Worrying about your height at 20 is normal. If you feel shorter than friends, here are the facts: Genes mainly determine height. But poor diet, lack of sleep, or health issues can also affect it. You might notice others being taller, making you self-conscious. Eating nutritious food, getting enough rest, and exercising can help maximize height potential.

At 18, your bones are nearly done growing, so a significant increase in height is unlikely. However, focusing on good nutrition, regular exercise, and proper posture can help you make the most of your height. It's also a good idea to consult an endocrinologist to check if everything is okay with your growth hormones.

One reason for your challenges in gaining weight might be a high metabolism, stress, a bad diet, or a health issue. It is ideal to visit a doctor to determine the root of the problem. They will suggest a dietitian, who would be able to help you find ways to consume healthy foods that will help you in increasing your weight on a gradual basis. Medicines are generally not recommended for weight maintenance. Rather than only thinking about weight goals, concentrate on the intake of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and protein which contribute to weight strengthening and may enhance it. Lean gaining should be looked at from a healthy perspective, and the best way forward is the help of health professionals.

Being underweight can leave you feeling tired, with weak muscles and low immunity. A common reason for this is not getting enough vital nutrients from your food. To gain weight healthily, increase your calorie intake from healthy sources such as fruits, vegetables, proteins, and whole grains. However, it's important to consult a dietitian for personalized guidance.

If you eat a lot but still can’t gain weight, maybe you have a high metabolism. But sometimes hyperthyroidism or other medical conditions can do that too. You should see a doctor to find out what’s going on. Then they can give you some advice and help with that.
