I am getting married in the first week of January. This is my second chance at marriage. I was 25 when I was a young bride. Now I am 34 and I have gained a lot of weight. I am trying to lose weight from my face and belly area to be able to look good in my wedding sari. How can yoga help me?

Ans: Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Yoga can be a great ally in your journey to tone your face and belly, as it combines physical exercise, mindfulness, and breathing techniques. However, lifestyle and dietary changes are mandatory for weight loss. Maintaining a healthy dietary regimen with low carbohydrate and fat foods, adequate protein and high fiber diet will aid in weight loss. Include foods like whole grain cereals, fruits, vegetables, beans, low fat dairy foods, lean meat, etc. Control portion size and have regular meals daily. Avoid fast foods, sugary drinks, high fat foods, etc. and adopt a regular exercise schedule. Drink plenty of water and sleep well.

Hello Dr., My wife aged 40 years have anemic problem continuously from past 2 years during this period she diagnosed with 2 times blood transfusion about 2 units 1st time and 3 units 2nd time and three times with iron drips. I have done all the tests but nothing comes out. about 5 doctors changes but nobody finds the reason of down Hb. Please suggest I am worried about her, her weight also loss now she is very week.
Ans: 40-year-old woman with anemia who has had multiple blood transfusions, is taking iron supplements, and has undergone tests with normal results, may have an underlying medical condition causing her anemia. The weight loss observed could be related to the anemia itself, or it could be a separate issue unrelated to the anemia. Further investigation to identify the cause of the persistent anemia and the weight loss is needed.
Possible reasons for persistent anemia:
Iron Absorption Issues:
Despite taking iron supplements, the woman may not be able to absorb iron properly due to conditions like celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, or prior surgery.
Bleeding Source:
A hidden source of bleeding, such as a polyp, ulcer, or other gastrointestinal issue, could be causing the blood loss that needs to be addressed.
Chronic Disease:
Anemia of chronic disease can occur due to conditions like kidney disease, heart failure, or inflammatory conditions, and the treatment focuses on managing the underlying disease.
Other Types of Anemia:
Conditions like aplastic anemia (where the bone marrow doesn't produce enough red blood cells) or hemolytic anemia (where red blood cells are destroyed prematurely) may also need different approaches.
Incorrect Iron Supplement:
The iron supplement being taken may not be the most effective type, or the dosage may be too low, preventing the anemia from being fully resolved.
Reasons for weight loss:
Anemia's Effects:
Underlying Medical Condition:
The woman's weight loss may be related to an underlying medical condition not related to the anemia, such as hyperthyroidism, cancer, or an eating disorder.
Iron Supplement Side Effects:
Some iron supplements can cause digestive issues like constipation or stomach cramps, potentially leading to changes in appetite and weight.
