Lipolysis, also known as Lipo, can be useful for spot fat reduction and weight loss, particularly when combined with a healthy diet and exercise. Common side effects include temporary bruising, swelling, and numbness. Treatment duration varies depending on the individual and the area being treated, but typically ranges from 2-6 sessions, spaced 2-4 weeks apart.

Question 3

Hi doctor.. I am 21 yrs old... How can I increase my growth after crossing 20 yrs...now i am of 5'2... I jst wanna increase by at least 3 inches more... Can u suggest me any tips..?? By exercising or by skipping regularly increases my growth???

Accepted Answer

At 21, your growth plates are likely closed, so gaining height naturally is challenging. However, regular exercises like stretching, swimming, and skipping can improve posture and strengthen your muscles, potentially making you appear taller. A balanced diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein also supports overall health.

Question 4

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 f...

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 5

Ive had my mitral valve replaced with a mechanical valve, and now Im on blood thinners (Acitron) for life. Can you please advise which foods I should avoid while on this medication?

Accepted Answer

As your doctor, Id advise you to avoid foods high in vitamin K, like spinach, kale, and broccoli, as they can interfere with Acitrons effectiveness. Limit alcohol, grapefruit, and cranberry products, and always maintain a consistent diet to avoid fluctuations in your INR levels.
