I am 68 years old with diabetes and hypertension and on insulin.height 5.7 ft and weight74 kgs.what exercise or walking is benefical for me. I do not have a y knee problem

Ans: Thank you for your question. Low-intensity aerobics exercises are suitable for individuals with diabetes and hypertension, especially considering your age. They provide cardiovascular benefits, aid in weight management, and help maintain optimal blood sugar levels. Here's a list of the exercises you can consider

Walking and Brisk Walking:

Resistance Exercises using Thera-Band: Resistance band exercises are gentle on the joints and muscles while still providing strength-building benefits.

Cycling, whether outdoors or on a stationary bike, is another low-impact exercise that can improve cardiovascular fitness and help manage weight.

Swimming: Swimming provides a full-body workout without putting stress on the joints.

Meditation and Yoga: They can help reduce stress, lower blood pressure, improve flexibility, and enhance overall well-being.

Incorporating a combination of these exercises into your weekly routine can help you achieve your fitness and health goals while managing diabetes and hypertension. Remember to start slowly, listen to your body, and consult with your healthcare provider before beginning any new exercise program.

Hello sir this is Nishat , I passed my 12th in the year 2023 with a good percentage but however I couldn’t see it for chemistry exam. So obviously I failed in that subject so I decided to again reappear for that exam and in 2024 I gave betterment exam from my state board in the subject biology and chemistry. However I scored far better in biology than last time but (Chemistry) I don’t know maybe it’s it’s because of the issues that we have with our board. I couldn’t score good marks so even I had decided to give (Chemistry) separately and so in 2024. I again set for (Chemistry) exam under nios I and I scored 80 so now the thing is that I’ll be having two mark sheet so while applying in need I cannot possibly select the code 2 because although I already have the state board certificate but the NIOS certificate is not yet out and it will be out by end of the March sir can I possibly select the code one that is appearing or will it create problems while counselling or is there any other option please help me out sir , I’m very desperate like I have prepared for neey for the last two years and I don’t want to put my hard work into vain. Please Sir help me out
Ans: Hello Nishtam
Please select code 1 without any fear. Focus more on your study. But considering your fear and anxiety with the chemistry subject, it is recommended that you choose other options than NEET. This time you appear without any fear.

If you like the reply, please follow me else ask again without hesitation.
Thanks
