Anna Hazare, who was admitted in a hospital here after he ended his 12-day fast for a strong Lokpal Bill, is stable and moving towards normalcy, doctors said on Monday.

“Nobody knows when he will be discharged. His condition is stable. He has to be monitored. Usually, it takes 2—3 days.

When his parameters are established and his body starts tolerating and digesting food, only then he can go,” Chairman of Medanta Medicity, Dr. Naresh Trehan, who was monitoring Mr. Hazare’s health during his fast, said.

The 74-year-old activist was brought to the hospital on Sunday after he called off his hunger strike.

Mr. Hazare wants to take rest and has declined requests to meet him because he is “still very weak”, Dr. Trehan said, adding various tests have established that the activist’s liver and kidneys were normal.

Pistachio nuts could provide a caffeine-free and healthy alternative to the popular hot coffee, say researchers.

The search for a caffeine-free coffee has often proven less than fruitful, with versions of the drink which lack not just caffeine’s kick, but flavour. Now, a team at University of York claims to have found a possible solution in a type of pistachio nut.

The researchers claim that carefully roasted, the fruit of the Pistacia terebinthus tree, which is much smaller than normal pistachios, could offer all the flavour of coffee, with none of the kick - as well as being significantly cheaper.

According to them, pistacia has the same chemical “signature” as real, caffeinated, coffee - meaning it can be made to have the same taste and aroma.

The researchers found that when they roasted the Pistacia terebinthus nuts for 20 minutes at 200 degrees they started to show a volatile chemical profile similar to roasted coffee beans, ‘The Daily Telegraph’ reported.

New Delhi:  Doctors attending on Anna Hazare on Saturday expressed worry over the fasting social activist's falling blood pressure and said he should end his fast, which entered day 12, as his health has begun to deteriorate.

"His blood pressure that was earlier steady has come down and his heart rate has increased. The cause of worry is the falling blood pressure," Naresh Trehan who is monitoring Hazare's health along with his team, told reporters here at Ramlila Maidan.

"His blood pressure has come down from 140 mmHG (millimetres of mercury) to 120 mmHG," Trehan said. "We have taken blood samples. Results will be available by evening."
