Hello User, Everything has one answer which is the nutrients in the body that are not showing its effects due to malabsorption when the nutrients are compiled in a diet that is complex high in gluten and fat-full diet then it is difficult for nutrients to seep in the body. Protein intake being low is the cause for decreased hair growth, as our hair is made up of proteins and it is the same answer for accelerating weight gain. Eating a low-quality diet with complex carbs also does not allow protein in the food to get absorbed. If you improve your hair and skin and start exercising. Hence we need a multidimensional solution, in order to treat hair growth problems, it should be about everything, food, meditation, sleep, and exercise which amalgamate for good health. Eat: The first thing in the morning is to start your day with something light in nature. Easy to digest is what your breakfast should be because they are the kind of nutrients that get absorbed easily. Even the early morning ritual should include consumption of two-three glasses of warm water will help in flushing out all the toxins. Proteins in the form of fruits and vegetables, seeds like chia and flax also have good proteins, and will be light on the stomach and will help in complete absorption of nutrients. Make your breakfast raw with a glass of juice (vegetable) and boiled sprouts) Snacking on Vitamin C rich fruit after your breakfast like oranges, mosumbi, sweet potatoes will help in improving skin texture. Before an hour of your dinner consume one tablespoon of chia seeds soaked in one glass of water with a tablespoon of lemon will help increasing vitamin C intake and your skin will improve. Hair packs which you should try for hair fall and grey: 1. Onion juice helps in increasing hair quality. 2. Massage hair with coconut oil with aloe vera gel natural extract to improve blood circulation in hair. 3. Methi seeds powder mixed in water helps in giving shiny hair and treat the hair greying effectively. Application of neem powder one tablespoon with one teaspoon of turmeric and mix in rose water will make your skin glowing. Exercise: Rubbing nails of both hands with each other tends to increase blood circulation in the scalp. This leads to show healthy effects on hair. Pranayam helps in detoxifying the body. Practicing it early morning in an area that has good sunlight will help in improving blood circulation. Meditation: In any kind of disease, stress comes complementary to it. But with our assurance and positive attitude, we can treat anything. The best thing to start with is breathing mindfully before sleeping with the help of music to stay positive. In a room take a bowl of water and add two-three drops of orange or lavender essential oil. This will help in soothing you and the aroma will relax you and keep you away from any kind of disease. Use a 15-minute relaxation technique before sleep by hearing a piece of soothing music and deep breathing will help in relaxing your mind. A positive attitude will help you to deal with everything in life. Sleep: Sleeping for at least 7-8 hours is really helpful in dealing with any problem. Sleep is our body's natural response and helps the body to heal. Sleep relaxes the muscles and strengthens our body. During sleep, our body goes into a repair mechanism where it heals itself. Hopefully, these suggestions will help you. Thank you.

Hello, It is very nice that you are adopting good eating habits and doing regular exercise. Sometimes, people do workout and yoga on a regular basis but there is lack of correct exercise or yoga asana. For example, kapalbhati pranayam is very effective for belly fat but you may not be doing that and performing some other asana or pranayam and this can be the reason that you are still having belly fat inspite of doing exercise or yoga. Belly fat or accumulation of excess fat in any part of the body is the result of a sedentary lifestyle and wrong food intake like eating deep-fried foods, having a high fatty diet, etc. So, to get rid of the belly fat, this extra fat has to be removed. For this, the following tips will be helpful. Diet to be taken Start the day with a glass of warm water with a few drops of lemon juice in it. This will help to improve the metabolism and also to flush the toxins out of the body. Soak cumin seeds overnight. Boil the water in the morning, add a slice of ginger and honey to it and then strain it and drink. This drink will be helpful to remove the extra fat. Always have natural plant-based raw foods. Include salads, sprouts, nuts, beans to your diet. Have fresh green leafy vegetables. Have whole grains like barley, millets, oats, etc instead of refined grains. Have freshly prepared homemade fruit juices. Have a good amount of water throughout your day to be hydrated. Foods to avoid Avoid spices and spicy foods. Avoid sugar, maida, wheat, white bread. Avoid all the packaged food items, deep-fried foods, processed foods. Avoid tea and coffee. Avoid dairy food items. Exercise Exercise is equally important as diet.

Hi! I have regular periods but problem is low bleeding flow. I checked with gynecologist they scanned and told your ovum size is small. So can you suggest me natural remedies to overcome this issue?
Nikita Mishra
12:51 PM | 03-12-2020
Hello Sindhu, Low bleeding in periods may have various reasons like anemia or hormonal imbalances or high stress levels apart from ovum problems. Here is what you should do to keep the health of your ovums at best. Say no to smoking Smoking permanently speeds up egg loss in the ovaries. The chemicals in cigarettes mutate the DNA in a woman's egg cells, making some of the eggs unsuitable for conception. So, it is best to keep eggs healthy and free of unnecessary chemicals. Manage stress levels Stress can produce hormones such as cortisol and prolactin that can interfere or halt ovulation, which also hinders egg production. Stress-reducing activities such as yoga, meditation, exercise or a warm bath can help keep stress and frustration at bay. Have a healthy diet Healthy foods improve overall health, this includes helping your eggs stay healthy and high quality. Eat plenty of green leafy vegetables and fresh, seasonal fruits. Include sprouts, beans, nuts and dry fruits in your diet. Include whole grains in your diet like oats, barley, millets, etc. Yoga Good egg health is aided by oxygen-rich blood flow to the ovaries. Blood flow in the body can quickly decrease from dehydration, so aim to drink atleast 10 glasses of water each day. Yoga is a healthy and relaxing way to improve blood flow. Perform yogasanas such as the lotus pose, child’s pose, reclining hero and seated forward bend. Sleep Good quality sleep is extremely important for maintaining the circadian rhythm. So, have a good quality sleep of at least 7-8hours daily. Sleep early at night at around 10 pm and also wake up early in the morning at around 6 am. Read books before sleeping for an improved quality of sleep. Thank you

Hello Kalpesh, Diet is very essential for a healthy body and mind but along with this, physical activity, correct lifestyle and sleeping habits are also equally important. Eating correctly is essential but along with a correct diet, appropriate absorption of the foods that we eat is also important, so that our body can utilise the nutrients present in the foods. Diet to follow- Start the day with a glass of warm water with a few drops of lemon juice in it. This will help to boost the metabolism as well as to flush the toxins out of the body. Eat only plant-based natural foods. Drink freshly prepared homemade fruit juices. Have soaked dry fruits and sprouts in the morning on an empty stomach to get the easily absorbable nutrients. Eat fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Drink almond milk. Have whole grains like barley, millets, oats, etc. Use cold-pressed oil for cooking. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to be hydrated and remove the toxins out of the body. Foods to avoid- Avoid animal foods and also avoid dairy products. Avoid processed, packaged foods. Avoid carbonated drinks. Avoid white sugars. Avoid refined oils and refined grains. Exercise Exercising is very important for a well functioning digestive system so that the nutrients can be absorbed efficiently from the food. Do suryanamaskar daily. Do kapalbhati pranayam. Do plank for 5min daily. Take sunrays early in the morning for 15 to 20 minutes. Sleep Sleep deprivation may also lead to certain issues like weakness, digestive problems, etc. Hence, take proper sleep of at least 7-8hours regularly.

Hello Netra, Sweat glands act as the body's natural thermostat. When they suddenly go into overdrive, you get sweaty palms and feet. While this can be socially embarrassing, the good news is that excessive sweating, hyperhidrosis can be controlled. Here are some tips that will help to cure hyperhidrosis- Tomato juice Beyond the cancer-fighting benefits, tomato juice also shrinks your pores and can reduce chronic sweat. Eating a tomato-rich diet or simply drinking a glass of tomato juice each day will help you control excessive sweating. If tomatoes aren't your thing, try applying tomato juice to your feet and palms and let it sit for at least 10 minutes before rinsing off. Green and black tea Green tea contains magnesium and Vitamin B, which constrict your sweat glands and keep you calm. If you sweat too much, try swapping out your morning green tea to get on these sweat blocking benefits. If you experience constant underarm sweating, green tea has astringent properties that can reduce sweating when applied directly to your skin. Potato Consuming too much sodium will cause your body to retain more water. Potassium-rich foods like potatoes and broccoli reverse this process to help push water out of the body. Because of this response, potatoes are known to absorb excess water and help relieve sweating. Simply rub potato slice on your feet and palms for a few minutes daily to experience the benefits. Lemon The acid in lemon makes it a perfect candidate to naturally reduce excessive sweating. Rub a half lemon on your feet and palms to experience the benefits. Diet Make sure to have only plant based natural foods. Drink freshly prepared homemade fruit juices. Include whole grains in your diet like millets, oats and barley. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Have fresh, seasonal and locally available fruits and vegetables. Yoga Performing yoga regularly keeps your body fit and your metabolism right. So, try to give at least 45 minutes for yoga and pranayam. Do pranayam regularly for 15-20min, specially anulom-vilom and bhastrika pranayam. Perform tada asana, trikona asana, gomukha asana and padahasta asana. Thank you

So, firstly, it is very important that your digestive system is working properly and your bowels are getting cleared regularly. Diet to follow- Consume almond milk or soy milk. Eat peanut butter. Soak raisins overnight and have it in the morning. Eat dry fruits. Have sprouts, nuts, beans, fresh fruits and vegetables in your meals. Drink water only when you are thirsty. Also, do some physical activity like yoga or any other exercise to keep your metabolism active, so that, the food gets absorbed and the digestive system remains healthy. Things to avoid Avoid dairy products and animal foods as they may disturb your digestive system. Avoid processed foods, packaged foods, and all the junk foods. Physical activity It is very to be physically active for a good metabolism. So, do exercise or yoga and pranayam regularly. Practice suryanamaskar daily. Do bhujanga asana, trikona asana, gomukha asana and padahasta asana regularly. Practice pranayam regularly for 15-20min. Take sunrays in the morning for atleast 20min. Sleep Sleeping properly is also important for a healthy body and mind. For getting good quality sleep, avoid using electronic devices 1 hour before sleeping, sleep in a dark room, the room should be quiet and clean. Read some book before sleeping. Thank you
