Could Certain Foods Trigger My Frequent Headaches?
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?
General Physician
Answered on 22nd July '24
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.

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.

You are facing an issue with putting on muscle mass, although you follow a good diet. It is worth mentioning that this could also be a consequence of poor digestion. Having symptoms such as a tendency to have loose stools often could be a sign of digestive problems. Seeing a doctor's advice is a must. Including more easily Digestible foods such as bananas, rice, and toast will be helpful. Besides, taking in enough water can be effective in digestion.

I've recently started working night shifts and find it hard to maintain a healthy eating routine. Can you suggest some meal planning tips and healthy snacks for someone with an irregular schedule?
Male | 26
Swimming at night can affect your eating habits, leading to drowsiness and poor health. To stay fit, plan your meals for the day or week in advance. Include a balance of proteins, fiber, and fats from natural foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains. Planning meals helps you avoid unhealthy choices at odd times. Keep easy and tasty snacks like yogurt with nuts or cut-up vegetables handy. Drink water and try to avoid sugary drinks to stay hydrated.

Is there any problem eating chicken daily as boiled as for source of protein after the gynocomastia surgery
Male | 21
One can eat chicken daily after getting surgery for gynecomastia with no problems. For example, chicken is high in protein which is useful for the healing process of your body. However, it is to be eaten only after it has been boiled to keep the chicken healthy. The occurrence of any swelling or pain in the chest indicates a problem. If so, let your doctor know as soon as possible so that they can assist you.

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.

B12 and folate deficiency treatment
Male | 22
Vitamin B12 and folate insufficiencies often show up with symptoms like tiredness, weakness, and some neurological troubles. Insufficient diet, some medical issues, and absorption barriers are some basic contributors. To overcome these deficits, one has to take B12-rich foods like meat, milk, and cereal that have been fortified, and also folate-rich foods such as green vegetables, beans, and oranges. Sometimes, they have to apply supplements. I suggest you visit a nurse/physician for your assessment and counseling because they will be the ones who can tell you what to do.

Kidney stone problem need an Indian diet chart pdf
Male | 53
Kidney stones are solid particles made up of minerals that could result in pain, urinary blood, and difficulty in passing urine. While they commonly emerge from dehydration, diet, or other related things, the situation is not impossible to be solved. For a solution, the guarantee is you will be consuming a lot of water every day along with fiber intake and low salt diet. Introduce minerals, vitamins, and fiber into your diet, while consuming animal protein and oxalate-rich foods like spinach in small quantities. It is best to see a deitician for a personalized diet plan.

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.

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.

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.

Can we eat egg and banana
Male | 19
Yes, it is generally safe to consume eggs and bananas together. Some individuals may experience mild digestive discomfort due to their unique protein and carbohydrate combinations, leading to symptoms like bloating or gas. If this occurs, consider eating them separately. Incorporating a balanced diet with various foods is key to overall health. If you notice persistent discomfort or have specific dietary concerns, you should consult a healthcare professional who can give you personalized advice.

It is a pattern of consumption that is intermittent fasting where you abstain from eating for a certain number of hours and then eat for the rest of the day. Nonetheless, some find it useful, while others disregard it. But the fact is that not every individual can be a candidate for such a diet plan. Being moody, sleepy, or lightheaded are some potential risks. Consult a dietician before you decide to start.

Can i take creatine and whey protein after getting tb
Male | 21
After contracting TB, it is important to be cautious if you are using creatine and whey protein. These supplements can put undue stress on your body, which is still in recovery. It is better to wait until you have made a full recovery and your doctor has given you clearance before integrating them into your meal plan. Focus on strengthening your body through natural foods rather than relying solely on supplements.

Patient is recovering from chemo. Need guidance on recovery diet
Male | 62
Diet during chemotherapy should include high protein (source of protein is different for vegetarians & non-vegetarians). Fluid intake should be around 2.5-3 liters per day.
The overall diet should be a balanced one which include all types of vegetables, fruits, dairy products, grains, cereals.
Meals can be divided into small portions consumed every 2-3 hrs.
Avoid roadside prepared, fried, spicy and old foods.
Meals should be prepared fresh and be consumed on the same day.
