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.

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 am very skinny my age is 29 and my weight is just 45 kg.Please tell me about some medicine for weight gain
Male | 20
Being extremely thin at 29 years old might worry you. Your fast metabolism could burn calories quickly. Or, you may not consume enough food. Health problems can also affect weight. To gain pounds, eat calorie-rich foods like nuts, avocados, nut butter. Work with a nutritionist. They'll make a meal plan just for gaining weight. Weight gain needs to happen slowly and healthily.

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 | 24
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.

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.

I am 25 years old boy i want to gain my weight. My weight is only 48kg kindly suggest to me some medicine to gain weight.
Male | 25
Yes, of course, losing the weight you want is possible but the method that you are going to use is not the best idea. Underweight can be attributed to various factors such as high metabolism, an imbalanced diet, and certain diseases. For instead, replace your present food habits with the food items such as fruits, vegetables, lean meat, and whole grains. Also, don't forget about physical activity: it is also a good way to put on muscles. If any ambiguities arise do not hesitate to consult the dietitian to receive the exclusive instructions for your case.

Male | 20
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.

I am 18 year old .abd I am doing my graduation but still my height is 5.2 fit how can I increase my height
Male | 18
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.

Hi doctor i am A 14 year old male who is confused about he’s going through puberty or not basically my father is 3 inches shorter than I am already and I am 14. My puberty started when I was around 12 and that age I was about the same as as my father, so I am confused that maybe my height has stopped growing and might might stop and I might have grown like maybe one centimeter in the past few months so I’m confused about my height growth. I’m currently 5 foot 10 and my father is 5 foot seven so when is my puberty going to end? Experienced about armpit hair three months ago and they are growinf very slowly like 1cm in 3 months and only some hair war 1cm and some were even half cm small facial hair little bit here on my chin about three months ago, and it isn’t growing at all since that time.
Male | 14
It's normal to feel confused about growth during puberty. Since you're 14 and already taller than your father, your height can still increase as puberty continues into late teens. The slow growth of armpit and facial hair is also normal. For personalized advice, I recommend visiting an endocrinologist, who specializes in growth and puberty-related issues.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Being 160 cm is regular for lots of people. But if it concerns you, we can discuss it. Your height may contribute if you have physical troubles like backaches or joint issues. Remember, genes greatly influence how tall we grow. Eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly, and sleeping enough can help maximize your height potential. Seeing a doctor for a check-up can provide more clarity if you're worried.
