Almonds and almond milk are good options for people with diabetes. Whole almond nuts, in particular, appear to provide several benefits, including superior blood sugar control, better weight management, and improved heart health. They are also a great source of magnesium.

I'm a 17-year-old guy and my height is 5'6". It hasn't really gone up much in the last couple of years and I'm eager to grow taller. What kind of things could I do to help increase my height?

To increase your height at 17 years old, it's important to focus on proper nutrition and exercise. Make sure you are getting enough calcium and vitamin D for bone health. Additionally, engaging in regular physical activity, especially exercises that focus on stretching and lengthening the spine, can be beneficial. You can also consider taking a multivitamin supplement to ensure you are getting all the necessary nutrients for growth. However, it's important to remember that genetics play a significant role in determining height, so it's not guaranteed that you will grow taller.
