Question 1

nutrilite kids drink chocolate flavour side effects? my son has a seizure problem and his medicine is going on, but for improving, other health aspects can i give it?

Accepted Answer

: Pediatric seizures may be treated with the appropriate medication, depending on the type of seizure. The description of the events is quite important and a log book is recommended. Keep him well hydrated. Fever reduces the seizure threshold and makes it more likely to have a seizure. Use measures to avoid infections, such as vaccinations, keeping hands clean and mask.
Toddler and older? milk fine.

Question 2

can i drink nutrilite protine powder while i have a dibetic foot and also  left leg is cut off?

Accepted Answer

Yes: But you need to look at the carb & sugar content and balance your diabetic meds accordingly.

Question 3

is it safe to drink around 3 cups of liquid at one time/all at once on a daily, long term basis?  the drinks consist of veggie smoothies.

Accepted Answer

Please Clarify: I am not sure what you are asking.  Most humans drink  more than three cups of liquids daily.  

Now on to veggie smoothies.  Three cups of veggie smoothie surely seems like a lot of carbohydrate or sugar calories to ingest on a daily basis. If you are obese or in any way prone to diabetes this would not sound like a wise choice.

Question 4

is it safe to drink those laxative teas with senna in them on a daily basis?

Accepted Answer

Better not too: Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's safe (hemlock killed socrates). Chronic stimulant laxatives: senna, cascara, aloe, triphala (natural), can lead to dependency, affect the nerve supply of the bowel.
Better: fiber foods (better than supplement), fluids, activity. Occasional stimulants: figs, prunes, senna etc.Ok. Why  constipated? Meds, diet, thyroid, metab, anatomy.
Other lax available.

Question 5

a cardiologist recommended my 62-year old father to drink 1 sachet of pedialyte daily for orthostatic hypotension. would it increase his serum sodium and potassium level as they are currently normal? is it safe to drink ors on daily basis?

Accepted Answer

: Regulation of serum Na and K is complex and I need lots more data.  Recommend asking Cardiologist in PK. The will know more about what to do there is folks like your grandfather using the resources available there. It will not change blood Na or K.

Question 6

can i drink celery on daily basis ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: its ok

Question 7

how harmful for your health is it for a diabetic to drink and smoke on a daily basis?

Accepted Answer

Horrible: Smoking= even if control sugar well, which should markedly reduce diabetic complications- they are not reduced at all if you smoke

alcohol more related to poor sugar control, highs  and lows

but it also increases risk of diabetic nerve disease.

Question 8

is crystal light bad for you? i drink several cups on a daily basis to replace soda and sugary tea

Accepted Answer

Aspartame is TOXIC!: Crystal Light is sweated with Aspartame. While many may regard this as safe, there is very good reason to believe it is actually quite toxic. As someone concerned about my health I would NEVER EVER consume it.
You can drink water or green tea or herbal tea and sweeten with it stevia, erythritol or xylitol, all safe.
Also try kombucha.

Question 9

is sleepytime extra tea (with valerian, 25mg) safe to drink every night (on a long term basis) before bed?

Accepted Answer

Probably: If you have no allergic symptoms to this tea and your reason for taking this tea is being adequately treated,, yes. I am not aware of long term side effects.

Question 10

what are the health risks for children who drink all those "energy drinks "on a regular basis?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the drink: Thankfully most of the vitamin material in energy drinks goes thru you like water. They are not stored & if not used for something they are gone the same day. My primary concern are the drinks with high caffeine & sugar content which can influence blood pressure and weight gain.
