Question by Pradip on Mar 28, 2024Hindi

Health

Is 19000 steps/ 15 kms walk as weight reduction strategy along with diet control overdoing it?

Ans: The appropriateness of a 19,000 steps/15 km walk as a weight reduction strategy depends on various factors, including age, heart health, blood pressure condition, condition of knee ,hip and ankle joint . While physical activity is crucial for weight management, it's essential to ensure that the intensity and duration of the exercise align with individual health status and fitness levels.

For some individuals, a 19,000 steps/15 km walk might be perfectly manageable and beneficial for weight reduction, especially if they have a healthy heart and blood pressure. However, for others, such a vigorous exercise routine could be too strenuous and potentially harmful .It's always advisable to consult with a Physician and later Physiotherapist before embarking on any new exercise regimen, especially if you have underlying health concerns. They can provide personalized guidance based on your individual circumstances and help you find the right balance between diet control and physical activity to achieve your weight loss goals safely and effectively.

Health

Should i do one hour walk and half an hour yoga to loose weight

Ans: The simple answer would be do what you enjoy more and along with it start including 15 to 20 mins of Pranayama and Meditation. Because weight loss results from repetition and consistency - whichever form of movement you enjoy the most will be the most rewarding as you will be highly regular with it. I would also like to highlight that weight loss is a result of many different elements that must work hand in hand. These include a healthy and enjoyable diet, stress management and activity levels. If someone is very active but highly stressed and eating poorly they may not get the desired results. It is also much harder to eat well when we are stressed, which is why I recommend that everyone should do pranayama and meditation for the mind. For the body you can do yoga, walking or gym - it all depends on your personal preference.

Question by Madhusudan - Mar 29, 2024Hindi

Health

Dear Sir,Iam 63 years old male ,walking in the morning for 40 minutes everyday. Except sunday & my weight is 87 Kg's, please let me know how much i should walk to reduce my weight if any diet please answer.(Thanks).

Ans: Dear Mr. Madhusudan. Thank you for your question. It's great to hear that you're committed to your health by walking 40 minutes every morning. To enhance your weight loss efforts, I recommend incorporating resistance training into your routine in addition to your regular walking. While walking is beneficial for cardiovascular health, resistance training is more effective for burning calories, building muscle, and improving overall fitness. Apart from this aim to create a calorie deficit by consuming fewer calories than you burn, which is crucial for weight loss. Include high-quality protein sources in your diet, such as lean meats, fish, eggs, legumes, and low-fat dairy. Protein helps in maintaining muscle mass and keeps you full longer.

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.
