Winter has said hello. Many of us think that we need an immunity boost as the changeable weather brings new germs and viruses. Especially as we tend to push the season with our clothing selections. What can you do to boost your immunity this winter? Why don’t you give immunity-boosting through supplementation a try?

Chiropractic Care and Boosting Your Immune System
Most people are aware of the benefits of chiropractic care for back and neck care. However, there are many other advantages of adding it to your wellness routine. Our immune system is the body’s line of defense to fight viral and bacterial infections. The immune system relies on many factors in order to maintain optimal health including nutrition, exercise, posture, being well-rested, and having a healthy spine.
Our nervous system is aligned with our spine (chiropractic pun intended). And it works with the immune system to help us adapt to reactive conditions and heal appropriately when required. Stressful neural dysfunctions stem from misalignment and can lead to a weak immune response. For this reason, chiropractic adjustments have shown to boost the immune system.
