We can empathize with your situation. Going through a hormone imbalance after an operation is causing an obstruction for you, but do not allow this to be a hindrance in your objective to get an ideal weight. The nature-dependent diet will surely help you. You can read this blog for more information,https://www.wellcure.com/body-wisdom/234/weight-loss-or-self-love-what-are-we-seeking Consuming methi powder seeds in the morning will help you in treating the weight loss. Do not neglect exercise, 15 days after the operation you can start with your regular cardio exercise. Swimming and yoga are the best things to include at this time. Squats pull-ups and sets of suryanamaskar are helpful in this state. A diet filled with green vegetables and fruits is really good for enhancing your weight loss. Hopefully, these suggestions will help you. Thank you

Hello, It is very nice that you are adopting good eating habits and doing regular exercise. Sometimes, people do workout and yoga on a regular basis but there is lack of correct exercise or yoga asana. For example, kapalbhati pranayam is very effective for belly fat but you may not be doing that and performing some other asana or pranayam and this can be the reason that you are still having belly fat inspite of doing exercise  or yoga.  Belly fat or accumulation of excess fat in any part of the body is the result of a sedentary lifestyle and wrong food intake like eating deep-fried foods, having a high fatty diet, etc. So, to get rid of the belly fat, this extra fat has to be removed. For this, the following tips will be helpful. Diet to be taken Start the day with a glass of warm water with a few drops of lemon juice in it. This will help to improve the metabolism and also to flush the toxins out of the body.  Soak cumin seeds overnight. Boil the water in the morning, add a slice of ginger and honey to it and then strain it and drink. This drink will be helpful to remove the extra fat. Always have natural plant-based raw foods. Include salads, sprouts, nuts, beans to your diet. Have fresh green leafy vegetables.  Have whole grains like barley, millets, oats, etc instead of refined grains.  Have freshly prepared homemade fruit juices. Have a good amount of water throughout your day to be hydrated.  Foods to avoid  Avoid spices and spicy foods.  Avoid sugar, maida, wheat, white bread. Avoid all the packaged food items, deep-fried foods, processed foods.  Avoid tea and coffee.  Avoid dairy food items.   Exercise  Exercise is equally important as diet.  Start your morning with a walk or jogging of 30min. Do plank for 5minutes. Perform yoga like suryanamaskar, kapalbhati, pashchimottan asana. Do pranayam regularly, specially bhastrika and kapalbhati pranayam.  Sleep Sometimes lack of sleep may also result in weight gain. So, take proper sleep of at least 7-8hours daily. Sleep early at night at around 10 pm and also wake up early in the morning at around 6 am.  Thank you

Hello Sheetal, Gaining weight may be due to improper lifestyle or it may also be the result of some underlying disease like hypothyroidism which disturbs the balance of many hormones and also affects the metabolism. This leads to other health issues like stress, anxiety. Obesity also results in low immunity levels which leads to various allergies and respiratory issues like asthma. Since all the problems are interconnected, we need to deal with root cause which is the lifestyle and eating habits. So, here are some tips to follow-  Diet: Eat only plant-based natural raw foods.  Eat fresh fruits like banana, pomegranate, avocado.  Eat fresh green leafy vegetables like spinach, coriander.  Eat salads, steamed sprouts, nuts. Avoid dairy products and animal foods.  Avoid tea and coffee.  Avoid carbonated drinks.  Avoid processed and packaged foods.  Eat whole grains like barley, millets, oats. Drink coconut water.  Ginger It has anti-inflammatory properties and hence is effective in cough. Add the ginger paste to warm water and have this drink twice or thrice a day. Take steam Boil some water, keep it in a big bowl and lean over the bowl, then cover your head with a towel. Take steam this way once or twice a day. Gargle with saltwater Mix salt in warm water and gargle with this water 4-5times a day. Physical activity: Do suryanamaskar daily.  Do gomukha asana, paschimottan asana, padahasta asana, garuda asana daily. Perform pranayam like bhramri pranayam and ujjayi pranayam for benefitting thyroid gland. Sleep: Sleeping pattern and quality greatly affects the circadian rhythm and in turn the hormonal balance. So, take a deep sleep of good quality for 77-8hours daily.  Sleep early at night at around 10 pm and also wake up early in the morning at around 6 am.  Thank you.

No medication or any other supplement is required. With the mushrooming of Gym and exercise centres, the protein myth is made use by the owners to entice customers to sell protein shakes.

Hello User, Acidity is a common problem in day to day life. It usually happens when the excess acid from the stomach escapes and irritates the oesophagus and the throat. As you said you get acidity only after you start your diet. The main cause of it can be an imbalanced or an improper diet a diet which lacks in foods that eliminate the stomach acid or worse, increase it. 1. Dietary advice: Drink warm water with a few drops on lemon in the morning and whenever you feel that you have acidity. Lemon even though acidic in nature has been known to fight acidity and its symptoms. Having Basil leaves daily or Basil extract in water will help you fight acidity. Fennel seeds have been known as a natural cooling agent. Fennel seeds can be chewed after meals to avoid acid reflux. Drink water with fennel seeds and jaggery as it will aid digestion and help with acidity. Cardamom and cloves will aid in digestion but don't overuse it. 2. Physical advice: Walking daily for 30-40 minutes in sun is advisable. Mild to moderate exercise has been known to be effective in acidity. Try not to sleep or lie down for at least 2 hours after eating the food as this is one of the leading causes of reflux. Yoga like Surya Namaskar has been proven to strengthen the digestive system and the muscles supporting it. 3. Mental advice: Mental anxiety and stress are also factors which slowly precipitate to acidity. Calm down using some essential oils before sleep will help you a lot. Pranayam or any breathing exercise will help you both in acidity as well as your weird thoughts. 4. Routine and lifestyle advice: Quit smoking and drinking. Avoid dairy and caffeine as they are known to trigger acidity. Avoid high-fat food. Avoid tomatoes or any food that triggers acidity in the diet. I hope I have covered all the points. Do let me know in the comments if you have any doubts. Thank you. Dr. Sukan M. Rajpurohit M.P.H (Gandhinagar)

You haven't written much about her food habits.  In any case, all conditions are related and they all arise from the same issue. i.e accumulation of toxins in the body due to many years on the wrong lifestyle. Rest assured, once she syncs her lifestyle with nature's laws, she will see great improvement. Whatever be our age, nature has given us all to be in perfect condition. It just needs some discipline and patience. I would suggest these things in the beginning - Quit all animal products like dairy (yoghurt, milk, ghee, chaas, butter etc), non veg, eggs and fish. Contrary to popular opinion, these are complex foods and cause inflammation in the body. Her bad knees are one sign of it. You can find many dairy replacement recipes (like peanut curd, nut milks etc) in the recipe section of this website and also online. Keep trying till you find the recipes you like. Implement the reduction gradually. - Keep off all refined products like sugar, salt (at least switch to sea salt,pink or black salt), maida, white rice etc - Increase raw component in food  - i.e switch to only seasonal fruits till afternoon, Add a salad with lunch and dinner. Grains should not be more than 30% of your plate. I would also advise to keep off wheat and switch to millets or starchy veggies like sweet potato, yams etc - Refined oil is full of toxins. It almost immediately causes inflammation and is a major cause of weight gain. Pls help her to cook oil free. It is quite easy and you wont notice the absence of oil - Let her get sunlight..atleast 30 minutes in a day. If she can't go out, she can sit near an open window and expose her hands and legs as much as possible. Do it early morning and evening - Let her sleep and rest without distractions as much as needed.  - If she can't exercise, let her try dry body brushing to improve circulation of blood. She can try some gently sitting exercises too - Be with her and help her to adopt a positive frame of mind believing in nature and her own body's healing powers. Show her the healing journeys from this website for her to draw inspiration. Yes, these are a lot of things and she may not give her full go ahead. Just ask her to try for 21 days and she herself will see a big change. Of all these changes, the easiest ones to do in my opinion are adequate rest and fruit only breakfast. These two by itself will show lot of promising results. Weight loss will surely happen too as a secondary result. Please keep checking her sugar levels and reducing dosage gradually. My dad was able to quit insulin injections within a week. Surely, your mom can too at some point in time depending on how well she can adhere. Contact me if you want any further info and all the best to both of you. Health is everyone's birthright.
