I'm 42 yrs, 5.3 height, 65 kgs overweight. I have many health issues & consult with many docs. I have pcos, IBS, Vertigo, Breathing problems, fatty liver, low level energy, & lately diagnose with spinal problems. I can't sit for long, walk long distance, or do heavy works, in short, I can't be active. Which is why my fats increases & cholesterol & fatty liver adds to it. Since I cannot indulge in active workouts, please tell me what I should do to reduce my fats & weights. I don't eat junk foods, oily foods, eat meals moderately twice a day, don't eat much meat but more veg. I need help.

Ans: These are some basic guidelines that u can follow -
- Regular meal timings
- Have minimum 2-3 meals in a day
- Protein with every meal
- Replace refined oil with cold pressed oil
- Incase of IBS understand which food triggers it, and eliminate that food item
- Avoid packaged and processed foods
- Manage ur stress levels well, because gut issues have a lot to do with the stress levels
- Quality sleep of 7-8hrs
- Start with some basic physiotherapy and learn some exercise from physiotherapist, that will help u in losing weight

Please consult a nutritionist and get a proper meal plan customised, it will surely help you!

Health

I m 56 yrs old having high BP and sugar,taking medicine since long. My weight 120 kg,I was regular gym goer but due to ankle and knee pain,I could not do aerobics as well as weight training,My calorie intake is around 2000kcl per day,my height is 180 cm. zhow can i reduce the exess weight.pl suggest

Ans: Hi. I'm sorry to hear about your condition. It's important to understand that weight loss involves a two-pronged approach: reducing calorie intake and burning calories. Given that your ankle and knee pain prevent you from doing weight training, I recommend visiting a physiotherapist for an assessment. They can provide therapeutic management for your pain, enabling you to engage in aerobic and weight training exercises to some extent. Wishing you quick recovery

I AM 46 YRS OLD, 5.4 FEET TALL AND MY WEIGHT IS 82 KGS, MY BP IS ALWAYS BETWEEN 120 TO 135 / 90 TO 105, MY SUGAR IS MORNING BEFORE BREAKFAST IS AROUND 210 AND AFTER BREAKFAST IS AROUND 170, I DO NOT GET TIME TO EXERCISE, I AM IN ROTATION SHIFT, I HAVE 2 MEALS A DAY AND MY SLEEP PATERN VARIES ACCORDING TO MY SHIFT GET 5 HRS SLEEP AND I TRAVEL BY TWO WHEELERFOR 4 HRS. PLS SUGGEST HOW TO BRING DOWN MY WEIGHT, BP AND SUGARS. ANY DIET PLAN, I AM AN NON-VEGETARIAN.

Ans: What you are telling me and asking me appears like a joke.
You already have identified all your problems and so in a way you know solutions.
Increase your sleep time. Eat healthy. Consult a physician for starting medications for diabetes and hypertension.
reduce weight. Get more physically active.

Work is important but can not be a priority over your health.

You are young at 46 and when people in India now expect to live 75 or 80 years if they are over 18 years.

So, if you give your health some attention now, it will benefit you in future.

Career

Hi My daughter get 72 percentile in jee mains 1 i dont know what happened to her otherwise she is a good student scored 94% in her 10th boards ..if i will look for some private engineering college in india pls suggest i will go with pune or will look for management quota seat for csc from banglore. Pls suggest preference order of btech college in banglore

Ans: Hello Vandana.
Requesting you not to panic at this early stage. Let her appear for JEE session 2 and the state-level engineering entrance test. Let all the results out. You have ample time to think about the available options for engineering admission. At this stage, no need to think about management quota unless and until you want a particular branch in a particular college. Depending on her score in upcoming exams, she may get admission to reputed engineering either in Pune or Bengaluru
Here are some colleges in Bengaluru: (1) R.V. College of Engineering (RVCE) (2) B.M.S. College of Engineering (BMSCE) (3) M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT) (4) PES University (5) Bangalore Institute of Technology (BIT) (6) Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE) (7) Sir M. Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology (SMVIT) (8) BMS Institute of Technology and Management (BMSIT&M) (9) Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology (NMIT) (10) RNS Institute of Technology (RNSIT)
Suggestion - Don't panic. Keep cool yourself. Ask your daughter to focus more on JEE 2nd attempt and state-level engineering entrance test.

If you are satisfied with the reply, pl follow me or else ask again without hesitation.
Thanks
