Doctors are concerned that In a tropical country like India, vitamin D deficiency is alarmingly on the rise. The main source of vitamin D is sunlight. And in a country where sunlight is available in abundance, people are deficient of vitamin D.
This could be due to the reason that people avoid going in sun due to their work situation or life style. Many upper class people stay indoors under shade and in air conditioned environment that makes them deficient in vitamin D. And as more and more homes are getting air conditioned, people never open the windows.
Also mosquito problem could be a reason that people don't open their house windows, that also deprives hem from vitamin D as sunlight doesn't enter their homes. Installing mosquito nets on windows and doors and keeping the windows open in day time and allowing sunlight to come into homes and exposing ourselves to sunlight could be one option to overcome vitamin D deficiency.
