AlignLife Chiropractic Center of Springfield Illinois

Last week we delivered more than 1,200 non-perishable food items to Kumler Outreach Ministries thanks to the kindness of our clients, families, and friends at AlignLife of Springfield . I cannot put into words how grateful I truly am to all of you that supported our efforts during the 2017 Thanksgiving in July initiative.  Following the vandalism earlier in the year at Kumler Outreach Ministries we decided to revisit the nonprofit, to which we donated more than 800 non-perishable food items in 2015. Kumler Outreach Ministries, located at 303 N Grand Ave E, Springfield, IL, meets people where they live, feeding the hungry, caring for the sick, helping clothe people, teaching life skills and building relationships. The food pantry, clothing ministry, and medicine program reach thousands of people each year in the city and surrounding area. Sharon Brown, Kumler Outreach Ministries executive director, and her team provide support to those who need it most in our community 365

Vitamin C, found naturally in many fruits and vegetables, is needed for the growth and repair of tissues and because our body does do not store vitamin C; we need to consume it on a regular basis. In fact, Humans and guinea pigs are the only mammals in the world that do not produce vitamin C themselves, which is why it is so important to ingest either via diet or supplementation. We need vitamin C to make collagen – a protein that helps support tendons, ligaments and blood vessels and keeps the skin and other organs together. Vitamin C also improves the absorption of iron from plant-based foods and helps strengthen our immune system, protecting us from diseases. Vitamin C helps our energy levels by aiding in the production of dopamine in the nervous system. It also supports the adrenal function for increased metabolic energy and supports the liver in detoxifying the body. Vitamin C helps the body deal with stress by reducing the elevated levels of stress, hormones, and cortisol. V
