What natural sweeteners won't spike blood sugar levels?

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?

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.

Avoiding irregular eating habits is important to one's health. Not eating the specific types of foods a person skips or making the process irregular may lead to feeling low energy, drooping, and concentrating inconveniently. Simplifying fast and healthy meals, you could prepare overnight oats with fruits, veggie wraps with hummus, or yogurt with nuts. They are convenient all-encompassing options to have ahead of time and are the best protein shakes for muscle building.

Answered on 17th July '24

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.

What should I eat before & after running for peak performance?

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?

Dr. Babita Goel

Answered on 17th July '24

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.

Can lemon water aid digestion & weight loss?

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?

Dr. Babita Goel

Dr. Babita Goel

Answered on 17th July '24

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.

How Can I Ensure My Picky Eater Son Gets Nutrients?

My 8-year-old son is a very picky eater and refuses to eat vegetables. How can I ensure he's getting all the necessary nutrients?

Dr. Babita Goel

Answered on 17th July '24

Frequently, kids are selective eaters, but they need to satisfy the proper nutrition to grow up healthy and strong. If your son avoids vegetables, you can attempt to mix them with his favorite meals such as smoothies or pasta sauce. The choice of some fruits, grains, and various types of proteins like meat, eggs, and beans as opposed to only one product will be given to kids.

Lack of protein can make you feel low and unenergetic. However, there are many plant-based protein sources you can try. Include legumes, beans, tofu, chickpeas, nuts, and seeds in your daily diet.

Can I eat chicken daily post gynecomastia surgery?

Is there any problem eating chicken daily as boiled as for source of protein after the gynocomastia surgery

Dr. Babita Goel

Dr. Babita Goel

General Physician

Answered on 15th July '24

One can eat chicken daily after getting surgery for gynecomastia with no problems. For example, chicken is high in protein which is useful for the healing process of your body. 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.

Tsh value -27.5 mg and Sugar leval 449 . Need diet plan and foods to regulate.

Dr. Babita Goel

General Physician

Answered on 8th July '24

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.

Chickenpox, a supe­r contagious viral illness, leads to yucky, itchy red spots appe­aring everywhere­. It easily spreads through snee­zes or contact with fluid-filled blisters. Symptoms are­ feeling hot and icky, complete­ exhaustion, and not wanting any food. To ease te­rrible itching, slather on soothing calamine lotion. Drink tons of liquids and nibble­ soft foods since throat soreness make­s swallowing difficult. Rest up and resist scratching those spots to pre­vent ugly scars.

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.
