Vitamin D – A Critical Factor in your Health

As many of you will be aware we have encouraged practice members to ensure optimum levels of vitamin D3 in your body – either through supplementation or preferably through sun exposure.
Vitamin D3 levels are dangerously low throughout our population to an extent that many people are developing rickets again!  In fact the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) has now suggested free supplementation of Vitamin D for children in an attempt to reverse this ridiculous situation that we’ve found ourselves in.  However, the reasons why you supplement and the levels that you supplement raise an important issue here, which separates the Chiropractic approach to restoring/maintaining health compared to the medical approach of treating disease.

The supplement dose that NICE are discussing is to set elevate the level above the point where rickets develop (supplementing with 400iu per day).  However, this is still far from the established healthy level that studies have shown should be closer to 10,000iu per day.  Doses this high should only be taken alongside Vitamin K2 or your body may struggle to process calcium properly.  Interestingly there is a significant shift in thinking on osteoporosis (brittle bones) away from supplementing with calcium (because most of us have plenty available in our system) and towards a lack of D3 & K2 – to essential compounds that allow us to process our calcium into bone tissue.

Vitamin D3 is essential for pretty much every cell in your body to function properly and reproduce itself (something that’s critical if your body isn’t going to wear out).  It is linked with almost all of the internal cancers, heart disease and even neurological disorders.

So what is your approach to caring for your body?  Are you content to just survive or would you rather THRIVE?  We are here to help you with everything you need to achieve optimal health and create a great quality of life long into old age.

Every proper health restoration program should start with optimising your nervous (control) system before moving onto creating positive lifestyle changes.  We assess and monitor your nervous system using state of the art computerised scanning technology, then guide you towards a healthier life with our fun and informative Eat Well, Move Well, Think Well workshops.

Transform your health – transform your life with our comprehensive wellness program!
