Happy Makar Sankranti. A fantastic culture.

How many people know about the ‘goodness’ this tradition brings along with it.

-vitamin D is made by the body with sunlight
-sesame seeds have the highest calcium (975mg per 100g). Milk has 125mg only
-the body is capable of storing vitamin D up to a year, and use the reserves
-lastly, the body is capable of getting its viatmin D reserves full with 3 full days of sunlight
-the best quality of sunlight is end of winter & beginning of summer

Now join the dots, and see how wise our sages were of ancient India. They created a festival where by our kids get excited to go in the open, under direct sunlight, throughout the day starting from early morning. And their mothers feed them homemade TIL laddoos.
