How can I eat healthy working night shifts?
I've recently started working night shifts and find it hard to maintain a healthy eating routine. Can you suggest some meal planning tips and healthy snacks for someone with an irregular schedule?

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.

i am 17 years old and i was found as a pcos person in my 12 years of age and now i am having regular periods from 4 to 5 months but i want to know about the diet plan which i can include in my daily task and exercise as well espicially for hair
Female | 17
In terms of diet for PCOS and hair, try to include a balanced diet made up of a lot of fruits, green vegetables, and whole grains in your meal. Avoid sugar and junk food in your diet. Regular physical activities also assist with PCOS symptoms. On the other hand, for your hair, you should eat a balanced diet with adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals, especially biotin, which is found in nuts and legumes, such as lentils, zinc in chicken and sardines, and iron in red meat and spinach. Remember, drinking enough water is also important.

I recently had my gallbladder removed and have been experiencing digestive issues. What kind of diet should I follow to manage these symptoms?
Male | 37
Even after gallbladder surgery, diarrhea, bloating, or gas is a common problem. This happens because the gallbladder is one of the key players in the digestion of fats and without it, the body struggles with the digestion of fatty foods. Eating a low-fat diet is one way to lessen these symptoms. Try consuming more fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains. Avoid greasy, fried, and spicy foods as they can cause discomfort. Eating small, frequent meals throughout the day can also help. Your body might need some time to get used to the new condition, so have patience and monitor how it reacts to different foods.

You are facing an issue with putting on muscle mass, although you follow a good diet. It is worth mentioning that this could also be a consequence of poor digestion. Having symptoms such as a tendency to have loose stools often could be a sign of digestive problems. Seeing a doctor's advice is a must. Including more easily Digestible foods such as bananas, rice, and toast will be helpful. Besides, taking in enough water can be effective in digestion.

Irritants like such symptoms might result from problems such as stomach issues or dietary habits. Eating small and frequent meals and snacks that are high in nutrients can be a good way to improve your appetite. Keep in mind to drink enough water and try to figure out any foods that might be causing your digestive problems. If these adjustments don't work, think about talking to a dietitian for more tests and advice.

My 5-year-old son is underweight for his age. What are some high-calorie, nutritious foods I can offer to help him gain weight in a healthy manner?
Male | 32
Sometimes, being too thin is also a result of not eating enough or having a quick metabolism. Some of the symptoms may be exhaustion or frequent illnesses. To promote healthy weight gain in your son, give him meals with nuts, seeds, nut butter, avocado, full-fat dairy, lean meats, and whole grains. These provide extra calories and nutrients for his growing body. Be aware that it is always a good idea to seek advice from a nutritionist or doctor before starting any program that will help you provide your children with what they need.

Patale ha kuch weight gain karna ha
Female | 21
This mental state of wanting to gain weight is normal a phenomenon and there may be different reasons. Sometimes, low appetite or digestive issues may cause weight loss that may not be an eating disorder. Having an illness or stress can also make you lose weight. In this case, you should consult a dietitian for a proper diet plan, do exercises, and get enough sleep. The moment the body is well-fed, the weight gain process will begin.

Which syrup can i give to my baby boy of one year and 4months old to gain weight faster.the safest syrup and what dose can i give him.
Male | 1year and 4months
Getting a baby to gain weight is not always safe. However, if you decide to use a baby food syrup, remember that one specifically designed for infants is always safer. The one choice is the multivitamin syrup that pediatricians tend to recommend. It is the one that will be able to help him grow healthy. Be sure to give the treatment at the amount suggested by the label. Be careful because the weight may increase too fast and be unhealthy.

I am a 12 year old boy, how long can I take magnesium effervescent tablets?
Slecht | 12
Magnesium effervescent tablets are healthy, but make sure you don't take them longer than prescribed without consulting a doctor first. Overusing them might give you time to get sicker. Proper magnesium intake aids in the normal functioning of the body, but it is wiser to seek advice from an elder if you plan to use them for a long time.

I'm 21 year old & I have 76 kg weight . I want to burn all the fat of body.is water fast is good idea ? & Give your suggestions & tips for diet.
Male | 21
Wanting to improve health by reducing fat is great. Water fasting, where only water is consumed and food is avoided, can be unsafe, particularly for extended periods. This could lead to exhaustion, dizziness, and other health concerns. A balanced approach with fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins is wiser. Regular exercise like walking or swimming also helps. This enables healthy fat loss.

I've read a lot about intermittent fasting. Is it a safe and effective method for weight loss, and what are some potential risks I should be aware of?
Female | 23
It is a pattern of consumption that is intermittent fasting where you abstain from eating for a certain number of hours and then eat for the rest of the day. Nonetheless, some find it useful, while others disregard it. But the fact is that not every individual can be a candidate for such a diet plan. Being moody, sleepy, or lightheaded are some potential risks. Consult a dietician before you decide to start.

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.
