Hello ma'am I'm 22 years old male with a height of 5 feet 2 inches and a body weight of just 35 kilograms I've been facing a really poor appetite for a few years now, tried homeopathic medicine but didn't work, and still, the same issue persists, even when I feel hungry, and sit to have my meal I feel full just after having two chapatis the third one gets too tough to have, I tired my meals into smaller ones, making it from 3 big meals to 5 smaller meals but that also didn't work for me. Someone asked me to take Zandu Pancharishta, but I don't know whether it will work or not. I'm suffering a lot due to low weight. I just want to have a richer appetite and increase my weight so that I can focus more on my physical well-being. Thank you.

Ans: I’m sorry to hear about the challenges you’re facing with your appetite and weight. Focus on high-calorie, nutrient-dense foods like nuts, seeds, avocados, and dairy products. These can help you gain weight without needing to eat large quantities such as smoothies, protein shakes, or yogurt with granola. Light exercises like walking or yoga can help stimulate your appetite and improve overall well-being. Include strengthening exercises to increase muscle mass and remain well hydrated. Consult a professional dietician who will be plan a diet and exercise schedule as per your requirements

Hello I'm a 22-year-old male with a height of 5 feet 2 inches and a skinny body with a weight of just 35 kilograms with a really poor appetite; I do feel really weak and in winter my ribs and knees start hurting a lot, getting stiff, I want to have a muscular build with thicker arms and legs and a body weight of approx 50 kilograms with such low height should I even think of getting to the gym and how much time could it take to achieve so? If yes, then how could I achieve the desired results? How could I fix this poor appetite issue which didn't get resolved even after taking homoeopathy treatment, I've been facing this issue for the last few years where having 3rd chapati becomes such a task for me, also it takes a lot of time for me to finish a plate of rice because my stomach feels full even if I have a little, even having fruits make my stomach full, having a single boiled egg becomes too tough for me. Please guide me through this.
Ans: Hello Anonymous,
If homeopathy has not helped you then please try Ayurveda. There are many people who benefit greatly with Ayurveda in which they first check your body 'prakriti' which is vata, pitta and dosha and which category do you belong too. Accordingly they will start working on the root cause of your poor appetite and gut issues.
There is also something called as 'Kumbhaka pranayama' which could help you a lot.
Please do find out about the Ayurveda and Kumbhaka. I feel these can make you much healthier.
All the best for a wonderful and healthy life ahead!

I have completed my msc in biochemistry n now doing internship but I am confusing about my future because I see this field don't pay me inuff for life even for future... N don't have more jobs in Maharashtra. I don't like production jobs but in Pharma only production pay much so what can I do .. Can u suggest me which job is high payable after Msc biochemistry
Ans: Hi Nandu,

Greetings!

Could you please let me know which year you completed your course and whether you are currently doing an internship or apprenticeship? An internship is part of the curriculum, where students gain practical training, sometimes with a stipend and sometimes without. After completing your course, you can opt for an apprenticeship, which typically lasts one to one and a half years and includes a stipend, usually split 50%-50% between the industry and government.

If you are in the internship phase, please inform me about the specific field you are working in. Initially, you may not expect a high salary, but after gaining expertise in your field, your compensation will improve. Typically, this takes about three years, so it’s important to focus on skill acquisition for a better future.

If your internship aligns with your field of study, I encourage you to continue and consider starting a medical lab or exploring opportunities in medical devices related to biochemistry. However, pursuing a career in pharmaceutical production may not be suitable for you, as it is a different field, and you may find it challenging to grasp the processes involved since you are currently inexperienced in that area.

Please share the specific field of your internship, and I would be happy to provide more tailored advice.
with regards
