Could My Dizziness and Fatigue be a Deficiency? Key Foods.
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?

Answered on 22nd July '24
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.

Chiken pox treatment and diet
Male | 25
Chickenpox, a super contagious viral illness, leads to yucky, itchy red spots appearing everywhere. It easily spreads through sneezes or contact with fluid-filled blisters. Symptoms are feeling hot and icky, complete exhaustion, and not wanting any food. To ease terrible itching, slather on soothing calamine lotion. Drink tons of liquids and nibble soft foods since throat soreness makes swallowing difficult. Rest up and resist scratching those spots to prevent ugly scars.

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.

Female | 31
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.

I've been trying to cut down on sugar, but I'm not sure what to use as a substitute. Are there any natural sweeteners that you recommend which won't spike my blood sugar levels?
Male | 29
It is good that you have decided to limit your sugar intake! Stevia, a natural sweetener that you can use, is one such option here. It is made from a plant and does not make your blood sugar levels to rise. You can also go for monk fruit sweetener, another good alternative. Try to control the sweetening and not overload your diet with sweet foods. Synthetic sweeteners are not a good choice, because they can cause harm to your health.

I'm feeling dizzy after eat
Male | 22
Dizziness after eating is a condition that can be caused by various factors. Sometimes it happens that your blood sugar levels fluctuate too fast right after you eat. In some cases, though, this might be low blood pressure. Besides rapid eating, some foods can cause dizziness. Try eating slowly, skipping meals if you can, and drinking enough water. If this is the case, you should see a doctor.

i’m 16 years old, and trying to lose weight. however, for some reason i keep feeling extra hungry even after i’ve eaten. my family cook good balanced meals so i don’t think it’s because of my nutritional intake. i’ve been struggling with this for a long time. it also causes me to get really tired. if i fulfill my needs to eat, i end up overeating and eventually feel sick. what is wrong with me and how can i treat it?

These might be the preceding dysfunctions of blood sugar level change or the probable hormone irregularities. To aid you, strive to eat smaller, more frequent meals which would keep you steady. Adapted approaches to a higher protein and fiber intake might help you feel satisfied for longer. You can also consult a dietician proper treatment plan.

I have a bmi of 52.0, I am 17, is it safe for me to go on a 800-900 calorie a day diet if I take a multivitamin and the proper vitamin supplements? If so, for how long would it be safe?
Female | 17
Your BMI at the age of 52.0 is very high for you. Only 800-900 calories of food a day can be dangerous and can cause serious health problems like fatigue, nutrient deficiencies, and muscle loss. It is not safe to even keep your calories so low. On the contrary, concentrate on developing good habits such as consuming balanced meals and exercising regularly. If you are thinking of bringing changes to your diet, it is good to consult a doctor or dietitian to create a safe and effective plan for weight loss.

I am 22 years old with a body weight of 48 kg would like to gain extra weight what can I do. Which tablet can I take? My friend told me to take vitamin B12 what's your take on that and which one can I take for weight gain?
Female | 22
B12 vitamin acts mainly as an energizer and metabolism booster it is not a weight gain medicine. Gaining weight requires eating more calories mainly from healthy fats and proteins. Fruits like avocados and nuts along with lean meats are preferable. Consult a dietitian for an individualized plan for healthy weight gain.
