Your BMI is within the normal range, which is good. To maintain a healthy life, follow a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Regular exercise, staying hydrated, and getting enough sleep are also crucial. For personalized advice, I recommend consulting a dietitian or a nutritionist who can provide a tailored plan for your needs.

my mother had an MVR surgery in December 2020, at the time of discharge doctor told her to avoid green leafy vegetables, cabbage and tomatoes. After one year of periodically visiting our doctor told us the same thing but now it's been 2 years we didn't visit the doctor because of some financial issue. Now my mother's PT is 12.6 and INR is 2.8. Now can she eat leafy greens?
Female | 54
Dark leafy vegetables are high in vitamin K, which can affect blood thinners like warfarin. High PT and INR levels mean it is taking longer for the blood to clot, indicating a potential risk if the levels are too high. Despite their heart health benefits, Mom must avoid leafy greens for now. The best thing is to consult a dietician for personalized advice and guidance.

Female | 17
In terms of diet for PCOS and hair, try to include a balanced diet made up of a lot of fruits, green vegetables, and whole grains in your meal. Avoid sugar and junk food in your diet. Regular physical activities also assist with PCOS symptoms. On the other hand, for your hair, you should eat a balanced diet with adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals, especially biotin, which is found in nuts and legumes, such as lentils, zinc in chicken and sardines, and iron in red meat and spinach. Remember, drinking enough water is also important.

I recently had my gallbladder removed and have been experiencing digestive issues. What kind of diet should I follow to manage these symptoms?
Male | 37
Even after gallbladder surgery, diarrhea, bloating, or gas is a common problem. This happens because the gallbladder is one of the key players in the digestion of fats and without it, the body struggles with the digestion of fatty foods. Eating a low-fat diet is one way to lessen these symptoms. Try consuming more fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains. Avoid greasy, fried, and spicy foods as they can cause discomfort. Eating small, frequent meals throughout the day can also help. Your body might need some time to get used to the new condition, so have patience and monitor how it reacts to different foods.

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.

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.

My mother is suffering with diabetes. She has been said to limit rice consumption. We're eating white rice in home. However,as we have heard from youtube that brown rice is good for diabetes now we switched to this.Will it make consequences in the future if over consumed?
Female | 50
Brown rice is surely a better option for diabetes than white rice which consists of more fiber and nutrients than brown rice. However, regardless of the kind of rice consumed, overconsumption can result in high blood sugar levels. Be careful to balance the number of portion sizes with other healthy foods like vegetables and lean proteins. If your mother goes through health conditions like drinking more water than usual, using the restroom frequently, or being tired all the time, it is necessary to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis.
