I have been trying to become pregnant for the last 3 years without success, which foods can help me in conceiving?

First of all, think of the psychological factors like stress in yours and your husband’s side. The stress has enormous effect in conceiving, moreover, excessive wish for a baby gives only negative results and this blocks your hormones as well as neurotransmitters.

As one of my colleagues put it in a simple manner, want to become pregnant, want to have a baby; then tell your husband you are not interested to have a baby now and you yourself forget about the baby, you conceive very quickly.

A general health, good nutrition and patience are important. Eat food rich in antioxidants and vitamin E. Foods rich in zinc and selenium are important for your husband.

Do not forget the physical activity, you both need this like walking, swimming or gymnastics are good. If you have any health problems, consult your doctor before you do these exercises.

I am 53, my height is 5 feet 3 inches, and weight 75 kg, How to reduce my weight with food and exercise?

If you have high blood pressure or taking any other medicines, at first talk to your doctor about the side-effects of this medicine. Weight increase is one of the many side-effects, it is very difficult to reduce your weight, but not impossible.

60 kg should be your normal weight, 15 kg you have to melt, but it should be done slowly if you want success in your effort. An individual diet plan could be made for your breakfast, lunch, dinner, the in-between snacks or fruits and recommendation for your fluid intake.

The first two kilos will go very quickly within a few days because it is only water, do not reduce the amount of your meals drastically, this makes the brain to tell the body to reduce the speed of the metabolism, you burn less calories and you wait sadly for weeks or months without any success.

Consult your doctor about the exercise you could do and your trainer plan and accompany your exercise programme according to that.

Reduce the amount of your meals slowly, increase your exercises also slowly, I am in contact with you to give the correct direction or tips and the result will be very encouraging.

Breast Cancer, Risk Factors and Symptoms

Risk Factors

Risk Factors are several conditions which makes it likely to get a particular disease. Always remember that having one or even more risk factors does not necessarily mean one will develop breast cancer. At the same time many women with breast cancer have no known risk factors. That means we do not know now many risk factors yet and we must look critically everything which may cause breast cancer.

The known Risk Factors include:

• Inherited genes which increase cancer risk – certain gene mutations, the most common genes are BRCA1 and BACR2.
• A personal history – if you have in one breast the chance of getting in the other breast is very high.
• A family history – if mother, sister or daughter has breast cancer the risk is more. But remember many of the diseased have no family history of breast cancer.
• Increasing age – risk of breast cancer increases with age.
• Late first pregnancy – if one gives birth her first baby after 35 years, the chances of developing breast cancer may increase.
• Overweight and Obesity – these increase the risk of breast cancer
• Early puberty and menstruation - getting first menstruation till 12 is considered a breast cancer risk.
• Late menopause – if the beginning of menopause is after 55 years, this increases the risk of developing breast cancer.
• Postmenopausal hormone therapy – women who take the combination therapy with estrogen and progesterone to treat the symptoms of menopause have an increased risk of breast cancer.
• Oral contraceptives – women with many known risk factors must avoid the anti baby pills with hormones.
• Radiation exposure – if you receive radiation therapy or taken X-rays at any time in your life, later it is a risk factor for breast cancer. Electricity power lines, all radiation sources including cell phones and above all the cell phone towers radiate much and women with risk factor must avoid this. In these cases a plausible scientific analysis is possible after many decades and therefore it is better to avoid.
• Food habit – it plays an important role. One must eat what her/his metabolism needs.
• Alcohol – avoid too much of alcohol
• Smoking
• Being a woman – it is the biggest risk factor. If you understand everything it is a manageable risk for many.


Symptoms of breast cancer

• A lump or thickening in the breast which feels different from the surrounding breast tissues
• Discharge from the nipple
• Inverted nipple
• Flaking or peeling of the nipple skin
• Change in the shape or size of the breast
• Changes in the breast skin
• The breast skin becomes red or orange

In many women the recent mammogram may be normal; even then, if you have the symptoms go to the doctor immediately.
If we diagnose earlier there are many good treatments to heal you.

Risk factors one can control

They include:

• Diet
• Weight
• Alcohol consumption
• Smoking
• Exposure to estrogens, the female hormones, without break as in hormone replacement therapy in post menopause for many years including xeno-estrogens
• Oral contraceptives – it is big business. There are many alternative methods
• Anxiety
• Stress
• Exercise

Learn to avoid these by changing one’s lifestyle. This is worth doing for your health.
Here I have written everything in a very simple way so that everybody could read and understand.

Cardiovascular diseases of Heart and Blood Vessels - High Blood Pressure

The normal blood pressure is fixed 140/90 mmHg in several countries, but the World Health Organization has fixed 160/95 mmHg and the values above these indicate high blood pressure. Blood pressure is an important marker of heart health and it keeps also the heart healthy.

Although hereditary factors are there with our genes, we must learn many things from the experience of the others. We must see the food habit of people who are not getting heart diseases. Lifestyle plays an important role, smoking, excessive drinking, stress, too much of exercises and eating too much leading to weight increase are also risk factors. Kidney abnormalities, the large blood vessel leaving the heart, tumour of the adrenal gland and narrowing of certain arteries are big risk factors. Fortunately our doctors can treat this well. The right food can play a decisive role for the health of the heart.

In my experience we could not diagnose the reasons of high blood pressure around 90% of the patients. This is essential hypertension. Here tension plays a vital role. Tensions with partner, children, office problems, debts, mobbing and other unsolved problems are the normal problems. Fortunately, although doctors do not fully understand the causes of high blood pressure they have developed both drug and non-drug treatments effectively.

We try to get a basic overview of the cardiovascular disease and the conditions which can affect your heart and blood vessels; understanding all the different, possible types of it can be very confusing if you are not from the medical field or other health care professions.

The various diseases which fall under cardiovascular disease include:

• high blood pressure
• heart attack
• stroke
• coronary artery disease
• heart failure

The disease of heart and blood vessels are serious problems and it is the number one killer of men and women worldwide.

Cardiovascular disease is used most often to describe the damage caused to your heart or blood vessels by atherosclerosis, is a disease which affects your arteries and arteries are blood vessels which carry oxygen and nutrients from your heart to the rest of the body, moreover heart must also get enough oxygen and other essential nutrients.

Healthy arteries are flexible, strong and elastic but in course of years, too much of pressure makes the artery walls thick and stiff, sometimes restricting the blood flow and this process is called arteriosclerosis or hardening of the arteries. So, atherosclerosis is the most common cause of cardiovascular disease and an unhealthy diet with lot of saturated fats, overweight, lack of physical activity, smoking and excessive alcohol are the culprits normally.

Not all the diseases are caused by atherosclerosis and this include congenital heart disease, heart infections, heart valve diseases or the disease of the heart muscle, known as cardiomyopathy.
