Vitamin-D


Proper sun exposure helps your body produce vitamin D. It keeps bones strong, boosts immunity, lowers the risk of depression, improves insulin sensitivity, and helps regulate the sleep cycle. So sunlight is more than just light — it’s a kind of natural hormonal therapy, and it’s especially important for vegans.



For most people in India, 15–25 minutes of sun a day is appropriate. The time between 7:00 and 10:00 A.M. is generally considered better — it provides a good balance: vitamin D production with a lower risk of sunburn. UV‑B rays are strongest between 10:00 A.M. & 3:00 P.M., but sunburn risk also increases then, so balancing exposure is important.


Pay attention to dietary sources of vitamin D (for example, fortified plant milks, mushrooms that contain D₂, and D₃ where available). Along with sensible sun exposure, get a blood test every few months — especially during winter or periods of low sunlight — to check your 25(OH)D level, and take supplements if needed.

Bhutan's Hypocrisy Exposed

Bhutan has long prided itself as the world's only carbon-negative nation and a beacon of Buddhist compassion, proudly claiming no commercial slaughterhouses on its soil to honor the precept of Ahimsa (non-violence) central to Mahayana Buddhism—where killing animals violates the First Precept against taking life. Yet, this stance is a facade: Bhutan imports nearly all its meat, with 2023 data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forests showing over 5,000 metric tons of meat annually sourced primarily from India (via border trade hubs like Phuentsholing), including buffalo buff (carabeef), pork, and chicken. This reliance sustains high per capita meat consumption—28.5 kg/person/year (FAO 2022 stats), far above vegetarian norms—while dodging domestic killing to appease monastic vows and cultural taboos.



Enter the controversial Livestock Bill 2025, tabled in Bhutan's National Assembly in early 2025, which proposes legalizing commercial slaughterhouses for the first time. Proponents cite "food security" amid rising imports (up 15% from 2020-2024 per trade reports) and youth demands for local supply, but critics decry it as greedy "development" prioritizing GDP over Gross National Happiness (GNH). Why industrialize death on sacred land when 70% of Bhutanese are Buddhist (Pew Research 2020), and monastic leaders like the Je Khenpo have long opposed animal slaughter? Importing "death" was hypocritical enough; now mass-producing it locally—potentially for cows revered in Hindu-Buddhist traditions—betrays ahimsa at its core.

Veganism and Feminism👌

   

You are the fierce heartbeat of change—nurturing families, leading with unbreakable compassion, and shattering chains of exploitation! I advocate for Veganism and Feminism, twin flames of justice that oppose the ruthless misuse of female reproductive systems—in animals and humans alike.



Picture the dairy industry's barbarity: cows and buffaloes, gentle mothers, forcibly impregnated year after year. Their calves are ripped away at birth, leaving the mothers bellowing in agony, while their milk—nature's sacred gift for motherhood—is stolen for profit. The dairy industry treats them as mere breeding machines. 


These echoes resound in human patriarchy: for centuries, women's bodies have been objectified, controlled, and commodified. Coerced reproduction, denied autonomy, forced pregnancies—these violate the very essence of womanhood. Just as we liberate animal mothers from exploitation, feminism liberates women from societal cages. Veganism extends compassion beyond species, dismantling all systems that exploit the vulnerable female form.


Rise! Be the change. Let's build a world where no mother suffers for another's gain. Join the Vegan Mumbai Community today—it's FREE for every Mumbaikar. For more information, visit veganmumbai.org
