The Nigerian Navy on Thursday donated seven units of boreholes to seven communities in Iseyin, Oyo State, to ease water scarcity .

Oluwagbire said that when the opportunity of the project presented itself he approached the Aseyin of Iseyin, Oba Sefiu Oyebola, who identified scarcity of water as the major problem confronting the people of the affected communities.

“Out of the seven communities is a community called Igboleya , where cattle and the people of the community drink from the same water.

“This borehole is the first industrial borehole in that community,” he said.

Oluwagbire said that a visit to Osoogun, also one of the beneficiary communities and the birth place of Bishop Ajayi Crowder, the translator of The Holy Bible to Yoruba Language ,has one borehole serving the whole community.

The facilitator thanked the Chief of Naval Staff for his leadership style and commitments to impactful projects that would be of maximum benefits to the people at the grassroots.

“This is a clear demonstration of the Nigerian Navy role at not only ensuring security but also the well-being of Nigerians,” he said.

He advised the communities to take full ownership of the project by sustaining it.

The Aseyin of Iseyin,Oba Sefiu Oyebola and Honourable Oyedeji Oyeshina, House of Representatives member for Iseyin/ Itesiwaju/Kojola and Iwajowa Constituency appealed for judicious use of the boreholes.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
