Health

I am 50 years. I am putting on weight. Regular periods. But still putting on weight. I am 75 kgs. Height is 4.9 Slimming protein drinks are not suiting the body as I have ulsur and fungal infection. Any other solutions

Ans: Hi, while your symptoms indicate an onset of Menopause, it is better to stay on a healthy diet - more fruits & vegetables - to control the hormonal imbalances, rather than following stringent diet plans. Also, I strongly recommend you to start Yog based lifestyle, under guidance of a good certified teacher. It will not only enable your body to transition well into the next phase, but will also help deal with symptoms of menopause.

Hi Mam, I am 39yr old. 5.65 feet tall. Always a lean guy, from my childhood. I am an active person. Plays cricket regularly. I have been suffering with digestion issues for about 20yrs. Got treated for IBS 10yrs back. Other doctor told me, I have excessive bile secretion. But nothing worked. Stopped medications. Always felt bloated. My weight was maintained from 58kgs to 56kgs. Felt I was developing a belly without gaining weight. Felt something was wrong. So two months back, I stopped having dairy foods except buttermilk and ghee. No coffee or tea. Reduced the intake of sugar and processed food too. Now, i feel lot more lighter, healthier and feeling more hungrier. But my weight is reduced to 54kgs. Is it a concern? Should I worry abt it? What shud I do to arrest my further loss of weight?? Thank u

Ans: Hello anonymous,
Glad you are feeling better. At times stopping gluten, dairy and sugar can really help.
It is not so much about the weight. Are you overall feeling any weakness? Or are you feeling more energetic? You should all your blood reports done to see if all parameters are okay. Also get your body composition done on a machine available at some gyms and physiotherapy clinics and see if your fat/muscle percentage is ok.
Also it would be good for you to once consult a good nutritionist to receive a customized nutrition according to your body type and lifestyle.
All the best!

Sir,Is civil engineering good for girls from NIT JALANDHAR as she got 94 percentile and 90000 rank for general category

Ans: A 94 percentile in JEE Mains, while decent, may not guarantee admission to top NITs like NIT Jalandhar for highly competitive branches like CSE or ECE. However, it's a good score for mid-tier or newer NITs, where Civil Engineering is a possibility, especially with the EWS category.

Sir VIT BHOPAL with category 1 IS BETTER OR BANASTHALI JAIPUR

Ans: For Category 1 in VIT Bhopal, it is generally considered a good option, particularly for those who prioritize a strong academic environment and career opportunities. While VIT Bhopal has good placement records, some students say the campus life may be more restrictive, especially if you value a more relaxed atmosphere. Banasthali Jaipur is a more holistic option, offering a strong focus on holistic development in addition to academics and placements.

Ans: With an AEEE rank of 29,000, you have a decent chance of getting into Amrita University, potentially at the Amritapuri or Bangalore campuses. It might be challenging to get into the Coimbatore campus with that rank, especially for popular branches like CSE. Your chances for a less competitive branch like Civil or Chemical Engineering in Coimbatore are better.
