Male | 28
Eat 5000 calories every single day, problems may arise. High-calorie intake leads to issues: weight gain, blood pressure spikes, diabetes risk increases, heart troubles develop. Consume nutritious foods instead - fruits, and vegetables provide vitamins, lean proteins build muscle, and whole grains give fiber. Avoid sugary drinks filled with empty calories. Also, unhealthy fats are detrimental.

I have PCOD problem, I have gallstone problem. I have excess weight. I have high cholesterol. What should be diet plan for me
Female | 31
First, PCOD, which causes irregular periods, acne, and weight gain. Eating a balanced diet with lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins can help manage it. Next up, gallstones. These can cause abdominal pain after fatty foods. Limiting greasy, fatty foods in your diet is advisable. Excess weight puts strain on your body, worsening PCOD and gallstones. Eating smaller portions and staying active aids weight loss. High cholesterol can lead to heart problems too. Reducing saturated fats from butter, red meat, fried foods helps lower cholesterol. Instead, opt for healthier fats like nuts, seeds, olive oil. Making these dietary changes positively impacts your health.

I need gestational diebetic diet plan...
Female | 31
Gestational diabetes occurs when your body struggles to process sugar during pregnancy. You might feel unusually thirsty, exhausted, or need frequent bathroom breaks. These signs happen because your cells can't use sugar efficiently. Eating nutritious foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins helps regulate blood glucose levels. Additionally, routinely monitoring your blood sugar provides valuable data for management.

I am 22 years old with a body weight of 48 kg would like to gain extra weight what can I do. Which tablet can I take? My friend told me to take vitamin B12 what's your take on that and which one can I take for weight gain?
Female | 22
B12 vitamin acts mainly as an energizer and metabolism booster it is not a weight gain medicine. Gaining weight requires eating more calories mainly from healthy fats and proteins. Fruits like avocados and nuts along with lean meats are preferable. Consult a dietitian for an individualized plan for healthy weight gain.

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.
