Question 1

i am a 21 year old guy.my weight is only 50 kg.i want to increase my weight.i am jain ( pure vegetarian).plz help?

Accepted Answer

Protein: Resistance training and vegetarian protein can help you gain weight but it will take time to do so. Eat lots of beans and nuts as part of your diet. The protein and healthy fat will help you add weight.

Question 2

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 3

ovulation  was last sunday, jan 6th. how long can i test before a positive test. i am feeling very tired, and low energy, the last few days. ?

Accepted Answer

3 weeks later: A urine pregnancy test gives a reliable result if done correctly and read correctly, 3 weeks after sex or 1 week after missing a period.

Question 4

hello i have had a hard lump appear almost overnight on my left wrist, i joined a gym on sunday and used light weights could this be why?

Accepted Answer

Ganglion Cyst: Most likely it is a cyst which is caused by excessive fluid from your wrist pushing out against the joint capsule. The cause of fluid is repeated movements of the wrist bones causing irritation. This should improve with rest but will reoccur with increased activity. Only way to completely get rid of it is to have surgery. If it doesn't hurt leave it alone if it bothers you see a ortho surgeon.

Question 5

finished period thursday 22nd jan! had sex with bf saturday night woke up sunday with pink mucus discharge and bled monday but stopped that night??

Accepted Answer

Its OK: often the uterus bleeds easier just after your period if it is exposed to trauma.  It sounds pretty minimal in amount and no other symtoms.  I would not worry about it.  It is pretty common.

Question 6

period jan6.started birth control took incinsistent sunday after. 2nd period jan 19. stopped birth contro no period. took test 1week ago -- negative?

Accepted Answer

Sex?: I'm not exactly sure when u had sex during this window, but let's say once a week? Also, we don't know when you will have your next period. Anytime you mess up the pills, you should use condoms for a month to prevent pregnancy. Take a pregnancy test a week for 2 more weeks, if it's still negative and you are taking the pill and using condoms, you are negative.

Question 7

hi all, just found out i am pregnant, conception 04 jan, period 7 days late on todays date (30 jan). i have been drinking alcohol, last friday 24 jan 2 glasses champagine, 2 glasses wine, saturday 25 jan, 2 glasses wine, sunday, 3 glasses wine ...

Accepted Answer

No actual question: Only a statement was posted. That said, alcohol is toxic to living tissues (we humans are a complex glob of living tissues) so it's best to avoid it, especially during pregnancy. Also, we get enough man-made toxins into our bodies nowadays that we don't need to drink additional voluntary toxins. It's much safer to drink water or green tea, neither of which contain calories nor alcohol.

Question 8

think i have plantar fasciitis on my left foot. my left foot pains a bit when putting pressure on it. it also feels as though my left foot moves towards the right when i walk, even though im walking straight. it started on sunday 10th jan 2020. ?

Accepted Answer

See foot doctor: Would have a foot specialist evaluate, especially due to question of &quot;plantar fasciitis&quot;.  There could be a heel spur or even tarsal tunnel issues, and these too need focus. Could choose orthopedic surgeon, physiatrist, or podiatrist.

Question 9

how can the japanese stay slim?

Accepted Answer

Lifestyle: The average Japanese diet contains about 25% less calories than that eaten by Americans. Portions are often much smaller wi samplings of a variety of foods. There is ample use of fish, soy, vegetables, seaweed, fruit, noodles / rice &amp; green tea. Japanese often take more time over a meal. They tend to walk or cycle as opposed to driving everywhere.

Question 10

do the japanese hokkaido pills work?

Accepted Answer

Probably no: Japanese hokkaido weight loss pills are another in a long line of weight loss supplements, containing various plant extracts. It is probably safe, but there is no scientific evidence that it works for weight loss. You would be better off sticking to regular exercise and balanced healthy diet.
