Could my diet be causing my daytime sluggishness?
I often feel tired and sluggish during the day. Could my diet be the reason for this, and what foods can help boost my energy levels?

Feeling exhausted and reluctant to do anything can be draining. The foods we eat can help us feel more energetic throughout the day. Consuming too much sugary or processed food can leave you feeling low on energy. However, the opposite happens if you eat the right kinds of food. Foods that boost your energy include fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and proteins.

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.

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.

I lose weight and face muscles while jogging regularly
Male | 57
Weight loss impacts the face if the diet lacks nutrients. Rigorous exercise burns calories. Insufficient intake causes fatigue, weakness, altered appearance. Balance matters! Fuel properly with hearty portions, and protein for muscle support. Consult a dietitian to strategize an ideal fitness diet plan.

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?

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.

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.
