Question by Shenaa on Sep 10, 2024Hindi

Health

I am 30 years my hb1ac is 6.4 is maintaining diet and walking 5 kms enough to reverse it

Ans: Hello Shenaa,

Following a proper diet and walking 5 km daily is a positive start, but it alone may not be enough to reverse the condition. To effectively manage and potentially improve it, focus on creating a calorie deficit, following a low-carbohydrate diet, and incorporating regular exercise. Along with walking, adding resistance training can enhance metabolic health and yield better results.

It’s also essential to seek guidance from a physiotherapist to develop a safe and effective exercise plan and consult a nutritionist for a tailored diet strategy. A combination of these efforts will help you achieve your goals more efficiently.

MY AGR 67 MY HbA1c is 6.9 which is 3 month back is 7.9 , by diet control can I reduce it to 6.4. what food i have to avoid for this purpose

Ans: Effective diet control for diabetes will include complex carbohydrates such as brown rice, whole wheat, quinoa, oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, beans, and dals. Foods to avoid include simple carbohydrates, which are processed, such as sugar, pasta, white bread, flour, and cookies, pastries, and namkeens. Starchy or root vegetables should be eaten in moderation along with other fiber rich veggies. Have salads with each meal to balance sugar levels. High glycemic index foods should be restricted. These foods raise sugar levels very quickly.

I am planning to buy land loan for 10 lakhs. When approached ICICI, they informed minimum amount to be sanctioned is 20 lacs. Can I repay the surplus as part of EMI ? If yes , my monthly emi goes 1,75,000 My total income is 1.5 lacs per month and I can able to pay 1.75 emi by using the surplus and using the salary income Advise if it is wise decision? Interest rate at 8.75

Ans: Hello;

It's not fiscally prudent to borrow more then your requirement.

You may approach some other lender.
Even if rate of interest is slightly higher go for loan only for the required amount.

Also select a longer repayment period so the EMI burden will be lesser.

As and when you get surplus income like bonus do the loan principal repayment as early as possible.

You will also have to invest for retirement and other financial goals as well.

Best wishes;
