Hello readers, thank you for the profound response. I am including those questions which were common and asked by more than 2-3 people. I shall include single questions in my next chapter.
Q1. Hi Akshita, I am experiencing a lot of muscular pain from certain days. I am not even exercising so I cant understand why is this pain occurring. Is there a remedy through diet? please suggest anything vegetarian as I m a strict vegetarian.
Ans: Hi, this muscular pain may be a result of vitamin B-12 deficiency. Kindly get yourself tested for the same. Vitamin B-12 deficiency is very common among vegetarians and is also found to be common after a prolonged antibiotic treatment. The remedy can be consumption of milk and milk products. But for immediate relief kindly take a short-term supplement for the same.
Q2. Hi Dr Akshita, how sugar-free is zero calorie. Kindly explain. Also, tell the safe amount that can be consumed every day.
Ans: “Sugar-free” is basically complex carbohydrates. Example saccharin it is a complex carbohydrate that is why it tastes sweet but since humans don’t have the enzyme to digest it, no calories are liberated by its consumption. It is passed out as such from our body. As far as safe consumption is concerned each sugar-free product present in the market uses different complex carbohydrate so safety limits differ from product to product. You can ask your doctor/chemist for any particular product’s safety limits.
Q3. Hi, I was reading your profile on your website and it said that you are a clinical dietitian/nutritionist. Can you tell me how is that different from a dietitian?
Ans:- Hi, A clinical dietitian is the one who can deal with all kinds of lifestyle disorders and has complete medical know how about the same. She can treat/manage all diseases using therapeutic diet plans. Complex diets like kidney disorders, cardiac conditions, liver disorders, food allergies, gastro malfunctioning can be handled by her. A dietitian, on the other hand, may just be trained to bring about weight loss/ weight gain.
