Dr. Chheda – Does drinking milk really cause a cold or cough or get a or cause a cold or a cough to get worse? Medically speaking, no, not really. Whole milk just because it’s thick can make you feel like you’ve got a little bit extra mucus inside. Now if you want to stop drinking milk during a colder cough, that’s perfectly fine. But realize for infants and young toddlers milk may be their only source of nutrition and source of hydration. So I really don’t recommend stopping milk during a cold or a cough, because I don’t want them to lose out on any nutrition nor do I want them to get dehydrated. So if your child has a cold or a cough, and their main source of nutrition is milk, continue the milk it’s perfectly fine. Transcriptions from AI and may not be 100% accurate

Dr. Chheda – We don’t talk about contentment much. We’re always trying to chase happiness and joy. Well, there is something to say about happiness. But think about your typical day. 90% of your day is contentment. It’s normal. It’s the getting up, going to school, going to work coming home eating. It’s normal. It’s contentment. 5% of the time.

Dr. Chheda – What are these bumps on my upper arm? It’s a form of dry skin called keratosis Polaris. And 50% of the population has keratosis Polaris. It can affect the cheeks, the upper arms and the upper thighs. There’s really nothing much to do about it. It feels like bumpy skin at times. Kids rarely complain about it as they grew up to be more teenagers or adults. That rough and bumpy feeling is a little unpleasant. I found the best thing to do is Cerave S A cream. The SA stands for salicylic acid and it actually helps smooth the bumps out. I’ve been using it for a while and now my skin is smooth. I can still see them, but I don’t feel them as much

Dr. Chheda – I’m outside taking a walk right now after lunch. Studies have shown that a 10 minute walk after a meal can actually help with the way your body processes food and can reduce your overall blood sugar levels. And I mean, it works in elementary school. A lot of the kids have recess after lunch, so they get to run around a little bit, which is great. By the time they get to middle high school, and even as adults, they don’t get raises as much anymore. So try to make it a habit of walking after dinner. The weather’s getting warmer, the trees are blooming, and that 10 minute walk may turn into a 20, 30 minute walk and it’ll help incorporate exercise into your routine can help to reduce your blood sugar.
