View allI'm noticing that my body always feels warm and seems to emit heat, even though I don't have a fever. My urine is also warm. This has been going on for quite a while. Any ideas on what might be causing this or how I can address it would be really appreciated. I've been diagnosed with low vitamin D and B12 levels and am currently taking supplements for those.
Your persistent bodily warmth, heat emission, and warm urine without fever could be related to various factors, including hyperthyroidism, hormonal imbalances, or increased metabolism, and it's good that you're addressing low vitamin D and B12 levels, but consider consulting an endocrinologist to rule out underlying conditions, and in the meantime, stay hydrated, avoid spicy foods, and dress comfortably to manage your body temperature.

I'm 24 years old and my height is 5.7. I'm really curious to know if it's still possible for me to grow taller at this age. If there's a way to increase my height, could you please explain how it might be possible?
At 24, your growth plates have likely closed, making natural height increase unlikely

Could you advise on the correct dosage of vitamin D I should be taking and how often I need to take it? I want to make sure I'm doing it right.
The recommended dose of vitamin D varies depending on age, deficiency level, and health status; generally, 600-800 IUday is recommended for adults, 1,000-2,000 IUday for deficient individuals, and 2,000-5,000 IUday for severe deficiencies; take vitamin D supplements with a fatty meal, preferably breakfast, and consider the following dosing schedules: - Mild deficiency: 600-800 IUday for 1-3 months - Moderate deficiency: 1,000-2,000 IUday for 3-6 months - Severe deficiency: 2,000-5,000 IUday for 6-12 months
