Salmon is a great option as it is full of Omega-3 fatty acids that are good for heart health. It is best to discuss with her doctor the safest and most effective diet plan to take care of her health.

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.

Hi good day . I would like to ask if aspartame is safe?
Female | 25
Aspartame is a sweetener that is usually considered risk-free for most people as long as it is taken in moderate amounts. A few people may react to aspartame and have symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or digestive issues, but these occurrences are rare. If you experience any abnormal symptoms after eating products with aspartame, reduce your intake or switch to alternatives.

I'm training for a marathon and want to make sure my diet supports my training. What should I be eating before and after my runs to maximize performance and recovery?
Male | 29
Consume food containing carbohydrates and protein two-three hours before the run to be full of energy. The protein shake makes sure your muscles grow and get rid of fat every weekend. If you keep your body hydrated throughout the day, it might prevent dehydration and tiredness. A wide array of fruits, vegetables, proteins, and whole grains can be included in a diet to help improve the performance of your workouts.

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 70-year-old mother has osteoporosis. What dietary changes can she make to improve her bone health and prevent further bone loss?
Female | 70
To help your mom's osteoporosis, eat foods with calcium and Vitamin D, such as milk products, leafy vegetables, and fish. The consumption of such nutrients strengthens bones. Steer clear of caffeinated drinks and alcoholic drinks, as they will harm your bones. Consistent exercise, for example, walking and lifting light weights, can keep a good level of bone health. A healthy diet and sufficient activity are not possible without which our bones will be much weaker.

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.

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.

I have PCOD problem, I have gallstone problem. I have excess weight. I have high cholesterol. What should be diet plan for me
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. Instead, opt for healthier fats like nuts, seeds, olive oil. Making these dietary changes positively impacts your health.
