Despite being a country with abundant sunshine, Vitamin D deficiency is fairly common in India. According to the ASSOCHAM latest survey conducted in Bangalore, around 88% of the population has a Vitamin D level which is less than normal. However, the bigger concern is that the population at large is not even aware of Vitamin D deficiency and its consequences.While inactive lifestyles are widely regarded as the main reason for increasing Vitamin D deficiency, doctors are pointing out that an increasing number of kids are falling prey to joint-related ailments because of these modern, sedentary ways. Lifestyle factors such as healthy diet, physical activity and spending time outdoors are some of the ways to ensure your Vitamin D levels are kept in check.

The Prestige Group is in the business of enhancing life spaces and enriching lives, backed by its commitment to sustainability and green living. Through this initiative, they hope to encourage kids to lead more active lifestyles from a young age while creating a memorable experience for the participating families.
