Question 1

My wife has been diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency. Is there any homeopathy medicine that can help? How long should she take it to improve her levels?

Accepted Answer

Well the best thing of vitamin d would be to sit out in the sun for atleast 20 minutea daily...you can as well take calcitriol sachets once a week for 6 weeks

Question 2

Im overweight by about 15 kg and I really want to lose that extra weight. Can you suggest a diet plan that will help me shed these kilos?

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.

Question 3

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.

Question 4

Hi doctor, Im trying to lose weight but not sure where to start. Can you suggest some tips or methods that would work best for effective weight loss?

Accepted Answer

To reduce weight, focus on sustainable lifestyle changes: eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein, drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily, incorporate physical activity like brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming for at least 150 minutes weekly, get 7-8 hours of sleep nightly, and manage stress through meditation or yoga, aiming for a gradual weight loss of 0.5-1 kg per week.

Question 5

I'm a male, 23 yrs. Height 5 ft 9.5 inches.
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.
