21 destitute patients shifted from MCH to Gandhi Bhavan shelter
T'puram: In a major rehabilitation initiative, 21 destitute and abandoned patients who were stranded for months at Thiruvananthapuram medical college hospital were shifted to Gandhi Bhavan shelter in Pathanapuram under the leadership of social justice minister R Bindu. The relocation, carried out under the social justice department's Vayoraksha (Elderly Protection) scheme, involved the coordinated use of multiple ambulances. Among those relocated were 17 men and 4 women, most of whom are bedridden. Several of them are non-Keralites and many do not even remember their own names or native places. Moved by the emotional farewell, hospital staff who cared for them for months gathered with teary eyes as the patients thanked them for the food, clothes and shelter provided when even their families abandoned them. The minister commended the compassionate work of the hospital staff during the send-off. The social justice department is preparing to launch a new scheme titled Vayosanthwanam, aimed at rehabilitating elderly, bedridden individuals without caretakers, in collaboration with experienced voluntary organizations. Gandhi Bhavan is one such partner institution where these individuals will now receive proper care and support. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Benefits of Trading Bitcoin CFDs IC Markets Learn More Undo Bindu noted that as hospitals increasingly witness cases where cured patients cannot return home due to lack of support, such rehabilitation efforts become critical.

Gandhi Bhavan secretary Punalur Somarajan confirmed that a dedicated ward and medical team are now in place to provide the best possible care for the relocated residents.

Fatty Liver: Can apple cider vinegar improve liver health?
Fatty liver disease, particularly Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), is a growing health concern, affecting an estimated 30.2% of the world's population. Prevalence varies by region, with rates above 40% in the Americas and Southeast Asia. What exactly is Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)? Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a condition where excess fat builds up in the liver, not caused by heavy alcohol consumption. It's often linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. NAFLD encompasses a spectrum of conditions, from simple fat buildup (NAFL) to more serious inflammation and scarring (NASH), fibrosis, cirrhosis, or may even lead to liver cancer. Now, among many other home remedies that claim natural fixes for fatty liver, apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a popular one. Rich is acetic acid, ACV is frequently touted for its ability to boost metabolism and manage weight. Could this kitchen staple really reduce liver fat and support liver function? Could Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) help with fatty liver? Apple cider vinegar is a type of vinegar made from fermented apple juice. It's created through a two-step fermentation process, first converting apple juice into alcohol and then into acetic acid, the main component responsible for its sour taste and potential health benefits. Now, multiple animal studies indicate that vinegar, including ACV, helps reduce liver fat and improve metabolic markers: A 2025 study on rainbow trout with NAFLD showed that low-concentration ACV (≈ 2%) significantly reduced steatosis, triglycerides, and enzyme markers (ALT, AST). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Donating Sperm May Boost Your Income SpellRock Undo However, higher doses (≈ 4%) worsened the condition. In rodent models fed a high-fat diet, ACV led to reduced liver fat, improved insulin resistance (lower HOMA‑IR), better lipid profiles, and lowered glucose levels. Liver enzyme levels improved as steatosis decreased from ~56% to ~20% in some studies. These studies suggest that acetic acid in ACV may enhance fat oxidation and reduce metabolic stress. However, these benefits are documented only in animals, not humans. Human research regarding ACV is much more limited. According to a 2021 review of studies , ACV may help decrease cholesterol and fasting glucose. Based on this, apple cider may indirectly help fatty liver disease. However, more research is needed on any direct relationship between apple cider vinegar and fatty liver disease. ACV: Potential benefits and real limitations Possible metabolic support: ACV's acetic acid may help regulate blood glucose and lipid metabolism, especially when combined with calorie control and weight loss efforts. However, the risks weigh heavier. Excessive ACV use can cause tooth enamel erosion, gingival burns, low potassium levels, and digestive discomfort. It can also interact with insulin or diuretic medications, so moderation is crucial. The recommended amount of intake is no more than about 1–2 tablespoons daily, diluted in water. Furthermore, health professionals caution against viewing ACV as a cure, stressing that it's a supplement, not a treatment. How to safely incorporate ACV in your daily diet If you want to try diluted apple cider vinegar: Use raw, unfiltered ACV (with 'the mother') and dilute each tablespoon in a full glass of water. Limit intake to 1–2 tablespoons per day, especially during periods longer than 12 weeks. Take after meals, not on an empty stomach. Rinse your mouth afterward or drink through a straw to protect the tooth enamel. Monitor for side effects: gastrointestinal upset, acid reflux, or electrolyte imbalance. Seek medical advice if you take diabetes or potassium-affecting medications. The information presented in this article is intended for educational and informational purposes only.
