Vitamin D is the “hot” vitamin of the day. And there is good reason for it:

• 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)

Johnson Chiropractic stresses that all of us Richmond folks need to check our Vitamin D levels and declare:

“We need Vitamin D!”

Johnson Chiropractic notices Vitamin D’s popularity by all of the news reports and commercials on TV - a benefit of our media we can appreciate.

Vitamin D deficiency may well affect 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. Johnson Chiropractic encourages Richmond 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 Richmond 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 Richmond chiropractic clients, join Johnson 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 critical role in our overall general health (1, 4) and in our mental state by keeping depression away. (3)
