hi madam, my name is sham pujari, my tummy is very fatty i am doing exercise regulary and cycling daily but no results comes madam kindly suggest me something ample for reducing my tummy

Ans: Reducing belly fat takes time and a combination of the right exercises, diet, and stress management. Since you’re already cycling and exercising regularly, here are a few additional tips that might help:

Core-Strengthening Yoga Poses: Include poses like Boat Pose (Navasana), Plank Pose, and Cobra Pose in your routine. These strengthen your abdominal muscles and improve posture.

Breathing Exercises (Pranayama): Practice “Kapalabhati” (Skull Shining Breath) daily for 5-10 minutes. This energizing breathing technique helps burn belly fat and improves digestion.

Mindful Eating: Pay attention to what you eat. Reduce sugar, processed foods, and fried items. Eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins. Eating slowly and chewing well also helps.

Stress Management: High stress can lead to stubborn belly fat. Spend 10 minutes daily in meditation or relaxation techniques to calm your mind.

Hydration and Sleep: Drink plenty of water and ensure 7-8 hours of good sleep every night. Both are crucial for weight loss.

For best results, consult a yoga coach who can guide you with the right techniques for your body type.

Dr. Shakeeb good afternoon, I am 63, my belly is quite visible and give very bad looks. I need it should be reduce and normal shape. I also walk 6-7000 steps.
Ans: Dear Sir, Thank you for your inquiry. Understanding concerns regarding belly size is crucial, as it can also contribute to back pain. Achieving a reduction in belly size entails embracing a comprehensive approach that encompasses healthy eating habits, regular physical activity, and lifestyle adjustments. Here are some guidelines to assist you in reaching your desired goal: Focus on maintaining a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, while avoiding processed foods, sugary snacks, and high-fat meals. Incorporate a variety of exercises into your routine, including cardiovascular workouts like walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming, to burn calories and reduce overall body fat, including belly fat. Additionally, include strength training exercises such as weightlifting or bodyweight exercises to build muscle mass and enhance metabolism. Targeting specific abdominal muscles through exercises like crunches, planks, and leg raises can help tone and strengthen the core. Monitor your caloric intake and limit consumption of sugary and processed foods. Consistency is key to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight and reducing belly fat, so remain dedicated to your diet and exercise regimen while exercising patience with your progress. With commitment and perseverance, you can work towards achieving your desired waist size and overall health goals, thereby alleviating concerns related to back pain.

Relationship
I am 31 years old and have been married for 6 years. My relatives keep pressuring me and scaring me, saying that I haven’t had a child yet and that I should have one now. However, we are not financially prepared at the moment. We have just bought a house, and the loans have recently started, which exhausted all our savings for the down payment. My husband’s family had a very weak financial background. They had nothing, and he struggled a lot, even living in someone else’s house to complete his education. Only he knows how hard it was. Now, his salary has improved, and I am also employed. Additionally, we are entirely responsible for my in-laws, as my husband’s elder brother neither got married nor provides any support for the parents. We are under a lot of pressure right now, but everyone just keeps asking us when we are going to have a child. I’ve seen how my husband struggled with limited finances when the family was financially weak, and I don’t want to show such hardships to our children. On top of that, I am overweight and focused on losing weight to ensure I can be healthy. I feel very stressed and confused, but my husband is fully supportive of me.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
First of all, I am really glad that you are being so responsible and practical, rather than making such life-changing decisions based on emotions alone. Second, don't worry about other's opinions; they might have your best interest at heart, but this should be solely your decision. You should have a child only when you are ready to have one- both mentally, physically, and financially. And no hard and fast rule says you should have a child within a certain year of your marriage. Two people in a marriage is a whole family too; a child can add to the joy if that is what you want. But if not, your family is still complete. Please remember that.

Take care of your health and your mind. If you are worried about your age, you can always go see a doctor and see how many years you can delay this. Rushing is never a good idea.

Best Wishes.

Career
I'm a bsc botany graduate and now got admission and doing msc. I'm in first year and just gave my 1st semester exam but somehow now i feel i can't do botany at all its not just in my interest. I can't continue further with it as i dont think there's much scope too. I have interest in fields like geography or law related subjects. I'll be attempting for upsc too this year and also had a second thought to go for Law. Should i drop the msc? ....I've cried a lot thinking about that and its affecting my mental health too.
Ans: Hello dear.
First I would like to suggest that, in any way, you first complete your M.Sc. (Botnay) either with interest or without interest. Who told you that there is less scope in Botany? There are a lot of career options after M.Sc. (Botany).It is good that you are interested in geography and are attempting UPSC this year. Dear, along with your M.Sc. you can easily appear for UPSC and do the study of Geography, after completing your M.Sc. you can take the admission to Law course. Many people do the law even after their retirement or in due course of their service. There is no need to cry about the things which happened to you.
Suggestions: (1) Completer M.Sc. (Botany) by any means (2) Space-time to read Geography and UPSC Syllabus (3) Develop your overall personality and try to engage in some extracurricular activities of your interest.
Best of luck for your upcoming bright future.

If satisfied, please like and follow me.
If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
Thanks.
