Diet Advice and Tips

I had a few questions about health claims on packaged foods and was hoping someone could clarify them for me: What does a “high protein” label actually tell us about a food, and does it necessarily mean the food is healthy? What is the difference between “zero sugar” and “no added sugar”? Can a food still be unhealthy or nutritionally poor even if it has claims like “high protein,” “natural,” or “zero sugar” on the packaging? When buying packaged foods, which parts of the nutrition label should we pay the most attention to? Are words like “natural,” “multigrain,” or “immunity” actually useful indicators of nutritional quality, or can they sometimes give consumers a misleading impression?

Hey guys! So I felt a kind of nervousness around my chest middle portion, around 11 pm in the night and then by morning I was still feeling nervousness. The nervousness was there and I was feeling slight heaviness in my chest, even in stomack and also kinda in my left hand (that made me rethink more about it). Now it's August and till now I have experienced this 3 times, I feel sudden nervousness that then leads to feel heaviness and overthinking. Today I was havin gol gappas in the night and I felt a lil smthn in my left side of chest so little bit so u started walking and felt okay. Before this even I felt slight chest pain in right as well. I overthink a lot and last time I was struggling kinda to breathe even. What it could be? Also whoever I eat anything junk I go straight to the washroom, even now I am Goin to the washroom like more time than I usually do. What's it? Please tell me?. And I am 21 years old and I feel what it could be.

I don't eat fish or any seafood because I live far away from coastal region but I do eat meat and eggs. I might be having omega 3 deficiency as vegetarian sources have a very low conversion rate of EPA and DHA from ALA. Should I use omega -3 fish oil capsules. If yes what shall be the appropriate dosage of EPA DHA and fish oil. I m 16 year old and I m  physically active. I play sports and do strength training and I haven't ate seafood regularly since birth.

So, I went to a doctor and he told me that it is gastritis, which is some due to eating too much spices. And I agree with that. But I still have two questions : If it is due to spicy still there is a moment when I felt like heaviness in my cheat, unable to breathe, feeling smthn and getting nervous and thinking what it is even when i didn't eat anything spicy. Second it even happend when I was watchin a show and some scene made me nervous and I started feeling it again, but I wanna ask, since I study in a college where I don't need to go regularly, so I sleep around 6 am in the morning and wake up around 4 pm (also coz I have been depressed 2 years ago), and then when I wake up I have my lunch and have dinner around 12 am or smthn. I just wanna know since my family hates this schedule of mine, but I am like this only and I feel comfortable too (GEN Z LIFESTYLE yk) do you think this schedule is not okay? and it could be a reason of what I feel? or what.

I had chronic fissure & bleeding for 6 years . So I underwent kshara sutra thinking it's less painful. But the thread changing sessions went on for 2 months & even after that there was lot of pain & didn't seem like it was healing. So I underwent another fissure tissue removal surgery 4 months ago. I had followed everything doc had told. I was getting better. But I have had pain & can't manage a day without 2 sitz bath. Moreover even after following all that, I've been having a strange lower abdominal pain & further the whole lower body starts paining. More like pulling & burning .I even have the anal pain. There's no bleeding or pus. But pain.I really have no energy to undergo another surgery.This is my 5th surgery & I have other health probs too. Already lost 20kgs coz of previous surgeries.Feeling more weak now. Also want to mention that in college, i had eaten lot of slate pencils for 3 years.Is that the reason?Now i don't eat. I can't quit my job too.Please help & guide 😭 painful
