In the journey toward healthier living, even the smallest kitchen choices can have a profound impact on our well-being. One such choice is the cooking oil we use, which can significantly influence our health. Among the many options available, rice bran oil stands out for those seeking both nutritional benefits and culinary versatility.

This outer layer is rich in essential nutrients, including oryzanol, an antioxidant present in concentrations of over 10,000 ppm. Oryzanol is known for its ability to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) while maintaining good cholesterol (HDL). This makes rice bran oil a heart-healthy alternative to common cooking oils like vegetable or sunflower oil. Its balanced fatty acid profile, with an equal ratio of polyunsaturated (PUFA) and monounsaturated (MUFA) fats, supports cardiovascular health and helps manage cholesterol levels.

The versatility of rice bran oil is another significant advantage. With a high smoke point of approximately 232°C, it is suitable for a variety of cooking methods, including frying, sautéing, and baking. Unlike some oils that degrade and release harmful compounds when heated, rice bran oil remains stable, ensuring that your dishes are both nutritious and flavourful. Its neutral taste complements a wide range of ingredients, enhancing the natural flavours of your meals.

What Experts Say about Rice Bran Oil:

Speaking at the ICRBO 2023 Dr. Rohini Sharma, Ph. D. Food Science and Nutrition, Consultant Food Technologist, Consultant Nutritionist, and Life Coach at International Conference on Rice Bran oil (ICRBO), “Rice Bran Oil is very good for day to day cooking. It is a very healthy oil and more people should know the benefits of using the Rice Bran Oil. Rice Bran Oil has a balanced fatty profile with PUFA and MUFA in the ratio of 1:1, and very low saturated fatty acids. It is rich in nutraceuticals – Oryzanol, tocopherol, and tocotrienols which are natural Antioxidants. Oryzanol present in Rice Bran Oil reduces Bad Cholesterol (LDL) and maintains Good Cholesterol (HDL). We all should shift towards making a healthier choice in our kitchen by switching to Rice bran oil.”

Speaking at the ICRBO 2023 Dr. Sheryl Salis, Registered Dietitian (RD), Certified Diabetes Educator, Insulin Pump Specialist, and Founder -of Nurture Health Solutions “We recommend people to use Rice Bran Oil, as it is Made in India and ideally suited to our Indian palate. The National Institution of Nutrition (NIN), ICMR, WHO, and several heart organizations have regularly promoted the use of Rice Bran Oil. In clinical practice, we are witnessing a lot of young people suffering from diabetes and heart diseases. We are constantly copying Western countries and are not focusing on our products like Rice bran oil.”

To educate the masses about the health benefits, Freedom Rice Bran Oil is operating a new campaign titled ‘Cholesterol ki Safai ka Specialist.’ This campaign reinforces the message that ‘Rice Bran Oil Kare Andar Se Safai’, focuses on the oil’s role in maintaining heart health. By highlighting how rice bran oil helps clear built-up cholesterol in the body, the campaign underscores the importance of incorporating it into daily cooking. Emphasizing the oil’s high oryzanol content, along with its ability to manage cholesterol levels, the campaign aims to educate consumers on its health benefits.

Mrs. Saraswathi, a homemaker who recently switched to rice bran oil, shares, “Using rice bran oil has transformed the way I cook. It adds a lightness to dishes that my family loves, and I feel confident knowing it supports their overall health. The oil’s ability to create a crisp, light texture in fried foods allows me to prepare comforting meals without compromising on nutrition.”

Freedom Rice Bran Oil not only prioritizes health but also ensures quality through careful sourcing and production. The brand’s commitment to preserving the oil’s nutritional value and natural antioxidants ensures that consumers fully benefit from its health-promoting properties.

Mr. P. Chandra Shekhara Reddy, Senior Vice President – Sales & Marketing at Freedom Rice Bran Oil, said, “More than just a cooking essential, Freedom Rice Bran Oil has become a trusted ally for health-conscious consumers. With over 10,000 ppm of oryzanol, we are dedicated to providing a product that supports both taste and wellness. Our focus on quality and nutrition empowers consumers to make informed choices, contributing to a healthier and more vibrant lifestyle.”

Incorporating rice bran oil into your cooking routine is an easy yet impactful step toward better health. Its balanced fatty acid profile, high smoke point, and neutral flavour make it an excellent choice for a wide range of dishes. By choosing Freedom Rice Bran Oil, you enhance the taste of your meals while embracing a healthier approach to cooking that benefits both you and your family.

Bengaluru, 9th September 2024- In a case described as “one in a million,” a team of doctors at Aster Whitefield Hospital successfully treated an 8-year-old girl suffering from trichobezoar, a condition caused by trichophagia, the compulsive eating of hair also known as Rapunzel Syndrome.

It started as an innocent habit. For two years, Aditi (name changed), the young girl from Bengaluru experienced intermittent bouts of poor appetite and frequent vomiting. Her parents, puzzled by her persistent symptoms, sought help from numerous doctors, but each diagnosis and treatment failed to bring relief. Little did they know, the answer lay within their daughter’s unique and rare behavior—an answer that would lead to a rare medical condition.

The family, living in a close-knit, affluent joint household, became increasingly worried as their daughter’s condition deteriorated. Initial evaluations by paediatricians, general physicians, and ENT specialists suggested gastritis and prescribed multivitamins. It wasn’t until a month ago that the puzzle began to unravel when the girl was admitted to the Paediatric Emergency at Aster Women and Children Hospital, Whitefield, Bengaluru.

After being transferred to Aster Whitefield Hospital for further examination it was revealed that she had a trichobezoar which is basically hair mass stuck inside the gastrointestinal tract. This exceptional condition resulted from severe symptoms which are linked to trichophagia- compulsive eating of hair. The medical team led by Dr. Manjiri Somashekhar, the Lead & Senior Consultant – Paediatric Surgery, Dr. Sethu Mohan K, Senior Specialist – Pediatric surgery and Dr. Aravind A, Consultant – Paediatrics and paediatrics Intensive Care addressed this complex case.

Dr. Manjiri Somashekhar, Lead & Senior Consultant – Paediatric Surgery, Aster Women and Children Hospital, Whitefield explains, “Trichobezoar is an extremely rare condition and especially very rare in a child as young as Aditi. It is often associated with trichophagia, a psychological disorder where individuals eat hair. While commonly seen in adolescent girls, finding this in a much younger child is extraordinary and highlights the uniqueness of this case.”

Aditi underwent an open surgery to remove the hairball as it was too large and sticky to be removed endoscopically. The surgical team decided on this approach to prevent spillage into the peritoneal cavity, a choice that proved effective. The surgery lasted two and a half hours, and Aditi was hospitalized for a week for postoperative care.

“If left undiagnosed, this condition could have led to severe malnutrition, anaemia, and significant bleeding from the stomach,” Dr. Sethu Mohan K, Senior Specialist – Pediatric surgery, Aster Women and Children Hospital, Whitefield emphasized. “The hairball could have embedded into the stomach lining, causing severe bleeding during removal and potentially leading to life-threatening complications such as perforation.”

Following the surgery, Aditi was placed on a high-protein diet and partial parenteral nutrition to address her malnutrition. She also received counselling to manage her trichophagia. A child psychologist is overseeing her mental health, with her family closely involved in the treatment plan.

“The surgery was intricate and demanding,” recalled Dr. Aravind A, Consultant – Paediatrics and Paediatrics Intensive Care, Aster Women and Children Hospital, Whitefield. “But it was the only way to ensure the best outcome for our young patient.”

The child’s parents were initially shocked by the diagnosis. Extensive counselling was required to help them understand the condition and the critical nature of the treatment. Their cooperation was instrumental in early identification of symptoms and seeking appropriate medical care. The family’s vigilance and support continue to play a vital role in the child’s recovery.

The long-term prognosis for the child is positive, provided she continues to receive psychological support and regular monitoring. Preventive measures include educating parents about the signs of trichophagia, such as sparse hair in the frontal scalp area, and the importance of psychological assessment in conjunction with surgical treatment.

HCAH, a leading provider of comprehensive out-of-hospital healthcare solutions in India, has taken a significant step towards promoting rapid patient recovery with the introduction of a groundbreaking initiative aimed at enhancing healing processes.

This comprehensive curriculum focuses on the latest wound care techniques, a crucial element in preventing bed sores. Bed sores, also known as pressure ulcers, can significantly slow the recovery process and increase complications. Equipping nurses with the most up-to-date knowledge ensures patients receive the highest quality care, leading to faster recovery times and improved outcomes.

“We’re proud to support HCAH Rehab & Recovery Centre’s commitment to enhancing post-surgery care, especially for patients with bedsores,” says Dr. Patrick Hunt, Director of Business Development at Aroa Biosurgery. “As exclusive partners in India, Bangladesh, and Nepal, we recognize the importance of specialized training. We’re pleased to support the certification program and provide expert-led sessions from New Zealand on using Endoform and Myriad. Our technology aims to reduce wound care time, cost, and effort, allowing nursing resources to be utilized more effectively.”

HCAH remains committed to advancing wound care through ongoing research, education, and training. The ‘WOW Nurses’ initiative marks a significant leap forward, redefining care standards and setting new benchmarks for patient-centered healthcare.

For those seeking post-hospitalization rehabilitation care, HCAH’s services are worth considering. The WOW Nurses ensure patients receive optimal wound care, facilitating a faster and more comfortable recovery journey.
