Physical exercise lowers blood glucose levels and blood pressure, improves blood flow, burns extra calories so you can keep your weight down if needed, improves your mood, can prevent falls and improve memory in older adults, may help you sleep better. Start exercising after speaking to a doctor, start slowly and increase. Few types are walking briskly or hiking, climbing stairs, swimming or a water-aerobics class, dancing, riding a bicycle or a stationary bicycle, taking an exercise class, playing basketball, tennis, or other sports

My wife isn't pregnant but her prolactin levels are high around 230. I'm really worried because I've heard high prolactin could mean a brain tumor. Does she need surgery or any specific treatment? What could be causing this?

I'm really looking to increase my height at 26 years old. At the moment, I'm 5'6" and I'd love to reach around 5'9" or 5'10". I've heard about HGH supplements like L-arginine or L-lysinedo these actually work for someone my age? If not, are there any other supplements you might recommend for height growth? I stay active with yoga, running, stretching, and jumping. Would love your advice!

Unfortunately, at the age of 26, your growth plates have likely fused, making it very difficult to increase height through supplements or exercises. HGH supplements like l-arginine or l-lysine may not significantly impact your height at this stage. However, you can consider taking calcium and vitamin D supplements to maintain bone health. Additionally, a balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals can support overall health and potentially optimize your height potential.

I've been taking Letrozole and CCQ as part of my cycle monitoring, and recently had a few hcg injections because my follicles weren't rupturing as expected. They finally ruptured on the 15th day. Then I took Duphaston from the 15th to the 25th day, but now it's Day 31 and I still haven't gotten my period. Is there a chance I could be pregnant this time? On my last cycle, I had no follicles and took Duphaston from the 19th day, getting my period on Day 33. What do you think?
