This archipelago comprises 36 islands and atolls, with 10 of them—Androth, Agatti, Bitra, Chetlath, Kadamat, Kiltan, Kalpeni, Kavaratti, and Minicoy—being inhabited. The remaining islands consist of five banks named Bassas de Pedro, Sessostris, Coradivh, Aminipitti, and Elikalpeni, along with submerged reefs like Parali, Baliapani, Cheriapani, and Perumalpar (source: www.lakshadweep.nic.in). Lakshadweep, located within Indian territorial waters, boasts the country's sole atoll reef. An atoll, a ring-shaped coral island, forms as coral accumulates either on a submerged bank or the rim of a volcanic crater. Typically, it encircles a lagoon, which is a body of water bordered by the atoll. These regions often exhibit high current flows in their channels. The islands are encircled by a ring-shaped lagoon with shallow, crystal-clear water...

Hair whitening and hair loss due to vitamin D deficiency

Image
                                                    Vitamin D deficiency or hypovitaminosis D We all need vitamin D, which we can only acquire from sunlight. This is a different way to get vitamin D. However, a shortage of light receptor cells in the skin is to blame for the vitamin D insufficiency that many people are experiencing today. The reason for this is that the direct exposure of human skin to UV radiation from sunlight causes some allergy conditions. Therefore, a vitamin D deficit will have several effects, but rickets is one of them. According to recent studies, a lack of vitamin D can create serious health issues for humans, including hair loss and thinning of hair, as well as impaired renal function and clogging of arteries.
