I'm 18 years old, 165 cm tall, and weigh 76 kg. Really want to increase my height is it still possible at my age? What kind of exercises or diet would help?

I'm a bit worried about my mom since she's diabetic. If she ever needs it, can she take ORS safely without any issues? With everything so uncertain these days, I'm just trying to be cautious.

Yes, it is generally safe for your mother to take ORS if needed, as it helps to rehydrate and replenish lost electrolytes. However, since she is diabetic, it's important to choose an ORS with low sugar content and monitor her blood sugar levels closely during use. Always consult her doctor for personalized advice.
