Which fruits are high in iron?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'm a bit confused about which type of milk is best for my health. Is there a certain time of the day when it's better to drink milk? We have access to buffalo, cow, and Amul milk here. Someone mentioned to me that cow milk can cause diabetesis there any truth to that? Can you help clarify this for me?
Regarding the type of milk that is good for health, both buffalo and cow milk are nutritious options. However, cow's milk is more commonly consumed and is a good source of calcium and protein. As for the right time to drink milk, it is generally recommended to have a glass of milk in the morning or before bedtime. Regarding the concern about cow milk causing diabetes, there is no direct evidence to support this claim. It is important to maintain a balanced diet and lifestyle to prevent diabetes. You can consider consuming Amul cow's milk as it is a popular and trusted brand. The recommended dosage is one glass of milk per day for adults.

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.

Is drinking packed fruit juice like REAL fruit juice every day actually good for me, or is it just adding extra sugar to my diet? I find it convenient since it's easily available in the market, but I'm worried about the health implications. Can it be a part of my daily routine?
Drinking packaged fruit juice like REAL daily isn't as healthy as fresh juice or whole fruits, as it often contains added sugars and lacks fiber. While it's convenient, it's better to limit intake and opt for fresh fruits or freshly squeezed juice when possible.
