I just checked my blood sugar level for the first time and it's at 120. I'm a bit concerned and wondering what steps I should take to keep it under control. Are there specific things I should do or eat to manage this? Would appreciate some guidance on how to proceed.

I'm 17 and only about 5 feet tall. I'm worried if it's too late for me to grow taller. Could you suggest any specific diet or exercises that might help? Is there anything else I should be doing to maybe give my growth a boost?

Increasing height at 17 can be challenging as growth plates may have closed. However, maintaining a balanced diet rich in proteins, calcium, vitamin D, and other essential nutrients can support overall health and potentially optimize height. Incorporate foods like dairy products, eggs, lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Regular exercise, especially stretching and strength training exercises, can help improve posture and may have a positive impact on your height. Activities like swimming, cycling, yoga, and Pilates can also be beneficial. Additionally, ensuring proper sleep, staying hydrated, and avoiding habits like smoking and excessive caffeine intake are important for overall health and potential growth optimization.
