of Polish newborns are born deficient because 78% of their mothers are deficient. (2)

Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn stresses that all of us Ashburn folks need to check our Vitamin D levels and assert:

“We need Vitamin D!”

Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn sees Vitamin D’s fame by all of the news reports and commercials on TV - a benefit of our media we can value highly.

Vitamin D deficiency involves 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. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn encourages Ashburn 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 Ashburn 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 Ashburn chiropractic clients, join Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn 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 critical role in our overall general health (1, 4) and in our mental state by keeping depression away. (3)
