I am 61 years old. I regularly get my Cholesterol and Uric Acid checked. For last 2 years the results are almost same. My UA is 7.40mg/DL & Cholesterol is 228 md/DL. I do not have any side effects. I do daily exercises and also try to restrict the diet. Please advice what all things I should do to control these the readings as the results are not varying.

Ans: Maintaining consistency in diet control and adapting lifestyle modifications is the key to a healthy body. For controlling cholesterol levels, follow a diet rich in fiber which acts as a scavenger to remove accumulated cholesterol in the blood vessels. Thus include fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains in your daily diet. Inclusion omega 3 fatty acids that help in lowering LDL is helpful. Concentrated foods like sweets, chocolate cakes, pastries, ice creams and fried foods should be avoided. Animal foods, should be restricted in quantity. For lowering blood uric acid levels, avoid meats such as organ meat, seafood and high fructose foods or sweetbreads, which have high purine levels and contribute to high blood levels of uric acid. Limit the intake of vegetables with moderate purine content such as spinach, cauliflower and mushrooms.

Hi I am facing an issue of elevated uric acid iver 1 yr now... Gout on left toe and feet and body pains in several body parts like ribs, back etc. Uric acid is constantly above 8...Taking febustat 40 twice daily past 15 days.. Also experiencing indigestion Pl advise

Ans: So, the Febustat is useful for reducing uric acid. However, since you have symptoms of Gout as well, you need additional medication to address the Gout.
However, it is equally important to understand the underlying pathology of why you have high Uric Acid. Alongside medicines, please adopt lifestyle and discuss with a dietitian to understand what dietary modifications need to be done.

Medicine and lifestyle modifications together will ensure better treatment outcomes.

Relationship

Mam, I am in relationship with one girl since 2.5 year and my girlfriend told about our relationship to her mom. Every positive point of mine which told by my girlfriend to her mom but every point taken negetivly and denied to her.. Move on from relationship... Leave this relationship. He is not good boy.. The problem of her mother is the caste as well as I am Divorcee person and she is unmarried. We love to each other and want to marry. Due to her mother oppose, she is nervousness totally or told that she has no any idea what to do... How to do.. She is not sure she is convince to her family or not. She told that I don't know how much time she can servive to convince her family. Totally her mind felt like empty, dumb, nervousness. Her father not know about our relationship. When this type moment occurs she behave that sometime it is agree to make efforts for convince and sometime when she is nervousness that time she told that i can not convince and to do the breakup because she is not want to go against the her mom and family. But she told that also she want to marry with me. What should I do?

Ans: I am going with the assumption you both are adults who are thinking individuals. I am also assuming you are both financially independent.

Families, parents are important and it should be so. I understand parents apprehension, having said this, I do not get it why caste and relationship status as previously married takes precedence over compatibility. One should also realise that every relationship needs working upon by 2 people- there is no certainty if someone gets married within their caste or choice of parents/ family.

Coming to your issue there are 2 options

- she is open to take the step upsetting her parents and getting married to you

or

- she and you need to move on and move on in the true sense. which means no connection whatsoever, move out of each other's social media, block contact details and move on, heal yourself and find someone else.
