Question 1

I'm really curious about whether it's okay to drink water before eating a banana or any fruit. Do you think there's any issue with doing that? Also, is there a recommended amount of time to wait between drinking water and eating fruit?

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you might be experiencing a perianal abscess or a thrombosed external hemorrhoid, which can resemble a painful pimple or lump near the anus.

To confirm the diagnosis, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a proctologist.

Avoid self-diagnosis or treatment, as this can lead to further complications.

Apply a warm compress to the affected area to help alleviate pain and discomfort.

Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.

Refrain from straining during bowel movements or sitting for extended periods.

Question 2

I've been having sabja seeds water now and then to help with heat, urinary infections, and keeping my stomach clean. I'm curious if it's okay to just drink the water straight without chewing the seeds. Like, does my body really absorb it that way? Will it still work and give the benefits if I don't chew the seeds?

Accepted Answer

Drinking sabja seeds water without chewing is not recommended, as the seeds' nutritional benefits and gel-like properties are activated when chewed or soaked in water, allowing the seeds to release their mucilage, which aids digestion and provides other benefits.

Question 3

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?

Accepted Answer

Your symptoms suggest an underlying gastrointestinal issue. Consider the following possible causes:

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
Gastritis or stomach ulcers

Consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation and diagnosis.

Which fruits are high in iron?

Fruits like apples, banana and pomegranates are a rich source of iron and must be taken each day by anaemic individuals to get those pink cheeks and stay in pink of health. Mulberries and black currants too are iron-rich.
