Is coffee bad for hypothyroidism?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Research shows that levothyroxine absorption is decreased if coffee is consumed within an hour of taking it. Hence, it is suggestable to wait at least 60 minutes after taking the levothyroxine to drink your coffee.

I'm really concerned about my mom's health. About a year ago, she had some breathing issues, so we went to the nearby hospital. The doctors ran a bunch of heart-related tests like an ECG and a 2D echo, but everything came back normal. Then they discovered she has hypothyroidism and prescribed some medication for that. They also recommended she take Prolomet XL 50 mg. I'm just wondering, is it really necessary for her to be on that medication too? Can we safely stop giving her the Prolomet XL?

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.
