Female | 23
Aapka sawaal samajhne ke liye shukriya. Zinc, Omega-3, aur Biotin, jo aapke mentioned foods se milte hain, aapki skin aur baalon ki sehat ke liye faydemand hain. Yeh nutrients aapki body ko support karte hain, lekin kisi hormonal imbalance ke liye sirf diet se istemal karna kafi nahi ho sakta. Aap in foods ko apne diet mein shamil karke dekh sakti hain, lekin iska asar dikhne mein kuch mahine lag sakte hain, aam tor par 3-6 maine. Agar samasya barqarar rahe, to kisi health professional se salah lena behtar hoga.

Face ko mota karne ke liye kuchh syrup.ya medicine
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.

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?
Female | 27
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 want a diet plan for 5000calories a day
Male | 28
Eat 5000 calories every single day, problems may arise. High-calorie intake leads to issues: weight gain, blood pressure spikes, diabetes risk increases, heart troubles develop. Consume nutritious foods instead - fruits, and vegetables provide vitamins, lean proteins build muscle, and whole grains give fiber. Avoid sugary drinks filled with empty calories. Also, unhealthy fats are detrimental.

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.

The effects of some slimming teas can be strong for our bodies. These teas mainly get rid of our weight by causing us to be less bathroom-bound. Therefore, dehydration, diarrhea, and stomach pain as well as heart issues may occur. It's essential to be cautious with such teas, especially at your age. You should rather go for healthy eating and exercise as a means of weight management.

Can I take midol and DayQuil and NyQuil all in one day if I space it out?
Female | 19
For period pain relief, Midol can be taken during menstrual discomfort, and DayQuil and NyQuil help to combat the period. Inadequate sleep, the symptoms of cold and flu such as coughing and congestion are with tea to relieve by DayQuil and NyQuil. They may be taken at different times in general and they are tolerated in the body. At the same time, however, you should pay special attention to the total dose you take because of acetaminophen, which is found in both DayQuil and NyQuil. I propose that you stay away from gluttony and remain alert to your physical state. In case you would like to receive personalized healthcare advice, the most suitable option is to have a conversation with a medical specialist who can offer a customized opinion corresponding to your situation.

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.
