The Best Time And Method To Naturally Boost Your Vitamin D, Backed By Science
Approximately 1 billion people are suffering from Vitamin D deficiency, according to the National Library of Medicine in the United States. From strengthening your bone health to boosting your immunity, Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for your body to function at its optimum levels. Known as the sunshine vitamin, Vitamin D is also critical for mood regulation. A fat-soluble nutrient, this vitamin exists in two forms. Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), which is derived from plant-based sources and fortified foods, and Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) raised through essential sunlight exposure and also animal-based food intake. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States, your body requires about 400–800 International Units (IU), or 10–20 micrograms (mcg) of Vitamin D to maintain its healthy state. The Vitamin D consumption inside your body also depends on multiple factors, including your age, skin colour, current blood vitamin D levels and sun exposure. Approximately 1 billion people across the globe are suffering from Vitamin D deficiency, according to the USA's National Library of Medicine. In certain countries, the rate of Vitamin D-deficient population stretches up to 50%. In a busy world, improper diets, irregular sun exposure and several diseases have led to such a scenario. Most Effective Way To Boost Vitamin D Levels If you're dealing with Vitamin D deficiency, regular sunlight exposure is the way to go. It is the most effective way to inhale the fat-soluble nutrient that provides wider benefits to your body. When our skin is exposed to sunlight, it naturally generates Vitamin D from cholesterol. The Vitamin D synthesis process begins when the cholesterol in your skin cells meets ultraviolet B (UVB) rays, making sustained production of the essential nutrient. Since UV rays are most intense during the afternoon, midday is considered the best time to get your sun exposure while ensuring you avoid sunburn. There are also dietary sources to get the Vitamin D flow going inside your body. Non-vegetarian dietary options to raise the nutrient intake include fatty fish (salmon, mackerel), and egg yolks, while those who are vegetarian can opt for milk and orange juice. If your lifestyle makes it difficult to consume Vitamin D through both sun exposure and food options, a healthcare professional would recommend supplements. However, taking these supplements increases the risk of overdosing. The Vitamin D overdose can also be harmful, causing toxicity, nausea or kidney problems. First Published: July 05, 2025, 11:35 IST

COVID-19: T.N. health officers told to ensure early detection, reporting of ILI and SARI cases
With cases of COVID-19 being reported in various parts of the country, health officers have been told to step up disease surveillance and implement proactive measures to ensure early detection, reporting, and response to cases of Influenza Like Illness (ILI) and Severe Acute Respiratory Infections (SARI). The Directorate of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, in a communication to district, city, and municipal health officers, said that recent reports indicate a resurgence of COVID-19 cases across various parts of the country, with a noticeable increase in several States, including Tamil Nadu, during May. District Surveillance Units should ensure consistent daily monitoring and reporting of ILI and SARI cases from all healthcare facilities in their jurisdictions. They should report any unusual clustering of cases, without delay, to the State Surveillance Unit to enable timely public health response. Once clusters are identified, close monitoring should be maintained and necessary follow-up actions must be carried out in coordination with field-level teams and Primary Health Centres. The directorate has said that all healthcare facilities must verify the availability of essential medical supplies, including antiviral drugs such as Oseltamivir and necessary diagnostic consumables for managing ILI. They should also assess and ensure sufficient bed capacity in fever wards, with contingency plans to accommodate any surge in patient numbers. Field staff should be mobilised to promote public health messages within communities. This includes promoting hand hygiene, encouraging wearing masks in crowded places to reduce transmission, and maintaining cough etiquette and a safe distance from individuals showing symptoms of respiratory illness. They should urge individuals to seek medical care early in case of symptoms such as fever, sore throat, cough, or body pain. They should also reinforce the need for seasonal influenza vaccination, particularly among high-risk groups. The staff should advise regular cleaning of commonly touched surfaces such as phones, door handles, and light switches. The officers were told to instruct all health institutions in their administrative control to report all ILI/SARI cases on the Integrated Health Information Platform portal without fail.

Health ministry seeks report on preparedness for Covid-19 by June 2
New Delhi: As Covid cases continue to rise across the country, the union health ministry has asked several states and union territories, including Delhi, to put preventive measures in place. As of May 28, India recorded 1,621 active cases with Kerala, Maharashtra, Delhi, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka accounting for over 90% of total active infections. In a letter dated May 29 to state chief secretaries and UT administrators, health secretary Punya Salila Srivastava addressed the seasonal increase in respiratory illnesses caused by various pathogens, including Influenza, SARS-CoV-2 and RSV. "A notable but gradual increase in cases of acute respiratory illnesses (ARIs) due to SARS-CoV-2 is being seen in some parts of the country," the letter mentioned. She stated that most infections were mild, with current Omicron variants JN 1, XFG, and LF 7.9 causing typical symptoms of fever, cough and sore throat that resolve naturally. The letter instructed states and UTs to assess hospital readiness at district and sub-district levels, including medical colleges, tertiary care centres and other inpatient healthcare facilities. This includes ensuring the availability of diagnostics, essential drugs, PPEs, isolation facilities, oxygen supply, critical care beds and ventilator-supported beds. Facilities must conduct mock drills to verify oxygen preparedness. An action taken report has to be shared by June 2. The ministry emphasised following testing protocols as per operational guidelines: testing all SARI cases and 5% of ILI cases. SARI-positive samples have to be forwarded to regional VRDL centres for whole genomic sequencing. District Surveillance Units must monitor ILI/SARI trends, track SARI proportions among cases, and maintain regular data entry on the portal concerned. Through public health education, proper hand and respiratory hygiene practices, including appropriate cough etiquette and avoiding spitting in public, have to be promoted. Vulnerable groups, including elderly and immunocompromised individuals, should avoid crowded, poorly ventilated spaces or wear face masks in such environments. Also, individuals experiencing respiratory symptoms should monitor their health and seek medical attention if they develop serious symptoms like breathing difficulties or chest pain.
