What is the best chicken pox treatment plan?

Chiken pox treatment and diet

Answered on 8th July '24

Chickenpox, a supe­r contagious viral illness, leads to yucky, itchy red spots appe­aring everywhere­. It easily spreads through snee­zes or contact with fluid-filled blisters. Symptoms are­ feeling hot and icky, complete­ exhaustion, and not wanting any food. To ease te­rrible itching, slather on soothing calamine lotion. Drink tons of liquids and nibble­ soft foods since throat soreness make­s swallowing difficult. Rest up and resist scratching those spots to pre­vent ugly scars.

Hi, I'm a 50-year-old female going through menopause and have gained weight. What dietary changes can I make to manage my weight and alleviate menopause symptoms?

Female | 50

It is not uncommon to gain some weight during menopause due to hormonal changes. To promote weight loss and lessen your symptoms, introduce a balanced diet. Incorporate as many fruits, greens, whole grains, and lean proteins as possible into your diet. And don't forget to refrain from drinking sugary drinks and eating foods high in saturated fats. In addition, water helps keep your body hydrated and exercise is a normal part of every day. This, in turn, can also contribute to keeping a healthy weight and stopping menopause symptoms.

How much sucralose % used in plant protein powder by companies? And it is safe or not.

Male | 27

Sucralose is frequently added to plant-based protein powders in the form of small amounts in order to make it taste sweeter and not cause any extra calories. Previously conducted research has shown that sucralose can be a safe option for most people if its use is not abused. On the contrary, there are few people who might undergo digestive discomforts such as bloating, and gas when sucralose is consumed. In case you notice any weird symptoms after taking in such products, the wisest move is to lower the dose and to see a doctor.

My 10-year-old daughter has been diagnosed with a gluten intolerance. What are some kid-friendly gluten-free meal ideas that are also nutritious?

Female | 37

She cannot digest gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. If she consumes gluten, she may experience stomach pain, rashes, and diarrhea. However, there are plenty of nutritious and tasty foods she can enjoy, such as rice, quinoa, fruits, vegetables, beans, meats, and fish.

Some meal ideas include a rice and vegetable stir fry, a fruit and yogurt parfait for breakfast, or a turkey and vegetable sandwich on gluten-free bread for lunch. Always read labels carefully to ensure products are gluten-free. While starting a gluten-free diet might seem challenging, with time and creativity, she can enjoy a healthy and delicious diet without issues.

I'm feeling dizzy after eat

Male | 22

Dizziness after eating is a condition that can be caused by various factors. Sometimes it happens that your blood sugar levels fluctuate too fast right after you eat. In some cases, though, this might be low blood pressure. Besides rapid eating, some foods can cause dizziness. Try eating slowly, skipping meals if you can, and drinking enough water. If this is the case, you should see a doctor.

My 8-year-old son is a very picky eater and refuses to eat vegetables. How can I ensure he's getting all the necessary nutrients?

Female | 36

Frequently, kids are selective eaters, but they need to satisfy the proper nutrition to grow up healthy and strong. If your son avoids vegetables, you can attempt to mix them with his favorite meals such as smoothies or pasta sauce. The choice of some fruits, grains, and various types of proteins like meat, eggs, and beans as opposed to only one product will be given to kids.

How long we should use plant protein powder?

Male | 27

It's a good idea to use plant-based protein supplements, especially if you are trying to improve your diet or participate in fitness activities. For the most part, they can be safely integrated into the diet by trying them for some weeks or even for a couple of months. If you experience abdominal pain or bloating while consuming plant-based proteins, it is best to either decrease the amounts you are taking or change the protein sources.

I'm training for a marathon and want to make sure my diet supports my training. What should I be eating before and after my runs to maximize performance and recovery?

Male | 29

Consume food containing carbohydrates and protein two-three hours before the run to be full of energy. The protein shake makes sure your muscles grow and get rid of fat every weekend. If you keep your body hydrated throughout the day, it might prevent dehydration and tiredness. A wide array of fruits, vegetables, proteins, and whole grains can be included in a diet to help improve the performance of your workouts.

My 70-year-old mother has osteoporosis. What dietary changes can she make to improve her bone health and prevent further bone loss?

Female | 70

To help your mom's osteoporosis, eat foods with calcium and Vitamin D, such as milk products, leafy vegetables, and fish. The consumption of such nutrients strengthens bones. Steer clear of caffeinated drinks and alcoholic drinks, as they will harm your bones. Consistent exercise, for example, walking and lifting light weights, can keep a good level of bone health. A healthy diet and sufficient activity are not possible without which our bones will be much weaker.

I'm recovering from surgery and want to support my healing process with proper nutrition. What foods should I focus on to aid in recovery?

Male | 36

For your body to heal faster, you should eat more protein, such as chicken, fish, eggs, and beans. Protein is what helps to build and repair the tissues in your body. Eating vegetables and fruits will provide you with the necessary vitamins and minerals that help you get better. Moreover, drink enough water to avoid dehydration. These are the food sources that will provide your body the nutrients it needs to heal and recover.

Can we take plant protein and probiotics capsules together?

Male | 27

It is safe to take the two simultaneously - the plant protein and the probiotics capsules. Plant protein assists in the muscle-building process while probiotics ensure proper gut health. The only rare case with this combination might be slight abdominal discomfort. If you are bloated or gassy, then it would be good if you could try taking them at different times. Also, drink a lot of water with both.

I often feel tired and sluggish during the day. Could my diet be the reason for this, and what foods can help boost my energy levels?

Feeling exhausted and reluctant to do anything can be draining. The foods we eat can help us feel more energetic throughout the day. Consuming too much sugary or processed food can leave you feeling low on energy. However, the opposite happens if you eat the right kinds of food. Foods that boost your energy include fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and proteins.

I am 19 years old . I am completely fine I have no diseases but I am unable to gain weight from last 4/ 5 years . At first I have proper weight but now I am only 38 kg , I feel very under confident due to less weight . What can I do for weight gain and also I want to ask can I use livcon and assicon syrup as many people recommended this .

Female | 19

Being underweight can be due to factors like metabolism, insufficient calorie intake, or certain health conditions. To gain weight, focus on a diet that includes adequate protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates. Include fruits, vegetables, and protein sources like chicken, fish, or beans. Additionally, doing strength training exercises can help increase muscle mass. Livcon and Assicon syrups are not typically prescribed for weight gain, so it’s best to consult a doctor before starting any new medication. Your health and wellness should be a priority, so eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly to gain weight healthily.
