I'm a strict vegetarian and just got my vitamin B12 test results back showing 242 pgml. Is that considered a normal range or is it low? I'm really concerned about maintaining my levels. Could you suggest what vegetarian foods might help boost my B12?

I'm struggling with gaining weight after completing my latent TB treatment. My height is 5.8 feet, but I only weigh 47 kg. What kind of food or diet should I focus on to help me put on some healthy weight?

In order to gain weight through muscle mass and not fat, you should eat lean meats, such as skinned chicken, preferably steamed or boiled. Include some dairy fats like paneer and cheese in your diet, but in moderate quantities. Try to eat 1-2 boiled eggs everyday, with nuts like almonds and pistachio to augment your vitamin intake. Fresh fruits and hydration are great vitality boosters. Include at least 150 minutes of physical activity every week.

I'm a bit confused about which type of milk is best for my health. Is there a certain time of the day when it's better to drink milk? We have access to buffalo, cow, and Amul milk here. Someone mentioned to me that cow milk can cause diabetesis there any truth to that? Can you help clarify this for me?

Regarding the type of milk that is good for health, both buffalo and cow milk are nutritious options. However, cow's milk is more commonly consumed and is a good source of calcium and protein. As for the right time to drink milk, it is generally recommended to have a glass of milk in the morning or before bedtime. Regarding the concern about cow milk causing diabetes, there is no direct evidence to support this claim. It is important to maintain a balanced diet and lifestyle to prevent diabetes. You can consider consuming Amul cow's milk as it is a popular and trusted brand. The recommended dosage is one glass of milk per day for adults.
