Can anyone give me info on healthy eating?

Q: I am trying my hardest to get me and my family into healthy eating routine but I am not sure if I am doing it right for our health needs. I am on several medications that have the risk of weight gain and I also need to lower my cholesterol level by lets just say major amounts.I am now at the highest weight I have ever been even when I was pregenate. I am not happy with how I look at this time and I have never been one to worry about my looks. I think it is more my worry about my health. My husband needs to lose considerable weight as well. I feel that his weight has affected his back, he has severe back pain. I think it has also caused him to develop sleep apnea but it has not been diagnosed yet. My daughter is in athletics and the coaches need her to gain a little weight and put on some muscle mass. She eats all of the time but never gains weight. She eats mostly fruits and veggies but does eat a little meat. My son is very small for his age and is very thin. He also eats quite a bit but is also a little picky. He needs to gain weight and muscle mass for sports as well. Now that I have covered our basic indivdual needs here are my main questions. 1. What is the proper calorie breakdown…Protein, Carbs, Fats? 2. What are some foods that are high in Protein but lower in fats and Cholesterol? (I can not eat eggs or any type of fish) 3. I have been tracking my foods and activities on Livestrong.com and it takes your weight and activity level to show how many calories you need to eat to meet your loss goal. So does that mean I have to eat all of the calories? ( I have been eating how I feel is healthy but I have not been able to eat as many calories as it shows. It seems I would be eating all the time.) 4. What are the best veggies and fruits to eat? 5. How can I hide the veggies that my kids won’t eat and have the nutrients still intact? 6. My kid and I have been eating a lot of fruits! Is that O.K.? Well I guess that about covers all the questions at this time and I appreciate anyone who takes the time to give me help with attaining my goals for me and my family to get healthier. Thank you all.P.S. The reason I am so concerned is that I lost both of my parents to heart disease when I was only a young teenager and I do not ever put my kids through the pain I have lives with all these years. Also I am unable to join a gym at this time so all of my exercise will be done at home with walking, stability ball, tennsion bands, and a few exercise videos.

A: http://www.mypyramid.gov/This is a great website to start with. It will help you figure out what is right for everyone. Just remember your kids need a well balanced meal and dont play that game with the sports that this one needs to gain this and lose that. Sports can be very dangerous to a kid’s heart especially if for instance a boy has to gain for football and then lose for wrestling. Teach your kids to eat well for life so its a life long habit and they are not trying to figure out what you are now. Fruit is great but just remember too much of anything without balance isnt good either. Dark green leafy veggies…use dark varieties of lettuce and make a salad with other veggies and fruits and nuts. Make casseroles to hide the veggies with other meats and ingredients. Fortunately my kids love the veggies…its me that has to hold my nose when I eat them…lol. The disease process is scary it is amazing how all the major dieseases like stroke, heart attack, diabetes, ect. all connect. Good luck. Hope this helped a little.

is this a symptoms of heart disease? Shall i consult to a cardiologist?

Q: Sometimes i feel a heavy feeling in my chest, and when I am lying on my bed, I feel like I’m drowning. I also feel a prickling sensation inside my chest. This happens to me for sometime now, and as i recall, it almost 5 months ago when i started to feel it.Another thing, a year ago I was confined at the hospital due to mild dehydration. They do some test on me like ECG, and they said i have a heart problem. I consult the result of the test to a cardiologist and he said the same thing that i have a heart problem. A month after that, I undergo another test called 2-D echo, and I consult the result to another cardiologist and she says that I am fine and do not have any heart problem. So I feel relieve after hearing that news. But a few months after that I feel such feeling- a heavy feeling in my chest and prickling sensation. That was the first time I’ve experienced it. So now I am confused which doctor/ cardiologist is telling the truth. Background info- my grandfather and cousin has a heart disease. I know it’s possible that i have it too.I don’t know which of the two carddiologist I’m going to believe. Now I’m confused and I don’t know if I’ll need to consult to another cardiologist and believe in another result. Please give me some advice, tell me what to do.i’ll tell you some more details. I’m 20 years old, male, weighing 125 pounds, my heigt is 5’7. I’m not that thin and not that fat, so i can say I’m just an ordinary guy with ordinary body built. I don’t drink alcoholic beverages or smoke cigar, in short I don’t have vices. I don’t worked out, the excercise I do is walking every morning when going to school. I admit it I am phisically weak. How can I say that? There’s one situation that happened to me that made me said that. A few eeks ago, I was asked by my professor to bring one school equipment, OHP or overhead projector. I brought it up to the fourth floor of our school, just using the stairs. i carried it twice, before the start of the class, and after the class. After that, I feel very weak, and exhausted. I catch up for my breath for a while like i can’t breathe, and my chest ache for a second, and my whole body is shaking, like I’m collapsing. But i was not confined at the hospital that day. Just a clarification, I don’t have an asthma.

A: Consult the doctor who said that there is a heart problem, in my experience at your age the above symptoms are pointing to cardiac problem. Better check it out with him OK. Have the matter sorted out as early as possible, maybe you are in a curable stage, take the chance of a lifetime.
