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.

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.

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.

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.

How much sucralose % used in plant protein powder by companies? And it is safe or not.
Male | 27
Sucralose is frequently added to plant-based protein powders in the form of small amounts in order to make it taste sweeter and not cause any extra calories. Previously conducted research has shown that sucralose can be a safe option for most people if its use is not abused. On the contrary, there are few people who might undergo digestive discomforts such as bloating, and gas when sucralose is consumed. In case you notice any weird symptoms after taking in such products, the wisest move is to lower the dose and to see a doctor.

Can i have Limcee 500mg VitC tablet everyday? I am not into any medication
Female | 19
Taking Limcee 500mg of VitC every day is perfectly okay. Your body's immune system is more powerful against infections thanks to the vitamin C, and your skin remains in good condition. Vitamin C deficiency may result in you feeling fatigued and frequently getting ill. A daily dose of one tablet would be really good for you. But it is also good to eat fruits and vegetables that are high in vitamin C as well.

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?
Female | 36
Frequently, kids are selective eaters, but they need to satisfy the proper nutrition to grow up healthy and strong. If your son avoids vegetables, you can attempt to mix them with his favorite meals such as smoothies or pasta sauce. The choice of some fruits, grains, and various types of proteins like meat, eggs, and beans as opposed to only one product will be given to kids.

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.

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.

my father is 44 years old and is a smoker. He takes Tamsulosin, Seroxat, and Ascard, and he has recently started taking Respi Care. I’m looking for advice on multivitamins or supplements that could support his health, especially considering his smoking habits. I’ve heard about Swiss Men’s Multivitamins and would like to know if they would be suitable for him. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
Male | 45
Given his smoking habit, a good multivitamin can help fill nutritional gaps. Swiss Men’s Multivitamins may be suitable, as they often include antioxidants and essential vitamins to support overall well-being. However, it's crucial to ensure that any supplements don't interact with his current medications. Please encourage him to speak with his healthcare provider before adding any new vitamins or supplements. This will help tailor advice specifically to his health needs and ensure safety. Supporting a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular check-ups, is also beneficial.
