AFTER all orthodontic work was finished (at 13 years old), the left side of my jaw started to pop chronically. My orthodontist told me it would go away. Well, it's nearly 7 years later and I am left with not only an asymmetrical/narrow smile, an overbite, and a clicking jaw, but a lot of pain. Over the years my jaw has become tighter, tenser; I have had frequent neck pain, etc. For these issues I have been seeing a chiropractor for almost the entire past year.
Vitamins and minerals are substances that are found in foods we eat. Your body needs them to work properly, so you grow and develop just like you should. When it comes to vitamins, each one has a special role to play. For example:
Vitamin D. Why you need it: Vitamin D is crucial for bone health and calcium absorption. Vitamin D deficiency also has been linked to certain cancers and heart disease. But unlike other vitamins, our main source of vitamin D is not food â itâs the sun. So risk factors for low levels include living at high latitudes, high levels of air pollution or city smog, dense cloud covering, a high degree of clothing covering the skin, increased sunscreen use and darker skin pigmentation.
