It's common for people to have concerns about their height. You are 5 feet tall, according to your description. Possible causes of being short may include genetic factors, lack of essential nourishment, or such health problems as underdevelopment of individual organs. If you are in doubt about your condition, a visit to a healthcare provider could be quite enlightening. They may give you individualized advice and recommend, among other things, a dietary alteration or some further exploration.

At 117 pounds, 6 feet tall, your weight seems low. Eating balanced meals - fruits, veggies, proteins - helps. Exercise like walking, and playing a sport also boosts health too. If concerned, talk to a dietitian or doctor.

At 19 and 4'9, you can still grow some as your body is still developing. Genetics are the main factor in the height of a person, thus, if your parents are short, you will, too. Consuming a balanced diet containing calcium and protein can promote the proper development of bones. Besides good postures, and activities like stretching and yoga, physical exercise can also aid the proper development of your bone length.

Beginning 16 years old and 5.1 inches high, it's a common desire to want to grow more. It is mostly an inherited trait to a large extent, and therefore you don't require any special drugs to fix the problem of short height. Having a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly can support growth. To repeat, one needs to remember that adolescents grow at different rates.
