Question 1

i heard on a segment by dr. sanjay gupta on cnn that some doctors think any oil, even olive oil, increase risk of cardiovascular disease. is it true?

Accepted Answer

Quite possibly: It is true that some doctors do think this, though they are a distinct minority, as most doctors consider olive oil to be heart-healthy. However, an examination of research gives support to the idea that, while healthier than most oils, olive oil, as well as other oils, increases risk of cardiovascular disease. 
See http://bit.ly/1lpJ3ak for a detailed review of the research on olive oil &amp; health.

Question 2

hello sir/mam this is arun gupta.i have an injury in my left knee.dr. said tht i have broken my legament and said me to do some exercise.is it possibl?

Accepted Answer

It depends on which: Ligament you have injured.  If you have torn your acl or patellar tendon typically that requires surgery.  If you tore your mcl, PCL or lcl you can get away with pt and bracing and in time will improve.  The exercise that is most important is one that involves quad strengthening.  Leg lifts, leg extensions, squats, straight leg raisies will all help with this.

Question 4

i listened to dr. gupta last night on msnbc about an alternative to the covid vaccine. its for someone like me that has health issues but not yet 70.  i have copd, liver disease, p. neurophy, need cancerous uterus removed.  osteoporosis?

Accepted Answer

: These problems are not ones that should prevent COVID vaccination. They are not likely to increase the risk of side effects or reduce the effectiveness of immunization. You must be vaccinated:  COVID itself is far more dangerous than the vaccine, especially in people with underlying lung disease like COPD. Discuss with your doctor, and good luck!

Question 7

i am worried about seeing a dr
urgently and today is sunday.

Accepted Answer

Your options: As a USA based site we have no access to or information about the health clinics/providers around the world where this site can be viewed. There may be an urgent care clinic in your area that you could use. It does not seem to be a reasonable issue for a local emergency room. You may want to contact your primary care doc when available to get their guidance on how to proceed.

Question 8

how old do your baby gotta be to stop eating during the night?

Accepted Answer

After 3 months old: At each check-up, the doctor can confirm the baby is fine. Parents patiently wait 3 months before most babies sleep better at night. Until then, parents switch off at night for one feeding, so the husband can use a bottle for one of the feedings while the wife gets a chance to sleep a 4-hour stretch during the night. After 3 months of age, most babies can sleep about a 6-7 hour stretch at night.

Question 9

can you say if it could it help my health if i jog on saturdays and sundays only?

A jog to health: Any exercise whenever is better than no exercise at all. Our bodies were meant to be active to allay diseases like hypertension and diabetes. It is perfectly o.K to be a 'weekend warrior' but don't over do it.

Question 10
