Around 18, most girls stop getting taller. Boys might kee­p growing until 21. However, each pe­rson is unique - you could grow more. A healthy die­t, sufficient sleep, and re­gular exercise can he­lp maximize growth potential. If worried about he­ight, discussing it with your doctor is wise.

I am 14 year old and how can I grow bigger

Male | 14

It's important to understand that during adolescence, many experience growth spurts. To support this development, a well-balanced diet including carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals is essential. Adequate sleep also plays a crucial role, as it is during this period that the body grows. Engaging in regular physical activity is equally important. By maintaining these practices, you may notice significant growth over time.

Hight issue I m only 5 ft

Female | 21

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.

I'm 23 year old, iam a woman,I couldn't able to gain weight my weight is only 39 kg ,I want to gain weight what should I do or which medicine should I take so that I can gain weight, please prescribed me a good medicine to gain weight.

Female | 23

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.

Male | 14

It's completely normal for people to be shorter or taller than their parents. Several things, including genetics and nutrition, can affect how tall someone is. Eat well, sleep enough, and keep moving. Unfortunately, there's no quick fix, but looking after yourself may help you achieve your maximum potential height.

Female | 32

Experiencing a growth spurt as an adult can be surprising and even concerning. If you've noticed an increase in height, it’s important to consult a doctor. Hormonal imbalances or bone disorders could be the cause. A physician can help identify the issue and recommend an appropriate solution.

I am 16 year old I am only 5.1 inch I want to increase my height so please tell me medicine for height growth which have no side effects

Male | 16

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.

Female | 25

The desire to grow taller is quite common at your age. Genetics are the main determinants of your height, but let's talk about things you can control. To be healthy, consume a balanced diet full of nutrients, exercise regularly, for example, swimming or stretching, and make sure to have enough rest time.

Height increasing after 20 years of age

Male | 20

It is quite normal to stop growing in height after your teenage years. Most people have usually reached full growth by the time they are twenty years old. Some rare cases may continue to produce growth hormones and grow taller even as adults. Still, this happens very infrequently. If you are worried about being too short, talk to a doctor who can help you understand better what is going on.

Height increasing capsules for increasing capsules

Female | 15

Capsules improving health are still not a thing. The fundamentals of the height physical variables are inherited from genes, most of them given by the parents. Nutrition, exercise, and sleep, on the other hand, can positively influence your growth potential. While eating a nutritious diet, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep can be good factors of your full height potential.

Male | 21

By the age of 21, your bones have mostly finished developing, and your height is largely determined by genetics. At this point, increasing your height further is unlikely. However, maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise and sufficient sleep can help you reach your maximum potential height.

Male | 17

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.

I am 19 years old and I am just 4'9 feet I want grow my height more 4 inches can u tell how I can reach 4 inches plzzz

Female | 19

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.

Sir I am 18 years old. My height is increased but my weight is not increase. I am the thinnest boy of my village. I eat lot of food but my weight is not increase what should I do

Male | 18

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.
