Chicken is a moderate-purine food, which means it can contribute to uric acid production in the body. However, the impact is relatively mild compared to high-purine foods like organ meats, seafood, and beer. To put things into perspective: - 3 ounces (85g) of cooked chicken contain about 150-200 mg of purines. - The recommended daily purine intake for individuals with gout or high uric acid is around 100-150 mg. If you're concerned about uric acid, consider these tips: 1. *Moderation is key*: Enjoy chicken in moderation (1-2 servings a week). 2. *Balance your diet*: Pair chicken with low-purine foods like vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy. 3. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help flush out uric acid. You don't necessarily need to stop eating chicken entirely, Manas. Just be mindful of your overall diet and purine intake.

I'm a 23-year-old guy, standing at 5'9.5". I'm really interested in knowing if I can still increase my height at this age. Could you give me some advice on this?
Growth plates in the bones of the human body close by the age of 18-21 years (for males). After these growth plates close, it is generally not possible to increase height through natural methods or medical intervention like growth hormone therapy. You may try to improve posture or focus on stretching and yoga in order to increase your perceived height.
