I've somehow developed a habit of eating raw tea powder every day, and now I'm kind of hooked on it. My mom keeps telling me it's bad for my health. Lately, I've noticed my sleep pattern is really off, I'm usually hungry all night, and my stamina isn't great. Could eating the raw tea powder be the reason for these issues?

View allI'm 22 and thinking about trying Protinex. Do I need to talk to a doctor first? Also, will it actually help me gain body weight?
it's recommended to consult a doctor or a nutritionist to determine if you need additional protein in your diet and to discuss the appropriate dosage; Protinex can help increase protein intake, which can support muscle growth and weight gain, but it should be combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise for optimal results.

Is Rice better than wheat?
Although rice and wheet are both staple foods in India, choice is dependant on individual's need and health status. Rice provides the same amount of iron as wheat but has less phosphorus, potassium and magnesium. It doesn't contain any calcium. Each serving of chapatis provides high calcium, phosphorus, iron and potassium compared to rice. Rice is easier to digest while wheet keeps you full for longer. Rice is rich in folate while wheet has protein. Rice is high glycemic index while wheet is good for diabetics.

I'm feeling really overweight right now. I'm over 100kg and I want to slim down within the next 2 months. What steps can I take to achieve this?
A 20mm Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a significant hole in the heart. While some small ASDs can close on their own, a 20mm defect typically requires intervention. _Treatment options:_ 1. *Surgical closure*: Open-heart surgery is often recommended for larger ASDs like yours. This involves closing the hole with a patch or stitching it shut. 2. *Transcatheter closure*: This minimally invasive procedure involves inserting a catheter through a vein in the leg, guiding it to the heart, and deploying a device to close the ASD. However, this option is typically reserved for smaller ASDs (usually < 20mm) or those with specific anatomy. 3. *Watchful waiting*: If you're asymptomatic and have no other heart problems, your doctor might recommend regular monitoring to see if the ASD closes on its own or causes any issues. However, this approach is less likely for a 20mm ASD. _Alternative options:_ While there are no guaranteed non-surgical cures for a 20mm ASD, some alternative approaches might be discussed with your doctor: 1. *Yoga and breathing exercises*: Some studies suggest that yoga and breathing exercises can help improve cardiovascular health and reduce symptoms. 2. *Dietary changes*: A healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids might help alleviate symptoms.
