I've been drinking water that's been left overnight in a copper vessel, and I've been doing this every day, even during the rainy season. Should I keep this routine going all year round? Is there any reason I should stop during different seasons?

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.

Do you have any advice on a proper diet for someone with my blood type, or maybe some supplements I could try? I'm a bit concerned and would love some guidance.

focus on incorporating protein-rich foods, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates, such as lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables; consider adding supplements like vitamin B12, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids to support weight gain and overall health; also, explore increasing calorie intake through nutrient-dense snacks
