Can dietary changes help manage menopause weight gain?

Patient's Query

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?

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

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.

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.

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.

Hi! I have started taking a vitamin C/Zinc immune supplement for the winter. It has 270 mg of vitamin C, and 15 mg of zinc. I am also taking biotin. Does this interfere with Nexplanon?

Female | 37

The conceivable side effects of the implant include lessened bleeding, mood swings, or headaches, but those are not most often vitamins or nutritional supplements. Biotin intake, too, would not influence Nexplanon in all likelihood. Nevertheless, reactions may be different in different people. Should you have any specific concerns or feel some symptoms that are not common, it is better to see your healthcare professional.

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 am a 12 year old boy, how long can I take magnesium effervescent tablets?

Slecht | 12

Magnesium effervescent tablets are healthy, but make sure you don't take them longer than prescribed without consulting a doctor first. Overusing them might give you time to get sicker. Proper magnesium intake aids in the normal functioning of the body, but it is wiser to seek advice from an elder if you plan to use them for a long time.

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.

Female | 16

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.
