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.

I'm carrying around an extra 15 kilograms and I'd really like to shed that weight. Can you help me figure out the right diet plan to follow for losing these extra kilos? Is there something specific in my eating habits I should be adjusting?

Avoid processed foods and prefer whole wheats. Restrict sugar intake and fried foods to a minimum. Use an app or counter to measure your daily calorie intake and try to maintain a calorie deficit for each day. Find a sport which you enjoy, such as badminton or yoga, and engage in physical activity for at least 150 minutes every week. Consult a dietician to work out a sustainable diet plan.

I'm worried about gaining muscle and increasing my weight. Right now, I weigh 62 kg, my height is 5'9", and my BMI is 20.1 with a body fat percentage of 13%. I hit the gym daily for weight training. I'm wondering if I can use desi ghee to help with weight gain. I've heard it has a high saturated fat content, but I also read that the saturated fat in ghee is short-chain, which supposedly isn't as harmful as the long-chain ones. Can you tell me if ghee would be a good option for me?

Someone told me ghee contains high saturated fat, but I read that saturated fat in ghee is short-chain which is not harmful like long-chain fatty acids. Is ghee good for me? Desi ghee can be a good option for weight gain as it is a rich source of calories and healthy fats. The short-chain saturated fats in ghee are easily digestible and provide a quick source of energy. However, it is important to consume ghee in moderation as it is high in calories. You can incorporate a small amount of desi ghee in your diet to help with weight gain, but make sure to balance it with a healthy and nutritious diet.
