SUN 

MY FIRST BLOG 

Today is 21 st June and it coincides with Sunday , Longest Day of the Year , International Yoga day and it also happens to be Solar Eclipse Day. As a part of daily routine , I was having a glance through newspapers and I found one interesting item which caught my item titled THE SUN COULD HELP YOU FIGHT COVID  in Times of India dated  21.6.2020. 

Sun ( Hindus also refer it as Surya ) is considered by Hindus as Living god. Sun is the creator of life. Human beings cannot think of even a single day without Sun. Every Organism on this planet is dependent on Sun directly or indirectly . Sun is abundant , not to talk of Tropics. Irony is that , still we are Vitamin D deficient. Deficiency of vitamin D is more all over the world. Scientists have linked Vit-D deficiency vis-a-vis with weak immune response , hence more susceptibility to Covid-19.Vit-D deficiency leads to respiratory problems.In the years 2009/2010, H1N1 pandemic was very high in non-white ethnicity with high mortality rate in England. 

Misconception among Indians is that they will not suffer due to Vit-D deficiency , as they feel that Sunshine is abundant , but the problem with black people and others who have darker skin that they have more of Melanin thus decresing the ability to produce Vit-D. 

In the newsitem they have mentioned various ways to overcome Vit-D deficiency like exposing to Sun for 5-30 minutes, having supplement , etc.,
