I'm new to Mumbai and the only thing I'm eating right now is idli vada. I'm curious, what's the calorie count for this meal? And is it good for nutrition? I'm trying to make sure I'm eating healthy.

A typical serving of idli (2-3 pieces) and vada (1-2 pieces) contains approximately 250-400 calories, with a breakdown of 50-60g carbohydrates, 10-15g protein, and 10-15g fat; idli vada can be a nutritious option due to the presence of fermented rice and lentils, which provide probiotics, fiber, and essential amino acids, but be mindful of the oil used for frying vada and consider pairing with vegetables or sambar for added nutrition.

Random Bruising: Possible Causes and Connections _Possible Causes_ 1. _Vitamin deficiencies_: Lack of vitamins C, K, or B12 can affect blood clotting and vessel integrity. 2. _Blood disorders_: Conditions like thrombocytopenia, platelet dysfunction, or coagulopathy can cause easy bruising. 3. _Medications_: Certain medications, such as anticoagulants, aspirin, or steroids, can increase bruising risk. 4. _Hormonal changes_: Hormonal fluctuations during menstruation, menopause, or pregnancy can affect blood vessels and lead to bruising. 5. _Autoimmune disorders_: Conditions like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis can cause blood vessel inflammation and bruising. _Connection to Delayed Periods_ 1. _Hormonal imbalance_: Hormonal changes can contribute to both bruising and menstrual irregularities. 2. _Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)_: PCOS can cause hormonal imbalances, leading to bruising and menstrual irregularities. _Connection to Vertigo_ 1. _Vascular issues_: Vertigo can be related to vascular problems, which may also contribute to bruising. 2. _Inner ear problems_: Inner ear issues, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), can cause vertigo and may be unrelated to bruising. _Recommendations_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss your symptoms, medical history, and medications with your doctor. 2. _Blood tests_: Get blood tests to check for vitamin deficiencies, blood disorders, and hormonal imbalances. 3. _Gynecological evaluation_: If you're experiencing delayed periods, consult a gynecologist to rule out underlying conditions.

I'm really curious about whether it's okay to drink water before eating a banana or any fruit. Do you think there's any issue with doing that? Also, is there a recommended amount of time to wait between drinking water and eating fruit?
Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you might be experiencing a perianal abscess or a thrombosed external hemorrhoid, which can resemble a painful pimple or lump near the anus. To confirm the diagnosis, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a proctologist. Avoid self-diagnosis or treatment, as this can lead to further complications. Apply a warm compress to the affected area to help alleviate pain and discomfort. Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection. Refrain from straining during bowel movements or sitting for extended periods.

What can I eat at night to lose weight?
It's not just what you eat at the night that helps in weightloss but the overall calorie intake throughout the day matters. Keep your dinner small, protein rich and light and give 2 hr gap between dinner and bed time.
