I am 47 years old and weigh 63 kg. I have been recently diagnosed with hypo thyroid. My weight has increased due to the thyroid problem. Specially in the belly fat region. Kindly suggest yoga exercise and diet to be followed to lower the thyroid problem. Thanks.

Ans: Since the problem has reached the Hypo thyroid stage, you will need medication. Yoga and diet can help regulate the condition. Practice Om chanting and bhramari pranayam every day for at least 15 minutes. You can visit a naturopath with your reports to get a diet plan.

I’m a 42-year-old school teacher. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 5 years ago and I’ve been on Thyroxine 75 mcg every day. My reports say the condition is controlled, but I don’t feel normal at all. I still struggle with weight gain, fatigue, hair fall, and I often feel cold. This affects my energy so much that I find it hard to manage both my work and home. I’ve heard that yoga, especially pranayama, can help balance thyroid and improve energy levels. A friend of mine has benefitted from it too, so I want to try. Could you please guide me.
Ans: I understand how you feel. Even when thyroid reports are “normal”, many people still feel tired, cold, and low in energy. This is common in hypothyroidism. Medicine controls the hormone, but lifestyle and stress also affect how you feel.

Yoga and pranayama can support you. They cannot replace Thyroxine, but they can improve energy, metabolism, mood, and sleep.

You can start with gentle daily practice:
1. Neck and shoulder movements – improve blood flow to thyroid area.
2. Bhujangasana (cobra pose) and Matsyasana (fish pose) – gentle chest opening helps thyroid region.
3. Setu Bandhasana (bridge pose) – improves circulation and energy.
4. Anulom Vilom – balances hormones and calms mind.
5. Bhramari breathing – reduces stress and fatigue.
6. Yoga Nidra or simple relaxation – very important for deep rest.

Do everything slowly and regularly. Morning sunlight, walking, and proper sleep also help thyroid health.

But please don’t practice randomly from videos. Thyroid care needs a balanced routine based on your body, age, and energy level. A trained yoga and meditation coach can guide you safely and help you stay consistent.

I strongly encourage you to learn under guidance instead of practicing alone.

Sir me bcs final year me hu aur mujhse mba Krna he to kaise kya tyari kre aur sir me up board ka student hu private college mil jye jiski fees normal ho aur me cover kr lunga iske liye me kis chej ki tyari kru
Ans: For affordable, decent private options in UP and nearby (Delhi-NCR), focus on institutes like Jaipuria (Lucknow/Noida), BIMTECH Greater Noida, IMS Ghaziabad, ABS Noida, and similar AICTE-approved private colleges that provide clear information on fees and placements. Many of these have total fees in the 6–14 lakh range with average packages around 5–8 LPA, which is “normal” compared to premium schools. Typical eligibility is a recognised bachelor’s degree (any stream, including BCS) with at least 50% marks (45% for reserved categories) and a valid score in at least one entrance test such as CAT, MAT, CMAT, XAT, or the state exam (like UPCET/its successor) or the institute’s own test; selection then adds Group Discussion/Personal Interview/Written Ability Test. As a UP Board student, your board does not limit your chances; what matters is your graduation percentage, entrance score, and performance in the interview. From now on, you should prepare for one low-to-moderate difficulty MBA entrance exams. Shortlist 10–12 private colleges in UP/Delhi-NCR with fees and average placements that match your budget, then track their application dates and processes through official college and state counseling sites. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!
