Why this juice works
These deep-coloured fruits are full of a potent variety of antioxidants, including lesser-known phytochemicals that scientists think are important for cellular repair, as well as well-known substances like vitamin C, polyphenols, and anthocyanins. These antioxidants combat free radicals, which are unstable chemicals that gradually harm cells, causing wrinkles, decreased skin suppleness, and other ageing symptoms.
The Indian gooseberry, or amla, is one of the best sources of vitamin C, which promotes the formation of collagen and keeps skin looking young. Pomegranates are rich in potent antioxidants, ellagic acid and punicalagins, which are substances with anti-inflammatory and skin-protective qualities. Black grapes, which have deep purple skins, are high in resveratrol, a polyphenol that may promote longevity and enhance heart health.
This juice is particularly helpful for those who fail to consume enough fruits and vegetables each day. Frequent consumption helps lessen oxidative stress, nourish cells from the inside out, and delay the onset of age spots and fine lines.
Although no drink can completely stop the clock, consuming antioxidant-rich drinks like this one, along with a healthy diet, consistent exercise, and adequate sleep, can greatly delay the obvious signs of ageing and promote general well-being.
Nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee earlier shared tips to lower "bad" cholesterol (LDL) when statins fail to function. Tips include limiting carbohydrate intake, lowering inflammation by eating properly, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly. One should prioritise root-cause healing over merely using medicine. For more deatils: read here.

Gastroenterologist warns of ‘alarming liver failure stats' in people as young as 25; some may even need liver transplant
Gastroenterologist Dr Joseph Salhab took to Instagram on August 13 to highlight a concerning trend of increasing liver failure diagnoses in individuals between ages 25 and 35, a demographic typically not associated with such advanced liver disease. He urged proactive liver health management, including limiting toxin intake and regular check-ups, to prevent the progression of liver damage. Also read | Harvard and Stanford trained gastroenterologist reveals '3 worst beverages that can turn fatty liver into cirrhosis' The doctor highlights a concerning increase in liver failure among young adults aged 25 to 35, with a particular focus on alcohol-related liver disease.(Twitter/AHealthyBod) 'Get your liver checked at least once or twice a year' According to Dr Salhab, this shift is primarily attributed to alcohol consumption, which can lead to irreversible cirrhosis often requiring a liver transplant, a procedure complicated by the scarcity of donor organs. He said in the video of the post he titled, 'Alarming statistic – more liver failure in young adults': 'Liver doctors just got delivered an alarming statistic, which is that we're seeing more patients with liver failure in young adults aged 25 to 35.' He added, 'You would normally see liver disease and alcoholic cirrhosis in older adults. We're now seeing it much more often in younger adults. And once you reach the level of liver cirrhosis, it's almost impossible to reverse and most often needs a liver transplant. And livers are really hard to come by. You never want to let it get to that point. The most common culprit behind this is alcohol use. So, make sure you're taking care of your liver health. Make sure you're always watching what you intake. Avoid any toxins that can directly damage your liver. And make sure you get your liver checked at least once or twice a year.' One of the biggest drivers is alcohol abuse Dr Salhab wrote in his caption, 'Liver cirrhosis is showing up more in people as young as 25 to 35. One of the biggest drivers is alcohol abuse — but isn't the only contributing factor. Heavy drinking and binge drinking flood the liver with toxic byproducts like acetaldehyde, which directly damage liver cells and trigger inflammation. Over time, the liver tries to repair itself, but repeated injury leads to scar tissue replacing healthy cells. For many heavy drinkers, serious liver damage can develop in as little as 8–10 years of consistent abuse — sometimes faster if combined with poor nutrition or other health issues.' He added, 'Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, often linked to diet and lifestyle, is now one of the fastest-growing causes of cirrhosis in young adults. Diets high in ultra-processed foods, sugar, and unhealthy fats — and low in dietary fiber — promote fat buildup in the liver. Add in sedentary habits, obesity, high cholesterol, and rising rates of type 2 diabetes, and you've got the perfect storm for chronic liver injury. This slow burn of inflammation and scarring can progress quietly for years without symptoms until it's too late.' The doctor concluded, 'The scary part? Cirrhosis used to be a disease of middle age and beyond. Now, a mix of heavy alcohol use, poor diet, and metabolic disease is pushing it into younger and younger groups. Your liver has no pain nerves, so damage builds silently until it reaches a breaking point. By the time symptoms like jaundice, swelling, or confusion appear, the damage is often irreversible. The earlier you cut down alcohol, clean up your diet, and get active, the better chance you have of avoiding this entirely preventable disease.'

India's Apollo Hospitals to double AI investments, beats profit estimate
Hyderabad: India's Apollo Hospitals Enterprise plans to double its investment in artificial intelligence capabilities over the next two to three years, its CEO said, after the company beat first-quarter profit estimates on higher patient volume. The hospital chain already uses AI tools in diagnosis to read X-rays, scan reports and also in endoscopy - a medical procedure to examine the inside of the body using a camera, CEO Madhu Sasidhar told Reuters on Tuesday. Many large private hospital chains in India, like their western counterparts, are investing in AI capabilities to improve patient diagnosis and decisions related to medical procedures, among others uses. Apollo recently developed technology to read existing scan reports and predict the risk of liver fibrosis in the future, Sasidhar said. "We are also bringing some other new generation agentic AI-type tools," he said. He did not quantify the size of Apollo's existing investment in AI. Apollo, headquartered in the south Indian city of Chennai, partnered with Microsoft earlier this year to develop AI-based tools to be used in healthcare. Some of them are in early stages of testing, Sasidhar said. Indian hospital chains such as Apollo and Manipal have also been increasing their bed count for a larger share of the market, including through acquisitions of smaller hospital operators. Apollo said it is on track to add 4,370 beds over the next 3-4 years through acquisition, new hospitals and expansion of existing facilities. Its overall bed capacity is currently more than 10,000. The company's consolidated net profit rose 41.8% to 4.33 billion rupees ($49.40 million) for April-June, beating estimates of 3.86 billion rupees, according to data compiled by LSEG. While its overall occupancy rate dipped from last year, in-patient volume grew 3% and average revenue per in-patient increased by 9%, according to Apollo. Quarterly total revenue rose 15% to 58.42 billion rupees, beating estimates of 57.44 billion rupees. The company said it expects double-digit revenue growth for the current financial year.

Organ donation should become as popular as Annadana
Tumakuru: Just as the tradition of annadana (food donation) has been deeply rooted in Indian society, organ donation too must gain widespread acceptance to bring new life to patients battling terminal illnesses, said Dr. M.R. Hulinaykar, founder and president of Shridevi Medical College. Speaking at a press conference on the occasion of World Organ Donation Day, Dr. Hulinaykar announced that Shridevi Hospital has received government approval to perform organ transplants. While kidney and corneal transplants are already being conducted, the hospital plans to soon begin liver, lung, and heart transplants with the help of a skilled team of specialists. 'The lack of awareness is the biggest reason for the shortage of organs in India,' he said, urging media, religious leaders, and social and health workers to play an active role in spreading awareness. The college plans to hold awareness camps in both urban and rural areas to educate people about the life-saving benefits of organ donation. Medical Director Dr. Raman Hulinaykar noted that as part of World Organ Donation Day, the college organised a week-long awareness campaign featuring various competitions. 'One donor can save or transform 7–8 lives,' he said, stressing the need for public participation. Shridevi Charitable Trust trustee and eye specialist Dr. Lavanya, HR head M.S. Patil, Medical Superintendent Mohan Kumar, Principal Dr. M.L. Harendra Kumar, and Dr. Yashwanth Gangayya were also present.
