Union Health Minister JP Nadda on Monday attended a pledge-taking ceremony for liver health at Nirman Bhawan in the national capital, where he emphasized the importance of maintaining a healthy liver.<\/p>\n
Highlighting the importance of liver health, Nadda said, \u201cWe are fortunate to be here today. We must keep certain things in mind. First, if the liver is healthy, digestion functions well. A healthy liver aids in detoxification and energy storage.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also pointed out that when the liver is not functioning properly, it can lead to various health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and even cancer.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut if the liver is not in good condition, our body becomes vulnerable to several diseases \u2014 heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and even cancer. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to care for the liver, and the key to that is maintaining a healthy lifestyle,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Nadda stressed that people often unknowingly harm their bodies due to a lack of awareness about healthy habits. He also emphasized the need for healthcare professionals to prioritize their own health.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe biggest issue is that, knowingly or unknowingly, we do a lot of injustice to our bodies. We don\u2019t always know what is good or bad for us, and often assume we\u2019re doing fine. That\u2019s why we decided to organize this health camp \u2014 at the very least, those responsible for public health should themselves be healthy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Speaking about liver disease prevention, Nadda noted that many liver problems are reversible with timely lifestyle changes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s encouraging is that many liver-related problems are reversible. If we adopt healthier lifestyles, these issues can be resolved. The liver can heal on its own. What\u2019s important is to understand the condition and how to maintain it, even when it seems fine,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Earlier, on April 19, marking World Liver Day, Nadda urged people to reduce their edible oil intake by at least 10% and adopt healthier habits.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis #WorldLiverDay, take a pledge to reduce your edible oil intake by at least 10% and embrace a healthier lifestyle. Small changes can lead to big results when we treat food as medicine,\u201d he wrote in a post on X, responding to Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s similar call for reducing oil consumption.<\/p>\n
The Union Minister also launched a nationwide initiative to tackle liver disease: HEALD \u2014 Healthy Liver Education and Alcohol-associated Liver Disease Prevention. This first-of-its-kind program is envisioned as a multi-sectoral initiative combining public education, early screening, psychological and medical treatment for alcohol use disorders, and liver disease management.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
