Congratulations on taking the first step towards your weight loss journey!

*Ideal Weight for Your Height:*
For a 5'2" (157 cm) person, a healthy weight range is:

- For women: 49-58 kg (108-128 lbs)
- For men: 54-63 kg (119-139 lbs)

*Weight Loss Goal:*
Aiming to lose 10 kg is achievable. Here's a suggested plan:

1. *Caloric deficit:* Reduce daily caloric intake by 500-750 calories to promote weight loss.
2. *Diet:* Focus on whole, unprocessed foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid sugary drinks, fast food, and processed snacks.
3. *Physical activity:* Aim for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise (brisk walking, cycling, swimming) or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise (running, HIIT) per week.
4. *Portion control:* Eat smaller, frequent meals to boost metabolism and control hunger.
5. *Stay hydrated:* Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
6. *Sleep:* Ensure 7-8 hours of sleep per night to support weight regulation.
7. *Consult a doctor or a registered dietitian:* Get personalized guidance and support to help you achieve your weight loss goal.

Remember, losing weight too quickly is not healthy. Aim for a sustainable weight loss of 0.5-1 kg per week.

Question 5

I'm 52 and pretty short compared to the rest of my tall family, except for my dad's mom. I'm wondering if there are natural ways to increase my height without resorting to unnecessary medicines, or if it's just in my genes. Any advice?

Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before switching or using alternative treatments.
