I'm a bit worried about my health and need some advice. Is a urea level of 12 mgdL considered very bad? What kind of medication should I be considering? Also, I'm a non-smoker, I don't drink, and I follow a vegetarian diet. Back in February, my triglycerides were 157, but now they're up to 216. This is surprising since I've lost 7 kgs through exercise and dieting. How could my triglycerides have increased despite the weight loss?

urea is normal To manage triglycerides:
- Dietary changes:
- Reduce carbohydrate intake.
- Increase fiber consumption.
- Choose healthy fats (avocado, nuts).
- Limit sugary drinks and foods.
- Exercise:
- Continue regular physical activity (150 minutesweek).
- Incorporate high-intensity interval training (HIIT).

View allI'm really concerned about my wife's health. She's been diagnosed with a Vitamin D deficiency at 8.5, and the doctor recommended Calcirol 60K once a week. I'm wondering if she could take D-Rise 60K capsules instead of the Calcirol powder. Also, if the powder is the better option, what would be the ideal time for her to take it? And can she take it with warm water? I'm eager to know.
yes you can take it ,it should be taken along with heavy meal or oily meals cause it increses absorption as it is a fat soluble vitamin

My mom has been struggling with thyroid issues and her doctors are recommending surgery. I'm really worried is surgery absolutely necessary in her case? How long might the recovery take if she goes through with it? Also, could you share some dos and don'ts she should follow right now to manage her condition better?
Thyroid surgery is needed for large goiters or cancer; recovery takes 2–3 weeks—follow meds, rest, and avoid strain.

Is it possible to naturally increase breast size at 19 without surgery I've heard yoga and massage might help but I'm not sure how effective they are or if there are specific exercises that work better
Natural remedies and lifestyle changes cannot enhance breast size. Certain exercises, however, can help increase the strength and tone of your chest muscles. Maybe you own a top you think would fit better if your chest were a little bouncier. Maybe you wish your chest were a bit more pronounced.
