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?
Male | 26
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 need gestational diebetic diet plan...
Female | 31
Gestational diabetes occurs when your body struggles to process sugar during pregnancy. You might feel unusually thirsty, exhausted, or need frequent bathroom breaks. These signs happen because your cells can't use sugar efficiently. Eating nutritious foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins helps regulate blood glucose levels. Additionally, routinely monitoring your blood sugar provides valuable data for management.

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.

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.

My 16-year-old daughter wants to go on a diet to lose weight, but I'm concerned about her doing it healthily. What advice can I give her to ensure she's making safe and balanced choices?
Female | 38
I understand your concern about your daughter wanting to be on a diet to lose weight. She needs to be healthy while doing this. Skipping meals or eating very little can lead to feeling tired, dizzy, or weak. Instead of that, suggest to her to eat balanced meals with the help of eating lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins. Also, she has to be active, so a dietician or her doctor can help her to make a plan that's right for her

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.

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.

I want a diet plan for 5000calories a day
Male | 28
Eat 5000 calories every single day, problems may arise. High-calorie intake leads to issues: weight gain, blood pressure spikes, diabetes risk increases, heart troubles develop. Consume nutritious foods instead - fruits, and vegetables provide vitamins, lean proteins build muscle, and whole grains give fiber. Avoid sugary drinks filled with empty calories. Also, unhealthy fats are detrimental.

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.

It's important to know the cause of you being underweight. It may be a result of you not eating enough or a medical problem. A doctor can assist you in determining the reason.

Weight loss impacts the face if the diet lacks nutrients. Rigorous exercise burns calories. Insufficient intake causes fatigue, weakness, altered appearance. Balance matters!

Hi, I've been experiencing frequent headaches and someone suggested it might be related to my diet. Are there certain foods that could be triggering my headaches?
Female | 27
There is no doubt that the food can be the trigger of headaches. Some usual suspects are processed meats, aged cheeses, beer, and foods with monosodium glutamate (MSG). These substances may have adverse effects on the blood vessels in the brain, which eventually lead to headaches. If you start to experience a headache you can add it to the diary. Once you identify a particular food item, you might want to eliminate it from your diet to see if the headaches get better.

Tsh value -27.5 mg and Sugar leval 449 . Need diet plan and foods to regulate.
Female | 55
Your TSH level is high at 27.5 mg. Sugar level's also elevated - 449. These numbers suggest thyroid issues might exist. Uncontrolled blood sugar too. High TSH causes fatigue, and weight gain. Elevated sugars lead to excessive thirst and frequent urination. Diet changes can help regulate both conditions. Focus on veggies, fruits, and whole grains. Limit sugary foods and drinks. Water, herbal teas are better options. Regular physical activity aids management too.
