Balanced Diet: Include garlic for flavor and potential benefits, but do not replace prescribed treatments. c. Monitor Blood Sugar: Regular checks are important to assess the impact of dietary changes.

Summary:

Regular and consistent diet is most important, with no feasts and fasts. Split your diet into 3-4 meals. Avoid sugar and sugar containing foods, and fried foods. Avoid fats (butter, oil, malai) and fat rich foods (puri, paratha, chat, namkeen etc.) Choose healthy carbohydrates, such as fruit, vegetables, whole grains, beans, and low-fat milk, as part of your diabetes meal plan.

I'm a 24-year-old woman, and I'm about 5 feet tall. I'm really hoping to add a little extra height, maybe even 2 inches if possible. I've heard exercise might help, but I'm curious if there are any healthy alternatives. My parents aren't very tall either, so I feel like this might be a genetic issue. Is there any chance for growth at 24, or am I out of luck? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
