TIP OF THE MONTH: Take Vitamin D

A healthy body needs a healthy, well-functioning immune system. Vitamin D supports a health immune system and helps fight challenges to it. Air pollution is a challenge as it can elicit extreme immune responses: infection, cancer, auto-immune conditions. Inhaled air pollution usually settles on respiratory mucosa and has an effect on the respiratory system. (We hear a lot about the respiratory system today.) Vitamin D supplementation is a strategy research proposes may boost the immune system to combat such invasion.
