I am a 62-year-old man, weight 83 kgs, mostly sitting work, living in Noida.I am diabetic for over 25 years.

Ans:

Your situation may seem difficult to you, but it isn't reversible.

Diabetes with excess weight is a condition which can be overcome with healthy habits.

Lack of endurance and insulin resistance is a sign of uncontrolled sugar levels.

To bring a change, you must include aerobic and strengthening exercises which will increase your lean mass and metabolism.

Include healthy foods in your diet like oats, dalia, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans, which contain lots of fibre. This will help increase your metabolism and thereby reduce your blood sugar levels.

Protein-rich foods are necessary for sustenance, so include foods like dairy products, eggs (if permissible), lentils, nuts, soya, etc.

Reduce too much namkeen, which is not healthy and has lots of trans fats, salt and additional calories, which will spike the blood sugar levels.

A balanced diet that contains essential nutrients, and a modification of your habits, will result in a healthy lifestyle geared towards fitness.

Dear sir, My name is Manjunath aged 50, we are basically from Karnataka but now working and settled in Gujarat last 20 years, I have 2 kids studying class 6 and class1, Our caste is OBC, I need to take an advantage of OBC caste for my son future studies, but the problem is in Karnataka taluk office they are not issuing caste certificate because they are saying we need to stay present then only certificate will issue, but in Gujarat we don't know we can get certificate or not because the perticular caste not exists in Gujarat state. Please help me how to get OBC certificate from which state and the process Regards Manjunath
Ans: Manjunath Sir, To obtain an OBC certificate for your children, it's essential to understand the state jurisdiction where your caste is recognized. In Karnataka, the Karnataka authorities are responsible for issuing the certificate, while Gujarat may not be feasible if your specific caste is not listed in the OBC list. To apply, you need to visit the native Taluk, gather necessary documents, and submit the application in person. If traveling isn't possible, consider using an authorized representative or an online application. Future considerations include considering residency implications, staying informed about changes in policies, seeking legal advice if uncertainties persist, and engaging with community groups from Karnataka residing in Gujarat. By following these steps, you can secure the OBC certificate for your children and ensure they have access to its benefits. All the Best for your Children's Prosperous Future.

I am 21 year old female, doing my graduation in zoology from a central university. And I am in my 3rd year now. But I am still having doubts on which direction should I go for after graduation. I don't have any interest in higher studies. And I am afraid that if i won't get a government job then i will regret leaving my studies after graduation. I don't have any other skills beside drawing good portraits. I have already tried to sell my portraits but that was also a failure because of bad marketing . I have self esteem issues, bad communication skills. And though i score good marks in exams but these are just bookish knowledge which i just forget after attempting exams. I want to do a job but don't know which direction to go or how to prepare myself. Please give me some advice on how to build my career, develop a better personality.
Ans: A B.Sc. in Zoology can lead to various career opportunities, including wildlife technicians, environmental educators, zookeepers, and animal care technicians. Government positions, such as the Indian Forest Service (IFS), Staff Selection Commission (SSC), and Public Sector Banks, value graduates from diverse fields. To leverage your artistic skills, enhance your online presence and learn basic marketing skills. Improve self-esteem and communication skills by joining workshops or clubs, setting small, achievable goals, and seeking feedback.

Practical steps forward include identifying your interests, researching potential careers, developing necessary skills, networking with professionals, and considering internships or volunteering. Despite the uncertainty, taking proactive steps, seeking support, and being open to exploring various opportunities can lead to a fulfilling career. All the Best for your Prosperous Future.

My son scored 83% in JEE first session he is interested in AI & ML , can he get seat in NIT or IIT under ST category and now he preparing for CBSE 12th Board exams and then he attend JEE 2nd session in APRIL 2025, kindly suggest
Ans: Regarding IIT, it is contingent upon his performance in the JEE-Advanced and whether he is assigned a rank. Regarding his JEE-Main 83rd percentile, I recommend verifying the following to see which NITs and branches he may qualify for admission. To determine which National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and branches she might be eligible for, consider the following steps: Identify Preferred Branches: Discuss with your daughter to understand his interests and preferred engineering disciplines. Check JoSAA Opening and Closing Ranks of 2024: The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) provides detailed information on the opening and closing ranks for NITS and branches. To access this information: Visit the official JoSAA website. Navigate to the "eServices" section and select "Opening and Closing Ranks 2024". Input the desired parameters such as counseling round (preferably the last round for comprehensive data), institute type (e.g., NIT), specific institute names, academic programs (branches), and your daughter's category. Review the displayed data to identify institutes and branches that align with his percentile and preferences. For a broader perspective, consider exploring opening and closing ranks from previous years, which can provide insights into trends and help set realistic expectations. While his current score is commendable, it's prudent to have alternative options. Encourage his to appear for additional entrance examinations to keep multiple pathways open. All the Best for your Son's Prosperous Future.

My son is 12th appearing for his board exams right now. He has scored 96.5 percentile in JEE January attempt. He is planning to give second attempt in April and also JEE advanced. Actually his percentile went low due to Maths in which he scored 70. Physics and Chemistry he scored above 98 He really likes studying Physics. What branch can he opt for in future??
Ans: Congratulations to your son for achieving a 96.5 percentile in his JEE-Main examination. (Based on his score of 96.5, his rank may be approximately between 4200 and 4700 (as you have indicated in single decimal). Here are some highly effective strategies and recommendations for your son: He should concentrate on weak topics and questions answered incorrectly in his mock and practice tests from his coaching center. It is essential to keep revising and practicing those chapters and topics. He should continue to revise Physics and Chemistry as well. He can begin practicing questions from the JEE-Advanced exams of the last 20-30 years. As nearly all the chapters of PCM are addressed in his Coaching Centre, he is able to effectively and strategically manage the preparations for both his Board exams and the JEE-Main-April Session as well as JEE Advanced. To determine which National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and branches she might be eligible for, consider the following steps: Identify Preferred Branches: Discuss with your daughter to understand his interests and preferred engineering disciplines. Check JoSAA Opening and Closing Ranks of 2024: The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) provides detailed information on the opening and closing ranks for NITS and branches.
