Mumbai: In a unique and thoughtful initiative to commemorate World Liver Day, Gleneagles Hospital, Mumbai, conducted a special session titled “Food is Medicine.” This engaging event highlighted the importance of nutrition in maintaining liver health. Celebrity Chef Sanjeev Kapoor graced the occasion to share his expertise on the role of food in preventive health and wellness. Present on the occasion were Celebrity Chef Sanjeev Kapoor, Mr Cyrus Brocha, Mr Kunal Vijaykar, Dr Suhas Awchat, Ms Roopa Nabar, and doctors.
Liver diseases are becoming increasingly common across all age groups due to a mix of lifestyle factors, including poor dietary choices. Symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice, swelling, and abdominal pain often go unnoticed. Hence, conditions like fatty liver, hepatitis, and cirrhosis are on the rise in people of all age groups.
Dr Anurag Shrimal, Director – HPB Surgery, Pancreas, Intestine & Liver transplant, Gleneagles Hospital, said, “Currently, youngsters aged 23-30 are getting diagnosed with fatty liver due to constant consumption of sugary, fatty, junk, canned, and processed foods. It is therefore imperative that individuals begin to pay close attention to their eating habits. What we eat plays a direct role in how well our liver functions.
An awareness session like this comes at the right time and is expected to be an eye-opener for many and redirect them to pay attention to their liver by adopting healthy lifestyle choices such as a well-balanced diet and exercise. This session raises awareness and empowers people to take action in simple, everyday ways. Events like these are essential to change the health narrative and improve outcomes through better lifestyle decisions,” said Dr Chetan Kalal, Associate Director – Hepatology & Liver Transplant at Gleneagles Hospital
Celebrity Chef Sanjeev Kapoor said, “Just like we take care of our heart, it is essential to look after our liver too. Our eating habits have a direct impact on how well our organs function. This session is a wonderful opportunity to share practical food choices that support liver health.
At Gleneagles Hospital, we are committed to the overall well-being of our patients. We continuously explore new and impactful ways to serve society better. Organizing a session such as ‘Food is Medicine’ on World Liver Day is one such unique initiative that underscores our dedication. It is crucial to prioritize liver health, and events like these help people understand the value of regular check-ups, preventive care, and lifestyle modifications. The hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art liver care facilities, offering advanced diagnostics, expert consultations, and comprehensive treatment options. Our multidisciplinary liver team ensures that patients receive timely and personalized care, right from early detection to complex interventions,” said Dr. Ameet Mandot, Director – Department of Hepatology and Liver Transplant Medicine, Gleneagles Hospitals Parel, Mumbai.
