Question by Arun - Jul 26, 2023Hindi

Health

Hello Coach, Arun from delhi, 43 years old (weight 81 Kg, Height 5 ft 8 inch), sedentary job style. I was very health conscious about diet, fitness. But during workout for abdominal strength, there was some pain in my back & doctor suggest for MRI and found there was slip disc / disc herniation issue of L4-L5. During last 2.6 years, does several physiotherapy with renowned physio center, yoga & focusing on my diet plan. After 1.6 years also comparing MRI report, shows almost same situation. Need your guidance in this matter, how to recover from pain. Because my current situation is, while standing 5-6 minutes, or walking 5-10 minutes, pain increase from buttock to left side feet. Then I have to take rest for 3-4 minutes, to start again. So, please guide me or suggest me as per your experience. Thanks Arun kumar

Ans: Hello Arun,
Please do let me know more details about the physiotherapy done. Did they give you a Mckenzie program for slipped disc as that is one of the best treatment for disc issues. It includes systematic exercises like wall side glides, road kill position, back extensions. If you are having pain on left side of leg/feet it seems to be a posterolateral disc protrusion for which the wall side glides are very important.
Have you been working on your core? Are your Vitamin D3 and B12 levels ok? How much is your weight now?
If not already please goto a Mckenzie certified physiotherapist and it can make a lot of difference.
If not ok after that also then you may need to go to an orthopedic doctor and consider a minor surgery for the disc.
All the best!

Hello Dr.Shakeeb-i am a 62 year old-Diabetes in Control-BP under control-I do workout regularly-Recently a week back i was doing pushups and it so happened one of my hand slipped and went forward-Nothing happened then;However last 3 days i am having chest and back pain-Dr said it is Costochondritis and there is no treament-rest and meet a physio.However the pain at times really puts me off-what to do-please advise

Ans: I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing discomfort. Costochondritis can be quite painful, but there are ways to manage it at home. Applying either ice or heat to the affected area can help reduce inflammation and ease the pain. Additionally, gentle stretching exercises can improve flexibility and relieve tension in the chest and back muscles. Ultrasound therapy, which uses high-frequency sound waves to promote healing and reduce pain in soft tissues, can also be a helpful option for managing costochondritis when administered by a qualified physiotherapist. Wishing you quick recovery.

Health

Hi , My Hba1c is 6.5-6.6 but sugar fasting is 100-110 and PP is varying 120-145 . These results are in same range since 2years .what does it means ? what should be the diet plan ? how to reduce Hba1c ? whether i am a diabetic ?pl suggest

Ans: A normal level for an HbA1c is below 5.7%.. Your level is indicative of diabetes. Normal fasting blood sugar is less than 100 mg/dl and your range of 100-110 mg/dl which suggests prediabetes. Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats, and plenty of vegetables. Limit refined sugars, processed foods, and high-calorie snacks. Monitor portion sizes and spread meals throughout the day. Regular exercise helps lower blood sugar levels. Discuss your results with a registered dietician or your family physician.

I am 55 and currently struggling with my career. I lost my job 4 years ago during covid. I have a management diploma and currently working as visiting faculty teaching in management colleges, but the assignments are far few and unpredictable i am also a graguare in engineering and MA in psychology. Kindly suggest if studying some course or masters oibe will help me to get some online assignments for stable flow of income?

Ans: Not sure if doing courses would help you to get a stable income as most companies prefer younger employees. But can look at option of working in a startup / smaller company at a lower salary and then build a profile to help develop skill sets that would make you employable at a higher salary. It could also be possible that you could use your experience in your past work in your new job.

Hello, I am having 13years+ experience in telecommunications operators & vendors with engineering background.For last few years I have been thinking of doing an mba in relevant field to move forward. Currently I am earning 28lpa & not able to leave my job for full time executive mba. Should I consider for full time via gmat or any online programs from well known b-schools, Would you please suggest..

Ans: If you are already drawing 28 lpa, then leaving a job for doing MBA does not seem to be a good option. But can analyze the placements in these top Executive MBA course. Check if the profiles that they provide are of interest to you. Their average package should be 30+ lpa. Look also at an option of taking a sabbatical from your company to do an executive MBA.

I am 46 years old Height 5.9 weight 93.i do jogging alternate day like MWF do yoga everyday but i cant reduce my weight i have sitting job from morning 8 to 4 pls advise

Ans: Weight loss can be challenging, especially when you have a sedentary job. Keep a detailed food diary to track your daily calorie consumption. Include protein at every meal as it boosts metabolism and help maintain muscle mass during weight loss. Focus on whole grains, vegetables, fruits and limit refined sugars. Be active. Take short walks, use stairs, or stand up frequently. Cut back on carbs and stay hydrated.

Hi Komal! I am 36/male and have height of 178 cm. I used to weight 90 Kgs 8 months back which I have reduced to 80 Kgs 2 months ago by proper diet and workout (walking 7 kms daily to and fro to office). Now my weight reduction has stalled even when I am eating less than my calorie burn. What should I do to keep the weight reduction going on for next 8 Kgs which is the ideal weight according to my height?

Ans: Congratulations on your progress so far! It’s common to hit a weight loss plateau after initial success. A plateau typically occurs after a few months of consistent weight loss. Include protein-rich meals which boost weight loss by increasing your metabolic rate during digestion. Include whole grains and load up on veggies like broccoli, spinach, and cauliflower in your diet to increase fiber intake and limit refined sugars. Proper hydration supports metabolism and helps control appetite so have plenty of water.
