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.

I am 19 years old . I am completely fine I have no diseases but I am unable to gain weight from last 4/ 5 years . At first I have proper weight but now I am only 38 kg , I feel very under confident due to less weight . What can I do for weight gain and also I want to ask can I use livcon and assicon syrup as many people recommended this .

Female | 19

Being underweight can be due to factors like metabolism, insufficient calorie intake, or certain health conditions. To gain weight, focus on a diet that includes adequate protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates. Include fruits, vegetables, and protein sources like chicken, fish, or beans. Additionally, doing strength training exercises can help increase muscle mass. Livcon and Assicon syrups are not typically prescribed for weight gain, so it’s best to consult a doctor before starting any new medication. Your health and wellness should be a priority, so eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly to gain weight healthily.

TruFruti shake typically contains various fruits, which are generally safe and nutritious. However, if you experience any discomfort like stomach upset, nausea, or allergic reactions, it may be due to individual sensitivities or an ingredient intolerance. It's important to stay hydrated and observe how you feel over the next few hours. In case of persistent symptoms or if you feel unwell, please reach out to a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

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.

Can we take plant protein and probiotics capsules together?

Male | 27

It is safe to take the two simultaneously - the plant protein and the probiotics capsules. Plant protein assists in the muscle-building process while probiotics ensure proper gut health. The only rare case with this combination might be slight abdominal discomfort. If you are bloated or gassy, then it would be good if you could try taking them at different times. Also, drink a lot of water with both.

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. ✅

Therefore, dehydration, diarrhea, and stomach pain as well as heart issues may occur. It's essential to be cautious with such teas, especially at your age.

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.
