Jumping back ??!!!

Life during this pandemic is difficult for all especially for students all over the world. Their return to educational institutions is an important and hopefully welcome step !! But there are so many hurdles in front of us. Given the difficulty of the situation and variation in crisis, States are in different stage regarding how and when they have to plan re openings. The authorities should consider the benefits and risks across education, public health and socio-economic factors. It's crucial that educational institutions plan ahead and look at additional measures they can put in place to ensure the safety of students, teachers and other staffs. Without doubt we can say, "going back" will be a little different from that we were used to before. Because of the evolving situation, authorities should take a flexible decision. Water and hygiene facilities will be a crucial part in reopening safely. Administrators should try to improve hygiene measures including hand washing, respiratory etiquette, physical distancing measures, cleaning procedures etc. There are options like flexible start and close, holding shifts, reducing size etc. Already students have persisted with their lessons under difficult circumstances with the support of their dedicated teachers and parents. But it is obvious that many of them will need extra support when they go back. Hence creating a supportive and nurturing environment back in institutions along with protocol measures demanding much importance. Authorities have to make a definite plan depending upon the variation in crisis. Even though the adverse effect of closure on students' learning is well documented, we must consider the hidden risk ahead. Finding a delicate balance between health protection and academics is somewhat risky. Administrators should adapt a differentiated system especially for educational institutions including a hybrid approach. We must redefine our vision of the regular academic based on present condition. Hence it will be necessary to review the ways of working, operations of education institutions based on local context. On supporting the way back, it's important to be in safe place always.. for the society..for the Nation..

Spread health...Yes, it's going to be hard..but HARD IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE !

LIVE IN THE SUNSHINE 🌞🌞 !!!

Despite it's discovery 100 years ago, 'Vitamin D' has emerged as one of the most controversial nutrient and pro hormone of the 21st century and a lot of research has been in place on the molecule. These research leads us to newer therapies with newer concepts. Research has now shown Vitamin D's indisputable role in both inherent and adaptive immunity. Amid this pandemic season, we might heard several times about the word 'immunity', right ? Basically it's named simply as sunshine vitamin as it's produced in our skin in response to sunlight. It's a fat soluble vitamin in a family of compounds that includes Vit D1, D2 and D3. Naturally our body produces it when exposed to sunlight and we can also get it through certain foods and supplements to ensure adequate levels. In addition to the primary benefits of regulating the absorption of calcium and phosphorus and facilitating normal immune system function and development of bones, teeth and muscles, it has some surprising benefits. Vitamin D variants play a significant role in reducing the risk of multiple sclerosis, decreasing chances of developing heart diseases and certain flu. (journals AMA ,AJCN and CIRCULATION).
Research has shown that vitamin D might play important role in regulating mood and warding off depression. In one study, scientists found that people with depression, anxiety and fibromyalgia, vitamin D supplements brought in magical improvements in their symptoms along with other therapies.
Vitamin D is a supplement that has numerous benefits which are becoming more well known. Although classified as a vitamin, D3 cleverly transforms in to a hormone in the body and circulates in the blood stream to help in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. This calcium plays a significant role in the production of hormones in the body by transmitting nerve impulses to the brain.Three major sources of this vitamin includes Sun, certain foods like oily fishes, egg yolk, cheese and definitely supplements are good alternatives. D3 variant is better than D2. D2 is more found in plant products where as D3 is mostly found in humans and animal products. D3 is more biologically active version among all variants. We need all, eventhough D3 is the higher quality source and more important to our well being . As D3 is mostly abundant in animal products, it's difficult for vegans to ensure or maintain adequate levels in their diets. But now there are a lot of approved plant based cholecalciferol across the globe.
Every body is different and the required levels too, depending on their heredity, climate, clothing pattern, diet, activities etc. It's a conditional vitamin, mostly deficiency occurs because of fat malabsorption, anti convulsant use, chronic kidney failure, obesity, dark skin tone, elderly issues ,overuse of sunscreen lotions or skin creams etc. Rate of deficiency is more in young people who have dark pigmentation (as higher quantity melanin won't absorb more sunlight as others ) and limited access to sunlight, less outdoor activities etc. As the unavoidable importance of D in many of body's vital processes is now being recognised, we must be alert about our life style and routines. It is now considered that Vitamin D helps us in cell differentiation, proliferation and immune function. It's an important factor in preventing or treatment of some type of cancers, osteoarthritis arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis,several skin diseases including psoriasis.
Always keep the measures high based on your living.

Always stay on the SUNNY side of the life !!
