I'm trying to figure out if it's safe to include curd or milk in the diet for someone with high triglycerides and high LDL cholesterol. Is there any benefit or should they be avoided?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For individuals with high triglycerides and LDL cholesterol, low-fat or fat-free milk and curd can be a better option, as they are lower in saturated fats and calories compared to full-fat dairy products; however, it's essential to choose unflavored, unsweetened, and low-lactose options to minimize added sugars and calories.

What if my heart rate is naturally between 90 and 110? I haven't had any problems so far, but I'm just wondering if there's any reason to be worried.
A resting heart rate between 60 to 100 beats per minute is considered normal for adults. A heart rate of 90 to 110 beats per minute can be normal for some individuals, especially if you are physically active or under stress. However, if you are experiencing no symptoms and have no underlying health conditions, this heart rate range may not be a cause for concern. It is always best to consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized assessment.
