I'm 19 and a half years old and I'm about 5 feet 7 inches tall. I'm really curious about any potential height growth I could expect by the time I'm 21, especially with exercise and a proper diet. I've heard some people talk about doing setups while sticking to a cart leg - is that something that's good or bad for height growth? Also, I've been told that I might only gain about half an inch to maybe 2 inches, but that's rare. Is there any truth to that? I just want to know what I can realistically expect.

So, while your body may not grow significantly taller after 19.5 years, adopting a healthy lifestyle with good posture practices and exercises can help you reach your full potential and improve your overall body alignment.

View allI've been dealing with a thyroid problem and have been taking Thyrox 125 mg, but recently I heard about this drug called Thyrogear, which some say might be better. I'm curious if transitioning to Thyrogear 125 mg could be beneficial for managing my thyroid issue. What do you think?
Thyrox 125 mg is a commonly prescribed medication for thyroid disorders. Thyrogear is also a thyroid medication that contains the same active ingredient as Thyrox, which is Levothyroxine. Both Thyrox and Thyrogear are effective in treating thyroid problems. If you are considering switching to Thyrogear 125 mg, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and guidance on the dosage adjustment.

To lower your fasting blood sugar from 108-115 to the 90s without medication, focus on these lifestyle modifications: increase aerobic exercise durationintensity (aim for 150 minutesweek), incorporate strength training (2-3 timesweek), lose weight if needed (aim for 5-10% reduction), adopt a balanced diet with whole, unprocessed foods, increase fiber intake (aim for 25-30 gramsday), drink plenty of water, manage stress through yoga or meditation, and aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night; monitor your progress
