What supplements and protein sources are best for vitamin D3 deficiency?

What are the supplements to take for my deficiency? What should I avoid? I am planning to go to the gym, and I would like to know about other protein sources and supplements like multivitamins. I stay in a PG hostel, so I don’t have access to much food and couldn’t manage my diet properly. I have a vitamin D3 deficiency in my blood. What should I do? Please recommend the supplements and overall health plan. How much mg should I take regularly? Please check it.

Answered on 2nd Jan '25

Take a vitamin D3 addition of 1000-2000 IU daily to rectify your deficiency, but you should not miss a consultation with a healthcare professional for the personalized recommendation. If you can manage a diet of limited food, try to eat more protein sources such as eggs, yogurt, and legumes. Apart from that multivitamins can also help to bridge the nutrition gap. It is suggested to remain active during the day and catch some sun too which would support the increment of vitamin D. Cut down on both caffeine and junk food. Your health expert will, without a doubt, be the right person to turn to if you are feeling tired or have muscle weakness and you are always urged to consult a doctor. You are the main focus in the healthcare system and you are not the only one who needs care.

My toddler has severe food allergies. How can I ensure he gets a balanced diet while avoiding allergens, and what are some safe, nutritious alternatives?

Female | 33

A diet that is complete and free from allergens is essential. Milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish are the most commonly found allergens. It is important to search for other alternatives that are safe and nutritious, such as fruit, vegetables, rice, quinoa, beans, and meats. A dietitian can support you in developing a customized meal plan to make sure your child gets all the necessary nutrients. It is also necessary to monitor the symptoms of rashes, stomachache, vomiting, and shortness of breath that might appear after consuming food. If you recognize any of these symptoms, the advice is to stop feeding them that food and to contact an allergist for further testing and evaluation.

However, it is to be eaten only after it has been boiled to keep the chicken healthy. The occurrence of any swelling or pain in the chest indicates a problem. If so, let your doctor know as soon as possible so that they can assist you.

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.

Male | 27

It's a good idea to use plant-based protein supplements, especially if you are trying to improve your diet or participate in fitness activities. For the most part, they can be safely integrated into the diet by trying them for some weeks or even for a couple of months. If you experience abdominal pain or bloating while consuming plant-based proteins, it is best to either decrease the amounts you are taking or change the protein sources.

It is not uncommon to gain some weight during menopause due to hormonal changes. To promote weight loss and lessen your symptoms, introduce a balanced diet. Incorporate as many fruits, greens, whole grains, and lean proteins as possible into your diet. And don't forget to refrain from drinking sugary drinks and eating foods high in saturated fats. In addition, water helps keep your body hydrated and exercise is a normal part of every day. This, in turn, can also contribute to keeping a healthy weight and stopping menopause symptoms.

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 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 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 was drinking a hot coffee but accidentally bird poop dropped into the coffee and i didn’t’ Recognise and take 2 - 3 sips. Please suggest

Male | 28

Consuming a relatively foreign item by accident can be a cause of concern, but it is important to stay calm. The symptoms to look out for include nausea, digestive problems, and fever, which could be a sign of any infection. The mere presence of bird droppings may potentially harbor pathogenic organisms, but it normally takes a heavy exposure to cause illness. Be sure to drink enough water and observe your health condition. If you experience any unexpected symptoms or are not feeling well, please get in touch with a doctor. Such professionals are capable of giving you the right pieces of advice based on your situation. Do not forget, in the first place, your health is the main thing.

I've heard a lot about the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. What are some good dietary sources of omega-3s, and how much should I be consuming daily?

Female | 28

Dietary food sources of omega 3 fatty acids are : Flaxseeds, chia seeds, egg yolks, salmon (Indian rawas) , mackerel (Bangda). But as a therapeutic diet expert, I would always recommend taking omega 3 fish oil supplement. Daily requirement is 1g which means you will have to take 3 capsules to get your requirement fulfilled. For people who have lot of inflammation, diabetes, arthritis, thyroid or any infection in the body, the requirement can increase upto 2000 (6 capsules) to 3000 mg (9 capsules) of omega 3 to reach 50% of the optimal range. My everytime and best brand : Nutrilite Salmon Omega 3 capsules. ✅
