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?

Answered on 17th July '24
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.

What are the supplements to take for my deficiency? What should I avoid? I am planning to go to the gym, and I would like to know about other protein sources and supplements like multivitamins. I stay in a PG hostel, so I don’t have access to much food and couldn’t manage my diet properly. I have a vitamin D3 deficiency in my blood. What should I do? Please recommend the supplements and overall health plan. How much mg should I take regularly? Please check it.
Male | 22
Take a vitamin D3 addition of 1000-2000 IU daily to rectify your deficiency, but you should not miss a consultation with a healthcare professional for the personalized recommendation. If you can manage a diet of limited food, try to eat more protein sources such as eggs, yogurt, and legumes. Apart from that multivitamins can also help to bridge the nutrition gap. It is suggested to remain active during the day and catch some sun too which would support the increment of vitamin D. Cut down on both caffeine and junk food. Your health expert will, without a doubt, be the right person to turn to if you are feeling tired or have muscle weakness and you are always urged to consult a doctor. You are the main focus in the healthcare system and you are not the only one who needs care.

Male | 13
It's good that you're staying active and trying to maintain a healthy diet. Protein supplements like Protein X can help with muscle mass and strength building, but should not replace a balanced diet. As a growing teenager, it's important to focus on whole foods. Please consult with a pediatrician or a nutritionist to ensure you are meeting your nutritional needs safely.

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.

My son has celiac diseases and adhd,,I want sports nutrition diet for him..are u provide this mam...
Male | 12
Celiac disease can cause problems like stomach aches, exhaustion, and lack of concentration. ADHD can make it difficult for a child to focus. The diet should not only be balanced but it should also be customized to his condition. You can try fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and whole grains. Avoid foods with gluten such as wheat, barley, and rye because they can damage your son's digestive system. Make sure that you consult a dietitian for proper guidance.

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.

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 | 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.

Female | 24
It is safe to take Feroglobin, Wellwoman Original, and multivitamin gummies together. These supplements work together to provide your body with essential nutrients. If you feel tired or weak, it could be due to low iron levels, which Feroglobin can help improve. Wellwoman and multivitamin gummies add basic vitamins and minerals to support your overall health. Follow the recommended dosages, and you'll be fine.

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?
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've been diagnosed with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and find it hard to manage my symptoms. What dietary modifications can help alleviate my discomfort?
Female | 37
IBS patients often experience a sour stomach, leading to symptoms like bloating, cramps, and changes in bowel habits. Certain foods can worsen these symptoms, such as dairy, spicy foods, caffeine, and artificial sweeteners. Eating small meals, drinking enough water, and avoiding trigger foods can help. Fiber-rich foods and probiotics may also be beneficial. Since everyone is different, keep a food diary to track what works best for you.

You are worried that your body is not being built up well and you are thin. It happens because one doesn't eat enough healthy food, gets any rest, or has an illness. One way to improve this is to eat a balanced diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, proteins, and whole grains. In addition, plan adequate time for sleep and find time to engage in physical activities. If the problem still exists, seek medical advice.

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.
