These issues often arise from a lack of essential nutrients, especially if vegetables aren't part of your diet. Try incorporating iron-rich foods like nuts, beans, or fortified cereals, and consider adding fruits to promote overall health. If you struggle with vegetables, explore different cooking methods or try smoothies. Frequent illnesses may indicate a weakened immune system, so prioritizing a balanced diet and possibly consulting a healthcare professional would be beneficial for your well-being.

Want to increase weight and also want to feel brighter skin

Male | 24

To boost weight and lighten skin, ensure a diet with a mix of foods that have fats, carbs, proteins, and vitamins. Content like avocados, nuts, and fish combined with an increased intake of water, can allow for healthy skin. Muscle growth is another purpose of sports; for example, strength training. For the skin's sparkle, undergo products that contain vitamin C and limit exposure to the sun. A significant portion of lifestyle changes can be seen as a positive outcome; still, you should consult with a healthcare professional for guidance that is personalized in nature.

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.

Hi, I've been experiencing frequent headaches and someone suggested it might be related to my diet. Are there certain foods that could be triggering my headaches?

Female | 27

There is no doubt that the food can be the trigger of headaches. Some usual suspects are processed meats, aged cheeses, beer, and foods with monosodium glutamate (MSG). These substances may have adverse effects on the blood vessels in the brain, which eventually lead to headaches. If you start to experience a headache you can add it to the diary. Once you identify a particular food item, you might want to eliminate it from your diet to see if the headaches get better.

Can I take feroglobin together with wellwoman original and multivitamins gummies

Female | 34

You can generally take Feroglobin with Wellwoman Original and multivitamin gummies together, as they typically contain complementary nutrients. However, it's important to be aware of your dietary intake to avoid excessive doses of certain vitamins and minerals. Monitoring how your body feels is crucial; if you notice any unusual symptoms like nausea or fatigue, it may be wise to reassess the combination. For personalized advice, I recommend consulting your healthcare provider to ensure this combination fits your specific health needs. It's always best to prioritize your wellness with professional guidance.

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.

My toddler has severe food allergies. How can I ensure he gets a balanced diet while avoiding allergens, and what are some safe, nutritious alternatives?

Female | 33

A diet that is complete and free from allergens is essential. Milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish are the most commonly found allergens. It is important to search for other alternatives that are safe and nutritious, such as fruit, vegetables, rice, quinoa, beans, and meats. A dietitian can support you in developing a customized meal plan to make sure your child gets all the necessary nutrients. It is also necessary to monitor the symptoms of rashes, stomachache, vomiting, and shortness of breath that might appear after consuming food. If you recognize any of these symptoms, the advice is to stop feeding them that food and to contact an allergist for further testing and evaluation.

Can i have Limcee 500mg VitC tablet everyday? I am not into any medication

Female | 19

Taking Limcee 500mg of VitC every day is perfectly okay. Your body's immune system is more powerful against infections thanks to the vitamin C, and your skin remains in good condition. Vitamin C deficiency may result in you feeling fatigued and frequently getting ill. A daily dose of one tablet would be really good for you. But it is also good to eat fruits and vegetables that are high in vitamin C as well.

Hi yesterday I purchased multivitamin tablets from optum nutrition so my question is I won't do any kind of workout currently can I consume the tablet everyday

Male | 33

 Many vitamins and minerals that your body needs for general health can be obtained from these supplements that fill the nutritional gaps. Even though physical activity may be beneficial to individuals, the latter can be also said. A good nutrient supply is necessary for the energy levels, immune function, and mood. But make sure to take the recommended dose. If you face any non-typical symptoms, or in the case of any other health disorders, it would be wise to get a consultation with your dietician asking for advice personally.

Me 4 mahino se running practice kr rahi hu meri 2400 meters ki race hai 14 minute me lekin me 100 meters pr hi thak jaati hu mujhe bhot kamjori hai me aise medicines chahti hu jisse meri kamjori dur ho gaye . meri paachan shakti bhot weak hai itne dino se practice krne ke baad bhi koi result nhi nikal rha hai

Female | 24

Aapki thakan aur kamjori se ho sakta hai ki aapki diet mein kuch kami ho ya aapko sahi rest nahi mil raha ho. Aapko iron, protein, aur vitamins se bhara khana lena chahiye, jaise daal, ankurit sabziyaan, aur fruits. Hydration bhi important hai, toh paani peena mat bhooliye. Zyada practice se injury ya overtraining bhi ho sakta hai, toh apne routine ko thoda adjust karo. Aakhir mein, professional health advice lena behad zaroori hai, toh ek doctor se milne ki salahiyat zaroor rakhein.

I've been trying to cut down on sugar, but I'm not sure what to use as a substitute. Are there any natural sweeteners that you recommend which won't spike my blood sugar levels?

Male | 29

It is good that you have decided to limit your sugar intake! Stevia, a natural sweetener that you can use, is one such option here. It is made from a plant and does not make your blood sugar levels to rise. You can also go for monk fruit sweetener, another good alternative. Try to control the sweetening and not overload your diet with sweet foods. Synthetic sweeteners are not a good choice, because they can cause harm to your health.

I'm 21 year old & I have 76 kg weight . I want to burn all the fat of body.is water fast is good idea ? & Give your suggestions & tips for diet.

Male | 21

Wanting to improve­ health by reducing fat is great. Wate­r fasting, where only water is consume­d and food is avoided, can be unsafe, particularly for e­xtended periods. This could le­ad to exhaustion, dizziness, and other he­alth concerns. A balanced approach with fruits, veggie­s, whole grains, and lean proteins is wise­r. Regular exercise­ like walking or swimming also helps. This enable­s healthy fat loss.
