Hello Doctor,
2 months ago, my test results were:
Serum Homocysteine: 63.6 µmol/L
LDL Cholesterol: 148 mg/dL
As advised by a doctor, I took Folic Acid tablets for 2 months.
Recent test results:
Serum Homocysteine: 25.33 µmol/L
LDL Cholesterol: 153 mg/dL
Vitamin B12: 283 pg/mL
Vitamin D (25-OH): 46.4 nmol/L
Could you please review these results and advise:
What treatment or supplements should I take now?
Do I need any further tests or follow-up?
I am overweight I am working at a corporate and it is mostly a seating job like a 9-11 hours job. So I wanted to lose weight. So help me to suggest diet and nutrition.
Doctor, I'm 18 years old and currently weigh only 38 kg. I'm trying to gain weight in a healthy way because but I fall sick very easily.
I recently had cold, throat pain, and fever. I think eating too many heavy foods like paneer paratha, ghee, and dry fruits increased my body heat and triggered the fever.
Could you please guide me
What foods can I eat to gain weight without causing fever or throat infection?

For a 31-year-old woman and would like guidance regarding supplements for general health maintenance.
I am considering taking Omega-3 and Magnesium supplements to support overall health, stress management, and sleep quality. I would like to know:
1. Are Omega-3 and Magnesium supplements recommended for someone like me?
2. What dosage is generally suitable for long-term maintenance?
3. Which forms of Magnesium (e.g., glycinate, citrate, etc.) are preferred?
4. How should these supplements be taken (daily or on alternate days, with food or without food, morning or night)?
5. Are there any side effects or precautions I should be aware of?
6. Should I get any blood tests done before starting these supplements?
Goal is to maintain a healthy body, support regular sleep, and address general nutritional needs rather than treat a specific medical condition.
