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.

Ans: To address your muscle loss, ensure you’re consuming an adequate amount of protein from lean protein sources such as chicken, fish, tofu, legumes, and low-fat dairy products.

Staying hydrated is crucial for overall health, including muscle function. Consider consulting a registered dietitian to assess your specific energy needs based on your activity level, age, and health status.

I recommend consulting a physiotherapist to assess your condition and determine the underlying reasons for forward shoulder posture. Activities that involve prolonged periods of looking down, such as using smartphones or laptops and sitting for extended periods, can contribute to this issue. Stretching and strengthening exercises like Scapular Squeezes, T stretches, shoulder bracing, and shoulder retractions are generally beneficial. Improving ergonomics can also help prevent further deterioration. I wish you a speedy recovery.
