What diet plan is best for PCOD, gallstones, weight, high cholesterol?

I have PCOD problem, I have gallstone problem. I have excess weight. I have high cholesterol. What should be diet plan for me

Answered on 8th July '24

First, PCOD, which causes irregular periods, acne­, and weight gain. Eating a balanced diet with lots of fruits, ve­ggies, whole grains, and lean prote­ins can help manage it. Next up, gallstone­s. These can cause abdominal pain afte­r fatty foods. Limiting greasy, fatty foods in your diet is advisable. Exce­ss weight puts strain on your body, worsening PCOD and gallstones. Eating smalle­r portions and staying active aids weight loss. High choleste­rol can lead to heart problems too. Re­ducing saturated fats from butter, red me­at, fried foods helps lower chole­sterol. Instead, opt for healthie­r fats like nuts, seeds, olive­ oil. Making these dietary change­s positively impacts your health.

Tsh value -27.5 mg and Sugar leval 449 . Need diet plan and foods to regulate.

Female | 55

Your TSH leve­l is high at 27.5 mg. Sugar level's also ele­vated - 449. These numbe­rs suggest thyroid issues might exist. Uncontrolle­d blood sugar too. High TSH causes fatigue, and weight gain. Ele­vated sugars lead to exce­ssive thirst and frequent urination. Die­t changes can help regulate­ both conditions. Focus on veggies, fruits, and whole grains. Limit sugary foods and drinks. Wate­r, herbal teas are be­tter options. Regular physical activity aids manageme­nt too.

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.

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.

I'm recovering from surgery and want to support my healing process with proper nutrition. What foods should I focus on to aid in recovery?

Male | 36

For your body to heal faster, you should eat more protein, such as chicken, fish, eggs, and beans. Protein is what helps to build and repair the tissues in your body. Eating vegetables and fruits will provide you with the necessary vitamins and minerals that help you get better. Moreover, drink enough water to avoid dehydration. These are the food sources that will provide your body the nutrients it needs to heal and recover.

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'm a vegetarian and recently started feeling dizzy and fatigued. Could this be due to a deficiency, and what foods should I focus on to prevent this?

Male | 26

Feeling dizzy and tired as a vegetarian might be due to a lack of minerals like iron, protein, or vitamin B12. Signs include fatigue, pale skin, and trouble concentrating. Add more beans, lentils, leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and fortified cereals to your diet. These foods help provide the iron, B12, and protein you need to stay healthy.

I am underweight and have low iron i wanna improve it as due to it i frequently get sick easily like 2 or 3 in month I did reports for iron and hemoglobin Iron level is 74.4 and hemoglobin is 10.7 ( it droped it was nearly 14 ) And for my weight I am 38.60 and height is 5'2 feet

Female | 16

It's important to address your low weight and iron levels, as they can lead to symptoms like fatigue and frequent illnesses. Low iron often results from inadequate dietary intake or absorption issues. To improve your situation, focus on incorporating iron-rich foods such as leafy greens, legumes, lean meats, and fortified cereals into your meals. Pair these with vitamin C sources like citrus fruits to enhance absorption. Additionally, consider small, nutritious snacks to help increase your weight healthily. I recommend consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice and potential supplementation to ensure a safe and effective approach.

I often suffer from cold and cough. What vitamins should I take to strengthen my immunity system?

Female | 29

Cold and cough are caused by viruses and having a weaker immune system makes it more likely that they will catch you. To increase your immunity you can consume vitamins such as Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc. These vitamins can assist your body in building resistance to viruses.

Can we take plant protein and probiotics capsules together?

Male | 27

It is safe to take the two simultaneously - the plant protein and the probiotics capsules. Plant protein assists in the muscle-building process while probiotics ensure proper gut health. The only rare case with this combination might be slight abdominal discomfort. If you are bloated or gassy, then it would be good if you could try taking them at different times. Also, drink a lot of water with both.

Hi good day . I would like to ask if aspartame is safe?

Female | 25

Aspartame is a sweetener that is usually considered risk-free for most people as long as it is taken in moderate amounts. A few people may react to aspartame and have symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or digestive issues, but these occurrences are rare. If you experience any abnormal symptoms after eating products with aspartame, reduce your intake or switch to alternatives.

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.

Hi, I'm a 50-year-old female going through menopause and have gained weight. What dietary changes can I make to manage my weight and alleviate menopause symptoms?

Female | 50

It is not uncommon to gain some weight during menopause due to hormonal changes. To promote weight loss and lessen your symptoms, introduce a balanced diet. Incorporate as many fruits, greens, whole grains, and lean proteins as possible into your diet. And don't forget to refrain from drinking sugary drinks and eating foods high in saturated fats. In addition, water helps keep your body hydrated and exercise is a normal part of every day. This, in turn, can also contribute to keeping a healthy weight and stopping menopause symptoms.

My toddler has severe food allergies. How can I ensure he gets a balanced diet while avoiding allergens, and what are some safe, nutritious alternatives?

Female | 33

A diet that is complete and free from allergens is essential. Milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish are the most commonly found allergens. It is important to search for other alternatives that are safe and nutritious, such as fruit, vegetables, rice, quinoa, beans, and meats. A dietitian can support you in developing a customized meal plan to make sure your child gets all the necessary nutrients. It is also necessary to monitor the symptoms of rashes, stomachache, vomiting, and shortness of breath that might appear after consuming food. If you recognize any of these symptoms, the advice is to stop feeding them that food and to contact an allergist for further testing and evaluation.

Male | 55

Kidney stones are very sharp and inflict on the back and belly, causing nausea and even containing bloody pee. You should drink plenty of water, reduce the intake of salty and sugary foods, and incorporate a good amount of fruits and vegetables into your diet to avoid the formation of kidney stones. Avoid consuming foods which are rich in oxalates, for example, spinach and nuts as they might lead to complications with your stones.
