Health

What are the foods we must avoid to control acidity? Is lack of sleep one of the big reasons for acidity? Does non veg food cause more acidity than veg? Thank you

Ans: Avoid high fat and sugar foods, fries, spices, chocolates, garlic, raw onions, coffee (caffeine) as these are triggers for acidity. Restrain from soft drinks, fruit juices, alcohol which would add to your fat percentage and act as triggers for acidity. Reduce the total consumption of fat in the diet. Lack of sleep does cause gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). As non veg food contains high fat levels, it may cause heart burn especially if consumed in large quantities.

Health

Heloo Mam, Am Rahul from Delhi. My mother suffered Gastric Problem since 1 month. she's not take any junk food or fried, when we eat some foods then after some hours feel acidic. so please suggest.

Ans: She may be reacting to some of the foods we eat normally, like wheat or milk. Have a detailed discussion with a physician regarding this. In addition if she has recently gained weight, she may have developed GERD that causes acid to reflux back from the stomach into the esophagus / food pipe causing heartburn. For this, she must be encouraged to eat small meals, not to have liquid with her food and to not recline or lie down for 1.5 hours after eating. If not better in 1-2 weeks, further evaluation is needed.

Sir, What shall be chosen B Tech CSE with DS at SRM KTR or Btech IT at JIIT Noida

Ans: Both are good options. SRM is more crowded and costly than JIIT. Choose SRM for maximum placement potential and JIIT for value and location preference. As an aside, prefer CSE+DS @ SRM KTR if possible.

I got 2300 OBC RANK IN JEE B ARCH.BUT MY 12 PERCENTAGE IS 73.5.CAN I APPLY FOR JOSAA OR WAIT FOR MY IMPROVME NT RESULT THEN APPLY FOR CSAP. One more answer whether the result of improvement come before CSAP counselling ,

Ans: You can apply for JoSAA now, but for CSAB, you should wait for improvement results if they can raise your 75% eligibility, because CSAB eligibility requires meeting criteria. Improvement results usually come before CSAB rounds, but timing is not guaranteed, so plan cautiously. It is better to explore other options from a safer point of view.
