Dr. Han,

What does Vitamin B-6 do for body?

Is it generally good to take multi vatamin everyday?

Thank you in advance.

I have some questions as well...
Is it safe to swallow one of those 'one a day' tablets? When I was younger, my doctor recommended me to take those...and so I began taking them. I swallowed one of those tablets...It was one of the worst experience ever;the taste was bitterly disgusting and the tablet itself was huge that it makes it so hard to ingest. It took a while for my stomach to really digest it.

Same thing as before.

Ask me any medical or surgical questions, and i will try and answer to my best ability.

And as always, a disclaimer, this is the internet! If you're in big trouble or think you are, see a real live person doctor.

No, it is not healthy to eat noodles everyday.

First: You need a balanced diet, meaning eat meat, fish, vegetables, fruits etc.

Second: Don't you think that noodles taste bad, after a while? Wouldn't your taste buds rebel?

Third: Not sure if urban legend or not, but a friend of a friend of a friend, ate noodles every day for about 3 years, and died from it.

Vitamin B6 is important for maintaining nerve functions, and is essential for the metabolism of protein by the body.

It is generally not that important to take a multi-vitamin every day as your diet should have adequate vitamins for your needs.

Having said that, in some ppl with poor diets or other absorption problems or chronic illness such as HIV/AIDS, multi-vitamin is generally perscribed.

Han, is taking a bath/shower after six p.m. in the evening, even with hot water, really not healthy? Also, is taking a bath with hot water everytime not good to skin?

Why would it not be unhealthy? You can shower at 4 a.m. and it would not be unhealthy.

Hot water is both good and bad.

Good because it cleanses your body more easily of oil and sud, and also it raises your body temperature, making you more alert.

And Bad because it tends to make your skin drier. And of course, if too hot, you get burned.

So, use lukewarm water.

Is it because your campus food is full of fat and fried stuff, and filled with soft drinks?

My advice as always is to eat sensibly. Get your proportions of vegetables, fruits more than the carbohydrates, proteins and fat and you will do fine.

Both a low-fat diet and low-carb diets have been shown to be equal at around 6 mth- 1 yr, so take your pick.

[Ding Dang]

my campus mostly with yea fat food,, it has a lot of potatoes, a lot of burgers, but it does ahve veggies, so i eat that most of time, and it has salad too, but those never change, it doens't have much variety with those. i heard only eat veggis is not good right? i heard from some ppl that it need to be balances with some meat, but why are there ppl who are vegetarians and they seem pretty healthy?

I think that's from a Japanese cartoon "Guru Guru" if I'm not mistaken.
