Answered on 9th Sept '24

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.

I heard that drinking lemon water in the morning can help with digestion and weight loss. Is there any truth to this, and are there any other simple dietary changes that can have a big impact on my health?

Male | 25

Lemon water is a good source of Vitamin C due to its citric acid content. This vitamin helps the body absorb iron more easily. Drinking lemon water can aid in weight loss by promoting hydration and reducing calorie intake. To shed extra pounds, try eating more fruits and vegetables, cutting back on sweetened beverages, and replacing refined grains with whole grains. These changes can improve your health, aid digestion, and help maintain a healthy weight.

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.

My mother is suffering with diabetes. She has been said to limit rice consumption. We're eating white rice in home. However,as we have heard from youtube that brown rice is good for diabetes now we switched to this.Will it make consequences in the future if over consumed?

Female | 50

Brown rice is surely a better option for diabetes than white rice which consists of more fiber and nutrients than brown rice. However, regardless of the kind of rice consumed, overconsumption can result in high blood sugar levels. Be careful to balance the number of portion sizes with other healthy foods like vegetables and lean proteins. If your mother goes through health conditions like drinking more water than usual, using the restroom frequently, or being tired all the time, it is necessary to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis.
