5 Things That Are Vitally Important But Your Doctor Won't Tell You

Even though doctors provide essential medical advice, some important things may not always be highlighted. This includes prioritizing mental health, managing stress and having a balanced lifestyle. To achieve holistic health management that goes beyond medical treatment, patients must actively participate in conversations related to dietary patterns, emotional well-being, and preventive care.

Ayurvedic Trainer and Digestive Specialist Dr. Dimples tell some basic but important Things that your doctor may not tell you.

1. “If diet is right, there is no need for medicine. But if your diet is wrong, then medicine is of no use.”

Medication alone is insufficient to treat and reverse lifestyle diseases and chronic conditions such as thyroid, diabetes, PCOS, gynecological and gastrointestinal problems. It is imperative to address the root causes of your ailments, including your diet and lifestyle choices. It may help your symptoms as long as you take the medicine, but it cannot guarantee that the illness or symptoms will not recur.

It is imperative that you deal with the factors that trigger your disease and get rid of the foods that trigger it. You can consult a food science and nutrition expert like an Ayurveda or naturopathic health coach and follow a specified strict diet plan in addition to your prescription medications and therapy.

2. One man’s nutrition is another man’s poison

Since no two people are the same, no diet can be the same. Ectomorph (Vata Prakriti), Endomorph (Kapha Prakriti), and Mesomorph (Pitta Prakriti) are the three distinct body types. Endomorph needs to eat less carbohydrates and proteins, more vegetables and less sweet, sour, salty, fried food. They also have to eat more bitter, astringent and pungent foods.

On the other hand, an ectomorph (Vata Prakriti) needs to eat less protein and vegetables and more carbohydrates. They need to eat less bitter, astringent and pungent food and more sweet, sour, salty and healthy fats and less oily food. Your diet should be tailored to your own biological make-up and body type, taking into account your age, health goals, symptoms, genetic makeup and topography of the area.

3. Medicines may have side effects

All medicines are strong and can cause adverse reactions depending on how long they are used, how they are combined with other medicines and how they are taken with food. A warning label, such as “Long-term consumption is harmful to the liver,” is usually attached to the drug.

For example, the drug paracetamol can cause the following side effects: fatigue, shortness of breath, blue lips and fingers, anemia (low red blood cell count), liver and kidney damage, heart disease and stroke in cases of high blood pressure Source Healthdirect.gov.au is Potential adverse effects of birth control pills include: bleeding while taking the active medication, often known as breakthrough bleeding or spotting, which is more prevalent with extended-cycle or continuous-dosing pills; sensitive breast, Bloating, headache, nausea and high blood pressure. (Refer to Mayo Clinic).

Consult your doctor to make sure you are fully aware of any things effects you should be aware of while taking your medication.

4. Do NOT consume alcohol or smoke during medication

No, restricted drinking, social drinking or moderate drinking does not exist. No matter how much is consumed, alcohol remains alcohol in your system. In addition to internal bleeding, heart-related problems, difficulty breathing, vomiting, headache, insomnia, fainting, lack of coordination, acid reflux, burning and other symptoms, mixing alcohol with medicines can cause serious adverse effects. When you take medicine, remember that you are doing it to cure a disease or condition.

In addition to interfering with medication and the healing process, alcohol reduces your body’s ability to repair, heal, and rejuvenate. Remember that you cannot take poison (alcohol) in moderation and hope to be cured by a doctor. You will always be the creator of your own health and illness because you are in control.

5. Packaged and processed foods feed your diseases, not your health

As I describe in my book FMCG corporations profit from your addiction to their food. This leads them to include coloring agents, flavorings that have addictive potential, preservatives to increase shelf life for things effects and logistical purposes. These preservatives can seriously disrupt your gut flora and general health if left in your stomach for longer than the equivalent of six to twelve months on the shelf. Eat locally grown and seasonal foods, as well as meals prepared with fresh ingredients, to ensure your quality of life.
