Courtesy: WWWMy doctor called me a few months back and put me on high doses of Vitamin D after a test revealed very low levels.
I was lucky enough to have it tested...after knowing that my nephews and cousins had all tested very low.
Optimal levels are 30+ and most desis I know of are in the 5-10 range.
So, I asked my mom to have it checked in Madras. Voila...her levels were < 4.
Vitamin-D is discussed a lot these days. Please Google and you'll know the effects of low levels of Vitamin-D.
Please have your levels checked and stay healthy. Please check the Website of the Vitamin-D Council.
PS - My wife told me that my 'Mental' issues are all due to the low levels of Vitamin D. Hmmm..I had to agree.

Excellent Tip! This is least focused health issues by many and more so by Desi's. I am planning to get my levels tested by the Dr and possibly take supplements to bring my level to keel.
Good post.
