Being underweight can be due to factors like metabolism, insufficient calorie intake, or certain health conditions. To gain weight, focus on a diet that includes adequate protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates. Include fruits, vegetables, and protein sources like chicken, fish, or beans. Additionally, doing strength training exercises can help increase muscle mass. Livcon and Assicon syrups are not typically prescribed for weight gain, so it’s best to consult a doctor before starting any new medication. Your health and wellness should be a priority, so eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly to gain weight healthily.

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.

Female | 23
When you don't have enough food, your body may react with headaches. Overconsumption of ice might be a sign of a condition where your body doesn't have enough iron, and you have pimples. To help you get the best nutrition, ensure your meals are balanced, and your diet is well-rounded. If this does not work, a good idea would be to visit a dietitian for advice.

Female | 24
To add fat to your face, it's important to first understand why it might be thin. Some believe that eating healthy food means the face won't lack fat, but that's not always true. Focus on proteins like eggs, lean meats, and beans. You can also try facial exercises like puffing your cheeks or chewing gum to strengthen your muscles and make your face appear fuller. However, it's always a good idea to check with a dietitian before making changes to your diet or exercise routine.

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?

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.
