Question 1

Im new to Mumbai and have been eating idli vada almost every day. Im curious about the caloric value of it and whether its actually nutritious. Could you tell me if its a healthy option or if I should mix in something else?

Accepted Answer

A typical serving of idli (2-3 pieces) and vada (1-2 pieces) contains approximately 250-400 calories, with a breakdown of 50-60g carbohydrates, 10-15g protein, and 10-15g fat; idli vada can be a nutritious option due to the presence of fermented rice and lentils, which provide probiotics, fiber, and essential amino acids, but be mindful of the oil used for frying vada and consider pairing with vegetables or sambar for added nutrition.

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 4

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 5

I was diagnosed with a 4.5mm kidney stone in my left kidney. Can you suggest a diet plan to help prevent future stone formation? I already drink around 3 liters of water a day.

Accepted Answer

-Keep drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated and prevent stone formation. Adjust your diet by reducing oxalate-rich foods and limiting salt and animal protein. Regular follow-ups with your doctor will ensure you're on the right track.

Question 6

Im a 23-year-old male, 59.5 tall, and Im wondering if theres any way to increase my height at this age. Is it still possible, or am I past the age where growth can happen?

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.
