Hello I am 42Y Male. My weight is 56.6 kg and height is 166 CM. Currently I am healthy. However with increasing age, I am afraid that I may get hypertension Diabetes, I follow fasting for 14-16 hrs daily and run around 50Km per week. Can u please suggest if these measures are enough to remain healthy for a longer period of time or any changes are required. My sleep pattern remain disturb. not sure what is the reason. I eat Carbs only during lunch and only protein diet in dinner before 7 PM. Occasionally I drink (once in 3 month) and have refined carbs food and sweets once in a month..

Ans: While you are following a healthy life style in terms of eating habits and regular walks, mental relaxation can be achieved through meditation and pranayams - starting from a smaller period and going upto an hour - but daily practice. Secondly, you should 0watch your sleep regime and try to relax your mind before hitting the bed. You can do Om chanting for 5 to 10 minutes, soak your feet in epsum salt for 10-15 minutes or at least wash them with cold water before sleeping. I am sure you are already keeping a gap of 2 hrs between your dinner time and bed time, also practice a digital detox of at least an hour before sleeping.

I do 45 to 60mins yoga everyday(surya namaskar & astang yoga) and 12k steps walking in the evening. I drink 2.2 litres of water daily Sleep at 2 AM, wakeup at 10 AM , Intermittent fasting warm water + 1 spoon honey immediately after wakeup at 10 AM breakfast(12 PM)=poha/upama/idly/dosa etc & 1 cup Bournvita ; lunch(4PM)=2 jowar/wheat roti, sabzi, rice-dal; Evening(5PM)= 1 cup tea, fruits- apple/chikko/orange; Dinner(9PM)= 1 jowar/wheat roti,sabzi, rice-dal; Late night(11:30PM)= dry fruits-kaju/badam/pista/sweet amala candy I am software Engineer, non-veg once in a month(only chicken biriyani) Alcohol= once in a month(1200ml) only beer BP 120 to 140/70 to 80, fasting sugar 72 to 80 Could you please advise on my life style ? Thanks

Ans: Hi, You are dot on when it comes to eating healthy and even the workout plans. However, if not done at the right time during the day, they can rather be harmful to the body. Our body functions are regulated by the solar & lunar cycle during the day. As the Sun controls our digestion, it is advisable to eat during the day hours and very light after sunset, especially no later than 8PM. Secondly, the day is also governed by the three doshas - Kapha, Pitta and Vata - therefore our workout, sleep, food regime should be inline with these systems. Since you have a family history, it is advisable to meet a Ayurvedic practitioner to understand these cycles and plan your day accordingly.

Health

I am 46+ years with height 5 ft 5 in and weight currently 79 Kg. I reduced my weight with controlled eating by 5 Kg after i was tested Diabetic. Currently i eat a mild medicine a day to control diabetes. The last 2 fasting results have been 88 and 110. I love sweets, having a tough time staying away from it...dont drink alcohol, eat outside food once in 2 weeks (pizza, chinese etc.)...any suggestions or recommendations for me to stay healthy?

Ans: For your height, you may need to still work to reduce weight. Indulging once in a while is ok, but important to work on a balanced diet and daily walking/ exercise. Seeing a Dietitian will help you. Check HbA1c also. Stay in touch with your Dr.

Hello Kolmal Madam, Alok this side. I am 55 yrs old, height 5' 10", weight 78-79. Till last yr my weight was 75-76 kg. The weight has increased 2- kg in last few months. I was prediabetic for last few years with HBA1C around 64-6.5. This January my HBA1C was 6.9 and yesterday it was test to be 7.4. BP has also increased to 97-152. ECG was found to be normal. I need to reverse my diabetes, and I am confident I can do it. I have decided to stop carb at night totally, will do exercise twice daily, and sleep daily for at least 7 hrs. Are these steps sufficient? I sincerely need your advise. Regards

Ans: I am happy to hear that you’re motivated to take control of your health! Your plan to cut carbs at night, exercise twice daily, and ensure adequate sleep are excellent steps. However, there are some additional strategies that might help you control your diabetes and improve your overall health. Focus on whole foods like vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and whole grains. Avoid processed foods and sugary drinks and reduce carbohydrate intake. Incorporate healthy fats like avocados, nuts, and olive oil in your diet. Weight management should be a priority. Focus on losing fat percentage and increasing muscle mass by avoiding refined foods and following strength training exercises. Even a modest weight loss of 5-10% of your body weight can significantly improve blood sugar levels. Stay well hydrated and monitor your progress with the help of your doctor or a qualified dietician.

Dear Sir, Good morning, my son scored 97.233 percentile in JEE mains and the ranking is 43683 in General and 12901 in OBC ( Tamil Nadu Home state) Please suggest the future scope streams and locations we get in Indian Institutes.

Ans: Rajesh Sir, based on your son's score, NIT Trichy CSE/ECE is unlikely, but he can try for Production, Civil, Chemical, and Metallurgy branches through the home-state quota. Better future scope choices are the following: ECE/EEE/AI-related branches over weak core branches if he wants IT jobs. Preference order can be IIITDM Kancheepuram ECE/Mechanical-Smart Manufacturing, NIT Puducherry ECE/EEE, NIT Andhra Pradesh ECE/EEE, NIT Calicut/Surathkal lower core, IIIT Kottayam/IIIT Dharwad/IIIT Una/IIIT Bhopal/IIIT Ranchi CSE/ECE through CSAB, and then GFTIs. Additionally, reviewing JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the past 2–3 years will provide valuable insights and help your son confidently select and fill his preferred & maximum number of choices. However, your son can have backup options of TNEA counselling and 4-5 reputed private engineering colleges of Tamil Nadu State. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Mutual Fund Expert - Answered on May 08, 2026

Question by Rajender - May 06, 2026Hindi

Money

Can we invest in small cap mutual funds at this time or wait for pullback

Ans: Hello, and thank you for writing to me. Investing in small-cap funds should not be based on trying to time a “pullback,” as this is difficult to predict consistently.

Small-cap funds can offer high growth potential over the long term, but they are also more volatile and can see sharp corrections in the short term. If the investment horizon is 5+ years and there is comfort with such volatility, investing through SIPs is a better approach rather than waiting for the “right time.”

If already investing, it is advisable to continue SIPs. If starting fresh, one can begin with a SIP instead of a lumpsum.

Overall, small-cap funds can be part of a portfolio, but allocation should be limited and aligned with risk appetite, as returns are subject to market risks.

Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully.

Ans: Chances with NITs are nil. But you can try with newer NITs like NIT Mizoram / Nagaland / Arunachal Pradesh. It would be better to try with COEP, VJTI, etc or good branches in state colleges through MHT-CET/JEE CAP rounds.

Good luck.

Sir my son got 77perxentile in jee and he is OCI any chance he get admission

Ans: Bharti Madam, At 77 percentile, NIT/IIIT/GFTI chances through normal JoSAA are very low. Since he is OCI, check whether he must apply through DASA/CSAB-DASA, because DASA is the official route for foreign national/OCI/PIO/NRI candidates for NITs, IIITs and GFTIs, and it requires a valid JEE Main rank plus Class 12 eligibility. Realistically, at this percentile, expect only low-demand branches or vacant-seat possibilities, not CSE/ECE in good NITs/IIITs. Still register for CSAB/DASA special rounds, as CSAB fills seats after JoSAA. It is advisable to have 5-6 reputed private engineering colleges also as backup options. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Sir i got 93%ile in jee mains. My CRL is 265794 and OBC(ncl) category rank is 93991. And I'm from Bihar. Can i get CSE/ECE/IT/MnC in Any IIIT/NIT/GFTI

Ans: Harsh, Based on your score, CSE/ECE/IT/MnC in NIT/IIIT/GFTI is almost not possible through JoSAA. Still register for JoSAA + CSAB Special Rounds, as CSAB fills vacant NIT/IIIT/GFTI seats after JoSAA. But at this rank, even lower branches may be difficult and do not depend on NIT/IIIT/GFTI for tech branches. Better backups are Bihar UGEAC/state counselling, private colleges with fee control, CUET-based central universities, AKTU/MPDTE/REAP/HSTES if eligible, and affordable options like GECs/state engineering colleges. For CSE/IT, prefer a decent state/private college with good coding culture over an unrelated weak branch. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Hi Sir, My daughter got 95.639 in Jee mains and her obc-ncl rank is 21327. We are from Karnataka state Kindly suggest colleges for cse, ECE or eee

Ans: Based on your daughter's score, NIT Surathkal CSE/ECE is unlikely, but try EEE/Mechanical/Chemical/Civil/Mining/Metallurgy under the home-state quota. For CSE/ECE, give priority to IIIT Kottayam, IIIT Dharwad, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Ranchi, IIIT Bhopal, IIIT Una and newer IIITs through CSAB, where vacancies may help. For NITs, try NIT Andhra Pradesh, Puducherry, Goa, Agartala, Meghalaya, Mizoram, or Sikkim for ECE/EEE or lower branches. Additionally, reviewing JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the past 2–3 years will provide valuable insights and help your daughter confidently select and fill her preferred & maximum number of choices. It is also advisable to have backup options among KCET/COMEDK colleges—such as RVCE, BMSCE, MSRIT, PES, NIE Mysuru, BMSIT, and DSCE—as they may offer better branch and location value compared to a weaker NIT branch. All the Best for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!
