Rice as altogether is not either bad or good for cholesterol. White rice has high cholesterol and also it is easily digestible, so one tends to overeat. On the other hand, brown rice is whole grain with low glycemic index, has less cholesterol and more fiber which promotes fullness.

I've been experiencing this weird, sharp or cramping pain on the right side of my chest whenever I walk for a while, but it stops immediately after I stop walking. I've already gotten a chest X-ray and a sonography, and both came back normal. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

My brother has diabetes and had a heart check-up in January. His TMT echo and ECG came back negative, and his LVEF is 67. He's been experiencing mild shortness of breath for the past couple of months. Could this be related to any heart issues?

Shortness of breath can have various causes, including heart problems. Given his history of diabetes and recent heart check-up with normal results, the shortness of breath may not be directly related to his heart. It could be due to other factors such as respiratory issues, anemia, or even anxiety. However, considering his medical history, it's important to monitor his condition closely. I would recommend consulting with a doctor to rule out any potential cardiac issues. In the meantime, he can take a low dose of diuretic like Lasix (furosemide) under medical supervision to help with the shortness of breath.
