Solution

I can never forget the day when I turned five. I still feel nostalgic when I remember that day, as it is etched in my mind forever. Since it was my birthday, my grandfather wanted to gift me something that was both priceless and timeless. A true farmer at heart, he took me to the corner of our garden and helped me plant a mango sapling. Each year we watched it grow, but I was eager to eat its fruit. My grandfather said that one has to have patience, as Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. I did not realise its worth till the time my grandfather passed away and the tree bore fruit exactly 12 years later. As I bit into the first ripe mango fresh off the tree, it tasted heavenly, and I relished every bit of its pure sweetness. I also remembered my grandfather’s words, which will serve as a beacon in my life.

Naturally occurring platinum and platinum - rich alloys have been known for a long time. The Spaniards named the metal ‘platina’ or little silver, when they first encountered it in Colombia. The platinum group metals are rhodium, ruthenium, palladium, osmium, iridium and platinum. Of these, platinum is the most important. These metals are very similar in many ways and are extremely rare.
On an average, there is only a gramme of ruthenium in each tonne of the rock and barely a gramme of rhodium in over a 1000 tonnes of rock! Platinum’s wear and tarnish resistance characteristics are well suited for making fine jewellery. Other distinctive properties include - resistance to chemical attack, excellent high temperature characteristics and stable electrical properties. These metals are uniquely durable and can be used extremely efficiently - meaning that a very little goes a very long way. When recycled, over 96 percent can be recovered. The platinum group metals - or PGMS - plays an important role in our everyday life, for they are used in so many things from fountain pens to aircraft turbines. In fact, one in four of the goods manufactured today either contain one or the other of these metals. The catalytic converter - a pollution control device - is the largest application of platinum group metals.

Think of the special occasions in life when excess body weight becomes a huge liability and a quicker solution is the need for those situations when one wants to lose weight faster but does not want to undergo a surgery. The emerging solution to such worries is ESG, the latest innovation in the field. Team mohak is adept in handling this novel non-surgical procedure and is already ahead in India.

A non-surgical endoscopic procedure to reduce weight, it needs no incisions. The entire procedure takes place through the mouth using an endoscopic suturing system. It reduces the stomach to one-fourth in size limits the amount of calories absorbed and prolongs the time food remains in the stomach, extending the feeling of fullness.

Since ESG is not a surgery, it causes no incisions or scars, facilitating faster recovery and healing. ESG reduces the size of the stomach as with a surgical sleeve gastrectomy but does not involve the removal of any portions of the stomach. This is a key difference.

Actual weight loss will vary based on starting weight, motivation level and adherence to our dietary recommendations. Current studies suggest a total body weight loss of up to 20%.

Absolutely a large number of patients suffering from diabetes, hypertension and sleep apnea, etc. are leading a disease-free life, once they have achieved the desired weight loss after undergoing ESG procedure at Mohak- the ESG leader in India.
