Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 18 years old, and I feel like I am slightly overweight. I am going on a trek next month and want to get fit for it. I am planning to gain my stamina by jogging and exercising, and I wanted to ask what I should do other than this to regain my fitness. Can you please suggest me a proper diet?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

No need to worry about your weight as your BMI (body mass index) is normal. Your plan to increase your stamina with jogging and exercise is good. You can increase protein intake and good fluids in a day. This will help to improve overall health. You need to consult a nutritionist for a customized diet plan, as the diet plan must be tailored and made for each person based on their requirements.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
