62-Year-Old Man Seeking Fitness Advice: Should He Continue Current Routine or Add More Exercise?

Ans: Dear Mr Anil. I am a Nephrologist and deals with the kidney. You have 3 risk factors which can affect the kidneys; 1. Obesity, 2. Hypertension, 3. Pre-diabetes.
Definitely you need to reduce your weight. Otherwise it might affect the kidneys in the future.
Have a screening for kidney disease: Do simple tests like creatinine and urine routine, which will give you an idea about your kidney health.
If kidneys are fine, you can increase the protein intake and reduce the carbohydrate intake along with the exercise so that you can reduce your weight.
Please consult a dietitian and make a proper diet plan.

Ans: You're doing well. At this point, I recommend maintaining regular visits to your doctor to monitor your heart and blood pressure status.

Ans: Dear Mr. Madhusudan. Thank you for your question. It's great to hear that you're committed to your health by walking 40 minutes every morning. To enhance your weight loss efforts, I recommend incorporating resistance training into your routine in addition to your regular walking. While walking is beneficial for cardiovascular health, resistance training is more effective for burning calories, building muscle, and improving overall fitness. Apart from this aim to create a calorie deficit by consuming fewer calories than you burn, which is crucial for weight loss. Include high-quality protein sources in your diet, such as lean meats, fish, eggs, legumes, and low-fat dairy. Protein helps in maintaining muscle mass and keeps you full longer.
