8 glasses of water per day add up to about 2 liters of water (67 ounces or just over half a gallon). As people with diabetes, drinking enough water is especially crucial. Even a little dehydration during the day (which is easier than we realize) can impact our blood sugars.

I'm 17 years old and I've been masturbating almost every day since I was 15. I'm really curious if this habit could be causing an increase in my prolactin levels, which I heard might lower testosterone. Could this affect my beard growth?

Masturbation itself doesn't significantly affect prolactin or testosterone levels in a way that would impact beard growth. However, excessive or compulsive behaviors may affect your overall hormonal balance, which could indirectly influence things like energy levels or hair growth. If youre concerned, its always a good idea to talk to a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

I'm 21 and I've been dealing with gynecomastia since I was in school. I've tried going to the gym, hoping it would help, but I still don't feel confident enough to tackle strength exercises. Can you provide any advice on how to get rid of this? I'm really determined to address it now and just want to have a normal-looking chest. Any suggestions on medications, diet plans, or if I should see a doctor would be really appreciated. This situation is just so frustrating.
