Is Rice better than wheat?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'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.

I'm 33 and just a regular person trying to make healthier choices. I've been thinking about adding ghee to my diet daily but I'm unsure which one is better for health benefits - cow ghee or buffalo ghee? Can you help me understand the differences or what might be better for someone like me?
Both cow and buffalo ghee offer health benefits, but cow ghee is generally considered superior due to its higher levels of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which may aid in weight management and immune function; however, choose a high-quality, grass-fed, and cultured ghee from either source to reap the benefits.
