Question by 50 on Nov 07, 2024Hindi

Health

i take alchohal 4 to 5 times a week,as far my health check up ok,how do iastay healthy hydrated sir

Ans: Four to five days a week but how much alcohol every day?

I am not sure about your age and for how long you are drinking? The liver and other organs are affected over a period of time. The changes are also determined by family history and genetic factors.

My advise would be to reduce alochol consumption and preferably, stop completely.
In some countries, alcohol bottles carries the warning that it can cause liver cancer; very simialr ways the cigarette packs have warnings.

Health

My HB keeps on increasing i am not a Chain Smoker, but often i smoke when i drink but it is in limit so please advice me what to do.

Ans: Dear Pradeep Kumar Ji,
There is not as much linkage of Hb or haemoglobin with smoking or drinking as you mention.
Haemoglobin levels are largely dependent upon diet and other factors. Please get a complete blood count, iron studies along with Vitamin levels done and consult a physician, who can guide what might be resulting in fluctuations in your Hb levels.

In any case, please stop smoking and reduce alcohol as much as possible.

Best wishes,

Money

At 25, I have inherited 10-12 crore INR worth of real estate assets in Tamilnadu. I have a master's degree in finance and have a plan to create a well-diversified portfolio, potentially aiming to retire at 35 (I know this is too young, but I would like to spend the rest of my life chasing my real purpose rather than work a 9-5). What do you suggest I do with all my assets?

Ans: Hello;

Is the property in the form of land or commercial/residential units which may generate rental income?

Please update so as to provide suitable feedback.

Thanks;

I have obc ncl certificate of state but for aiq in neet does it will help

Ans: Hello Meenakshi
For the All India Quota (AIQ) in NEET, only the central OBC-NCL list is considered. If your OBC-NCL certificate is from your state but your caste is not in the central OBC list, then it will not be valid for AIQ reservations. If your caste is in both the state and central OBC lists, apply for a central OBC-NCL certificate to use it for AIQ in NEET.
