However, it is important to remember that supplements alone will not lead to significant muscle gain. Consistency in your workouts, proper nutrition, and sufficient rest are also crucial factors in building muscle mass. I recommend discussing with your Gym Instructor about the appropriate dosage of Endura Mass based on your individual needs and fitness goals. Additionally, focusing on a well-rounded fitness routine that includes strength training and a balanced diet will also contribute to your muscle-building efforts.

Question 46

Hi, Ive been struggling to gain weight and Im not sure what to do. Ive tried eating more but it doesnt seem to make much of a difference. Do you think weight gain powders or tablets could help? Im not sure if theyre safe or effective. Could you suggest some ways I can gain weight in a healthy way or if any specific supplements would be helpful?

Accepted Answer

To gain weight effectively, you can consider taking weight gainer supplements. One popular option is "Ensure Plus" which is a high-calorie nutritional supplement drink. Additionally, you can also try "Apetamin Syrup" which is known to stimulate appetite and promote weight gain. The recommended dosage is 5ml (1 teaspoon) three times a day before meals. Remember to combine these supplements with a balanced diet and regular exercise for optimal results.

Question 47

Can constipation cause a fever? I've been dealing with constipation for a few days now, and recently I've also started feeling feverish. Im not sure if theyre related, but I wanted to check if its possible for constipation to trigger a fever. Should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Constipation itself does not typically cause fever. However, if constipation is severe and leads to complications such as a bowel obstruction or infection, then fever may occur as a result. It is important to address the underlying cause of constipation to prevent any potential complications.

Question 48

Ive been diagnosed with grade 2 fatty liver NASH, and Im really concerned about what changes I need to make to my diet. I eat a lot of rice, so Im wondering what type of rice would be best for me to eat, and if there are any specific foods I should focus on or avoid. Any advice on managing this through diet would be really helpful.

Accepted Answer

For grade 2 fatty liver NASH, it is important to follow a healthy diet to manage the condition. You should focus on consuming a diet that is low in saturated fats, refined sugars, and processed foods. Instead, opt for a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. In terms of rice, it is recommended to choose whole grains such as brown rice or wild rice over white rice. Brown rice is a good option as it is high in fiber and nutrients, which can be beneficial for your liver health. You can include brown rice in your diet in moderation and pair it with lean proteins and plenty of vegetables for a well-balanced meal. Additionally, it is important to monitor your portion sizes and avoid overeating, even if it is a healthier option like brown rice. Regular exercise and staying hydrated are also important factors in managing fatty liver NASH.

Question 49

Hi doctor, I'm 21 years old and currently 5'2". I really want to increase my height by at least 3 inches. Is there anything I can do to grow taller now that I've passed 20? Will exercises or skipping regularly help with my height? Can you suggest any tips to help me with this?

Accepted Answer

To increase your height after the age of 20, when the growth plates have closed, is challenging. However, you can still focus on improving your posture and overall health. Regular exercise, especially stretching exercises like yoga or Pilates, can help improve your posture and make you appear taller. Additionally, maintaining a balanced diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein is important for bone health. Adequate sleep is also crucial for overall growth and development. Unfortunately, there are no medications or supplements that can significantly increase your height at your age.

Question 52

I am a 17 year old boy and my height is 5'6". My height has not increased considerably over the last two years. I want to increase it. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

To increase your height at 17 years old, it's important to focus on proper nutrition and exercise. Make sure you are getting enough calcium and vitamin D for bone health. Additionally, engaging in regular physical activity, especially exercises that focus on stretching and lengthening the spine, can be beneficial. You can also consider taking a multivitamin supplement to ensure you are getting all the necessary nutrients for growth. However, it's important to remember that genetics play a significant role in determining height, so it's not guaranteed that you will grow taller.

Question 53

This is a homeopathic medicine which claims to be helpful in cases of underdeveloped mammary glands. There is insufficient information or study conducted upon this drug. It is preferable to not use any medication without a proper doctor's advice or recommendation.

Question 54

I want to increase my height. Is it possible to increase height?

Kindly Suggest.

Thanks.

Accepted Answer

Growth plates in the bones of the human body close by the age of 18-21 years (for males). After these growth plates close, it is generally not possible to increase height through natural methods or medical intervention like growth hormone therapy. You may try to improve posture or focus on stretching and yoga in order to increase your perceived height.

Question 55

I am overweight by 15 kg and i want to reduce 15 kg weight i want to know the deit i should follow to reduce weight

Accepted Answer

Avoid processed foods and prefer whole wheats. Restrict sugar intake and fried foods to a minimum. Use an app or counter to measure your daily calorie intake and try to maintain a calorie deficit for each day. Find a sport which you enjoy, such as badminton or yoga, and engage in physical activity for at least 150 minutes every week. Consult a dietician to work out a sustainable diet plan.
