 Hey there, have you ever wondered why do we fly kites on workers in Gandhi? And why do we need those yummy sesame laddoos? So let me explain the science behind this ritualistic further. During winters, it is very common for the body to get afflicted with various infections such as cold, cough, dry skin and more importantly lack of vitamin D because we mostly stay indoors. By flying kites, people get exposed to the sun rays and this can help them get rid of skin infection and illnesses associated with winter. With your back facing the sun, when you fly the kites, you get ample amount of vitamin D which improves your bone density and helps you get over depression. And the sesame laddoos that you eat have sesame seeds in them which are an excellent source of calcium and manganese which helps bones grow healthy and strong. Sesame is also a source of oil rich in vitamin D and E which helps soothe your dry skin and get rid of rashes. And jaggery used in making these laddoos has a hot potency which gives warmth to the body and pairing it with ginger helps you to fight sore throat, cold and cough. But you know the most important reason why do I like this festival? On this day, we donate warm clothes and food to the underprivileged which strengthens the human bonding. And this is something which goes beyond science.
