Patient discussion about provider

Q. Does it provide me with good results and if so, how? I have been advised to take milk as a meal before practice. Does it provide me with good results and if so, how?

A. Unless and until an athlete has an allergy to milk or is lactose intolerant, there is no reason to avoid skim milk. These are an excellent source of both carbohydrate and protein with very little or no fat. Having 8 ounces of skim or 1% milk or yogurt up to 2 hours before a competitive event can even help boost blood sugar (forms of carbohydrate) for the early minutes of the competition. The protein will kick in with additional fuel a little later.

Q. I love my wife and kindly request you to provide me some suggestions. Hello, My wife is pregnant and is in the second month. I have been noticing that she has been vomiting every night and to add to my worry, I have noticed some blood smell and red color on her vomited residue. I am not sure the reason for this kind of condition….something going wrong…….she does not even feel weak and do not want to consult the doctor. She just says that she is normal..........…I love my wife and kindly request you to provide me some suggestions.

A. Get her to the hospital pronto to rule everything out if its minor!
There may be an underlying problem that really needs to be checked out! GO!

3. What is the percentage of calories that come from fat in the entire bag?
120 calories from fat ÷ 360 calories = 33%

13 g Carbohydrates x 4 calories = 52 calories
