New Delhi, Oct 23 : Union Home Minister Amit Shah has revealed that he lost over 20 kilograms and reversed his diabetes over the past four years through consistent, simple lifestyle changes. Speaking at the ‘Healthy Liver Healthy India’ event organised by the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS) in New Delhi on World Liver Day, Shah detailed how small adjustments reshaped his health and energy.
“Since May 2020, I have transformed my life and reversed diabetes by improving sleep, hydration, diet, and regular exercise,” Shah said.
