I'm curious if there are any home remedies to help increase height after turning 20. My friend is 56 inches tall and would love to gain a bit more height. Also, does going to the gym actually make you shorter? He's been working out in a gym for a year now. Any tips or advice would be super helpful!

I've been feeling really tired, sleepy, and even a bit down lately. My recent blood tests showed my vitamin D level is at 14.34 and my B12 is at 164. Could these low levels be the reason for how I'm feeling? What should I do about it?

Missing the 3rd shot and taking it later with the 4th shot might slightly increase the risk of rabies, but the overall risk is still low. The prompt washing of the wound with soap and immediate initiation of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) reduced the risk. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends completing the full PEP course, even if delayed. Monitor yourself for any symptoms of rabies, such as fever, headache, or numbness, for the next few weeks. Consult your doctor for guidance and reassurance.
