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.

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.

Carni-LC syrup is often prescribed for children lacking essential nutrients needed for healthy growth and energy. It can help if your child has low energy, feels tired, or has a poor appetite. The syrup is safe when used as directed. For best results, pair it with a balanced diet to support your child's overall health.

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.

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.

I've read a lot about intermittent fasting. Is it a safe and effective method for weight loss, and what are some potential risks I should be aware of?
Female | 23
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.

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 23 years old female and I’m under weight, I’ve tried so many weight gain syrup but none worked for me. What should I do?
Female | 23
It's important to know the cause of you being underweight. It may be a result of you not eating enough or a medical problem. A doctor can assist you in determining the reason. Try to eat more high-calorie foods such as nuts, avocados, and cheese. Additionally, strength training exercises can be a way to achieve muscle mass. Also, ensure that you are hydrated and sleep well enough.

Four years ago, I followed the keto diet for weight loss, and it stopped, and it caused me a relapse, lethargy, and laziness in a very stressful way. Until now, I get tired and feel exhausted for the least effort. Can I take a nutritional supplement that treats stress and laziness and boosts energy, and if I stop taking the supplement, it does not affect my energy again
Female | 37
You had difficulties following the keto diet routine. Tiredness and laziness indicated vitamin deficits and low energy supply. A B-complex vitamin could help. B vitamins aid energy creation and stress relief. They may energize your body and reduce exhaustion. However, consult a dietician before taking any supplements.

Not been able to eat properly since last couple of weeks. Have been losing weight significantly. Currently at 66 kg with 182cm height. Guessing poor metabolism and a slight constipation could be the cause.
Male | 25
Seems to me like you're having a problem with food and weight loss. Some possible options could be that your body is not properly digesting food which can lead to weight loss and constipation. Instead of eating large meals, try to have smaller meals more often and add plenty of fiber-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables to your diet. Besides drinking a lot of water, being active can also enhance your metabolism. See a dietitian if the situation doesn't improve.
