At 16, it's understandable to wish for a taller stature. Growth is influenced by genetics, nutrition, and overall health. While you might explore various options, it's vital to focus on a balanced diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein, which support bone health. Unfortunately, there’s no specific medicine to guarantee an increase in height. I recommend consulting a healthcare professional who can guide you through personalized strategies and check your growth potential based on your unique situation.

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.

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.

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.

I'm 19 about height growth need to talk
Male | 19
When you turn 19, the things that you eat and the genes of your parents are some things to be careful about because these factors are among the things that are influencing your growth in height. If height is a primary concern for you, you should first check whether your development is slow or not and if you are experiencing problems like feeling unusual among others. Make sure you eat, in a balanced way, food abundant with minerals and vitamins, as this is absolutely crucial for growth in a natural progression. On top of these, regular exercise and an ample sleep time are also key factors that are beneficial for good health. If you have a specific issue, I would rather advise you to talk to a doctor who will give you individualized pieces of advice and check for other causes. Certainly, the effort you have made in finding information is really commendable!

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.

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.

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.

I am a 14 year old male and i am confused am i going through puberty or ended it because they say that when height is stopped growing ouberty ends and i am already 3 inches taller than my father at this age and when i started puberty around 12 my height was almost same as my father so how when is it going ti end? I have noticed little bit height growth in the past few months possibly 1 cm
Male | 14
Hello! It seems you’re worried about how tall you will get and when puberty will end. It’s natural to feel insecure. Puberty normally stops around 18 for boys when they’ve had all the major growth spurts that can make them taller than ever before. If you’ve only started noticing yourself growing in height lately then this might mean your body is still changing because of puberty. Keep eating well, sleeping enough and exercising so your growth can be supported!

Hello sir I'm kazmi khan age 24 height 5.9 inch and weight 58kg please say how to increase weight
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.

how can i get longer in height i am 23 years old and i want to increase my height what can i do please help me
Male | 23
At 23 years old, it's unlikely you'll see a significant height increase since growth plates generally close after puberty. You should consult an endocrinologist to discuss any potential growth issues. Additionally, focusing on a balanced diet, regular exercise, and good posture may help you make the most of your height.

I had done masturbation last week my weight is 50kg age is 18 and my height is short what to do to increase body weight and height
Male | 18
At your age, a good and regular diet mechanism is the most important in formulation and weight enhancement. Concentrate on eating foods that are good for you. This is a process that involves more than one part. Try eggs and lean meats apart from whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Besides, working through the strength training process is crucial too. First, make sure you consume enough energy to carry out the activities. Bear in mind that the kind of bones you get also largely depends on the genes that you inherit from your parents, and it’s these healthy habits that will take you to your highest divide.

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.

What is the good weight to maintain when my height is 5"11' ?
Male | 25
Keep a weight of 63 to 83 kilos if you are 5"11' tall. Health issues are likely to crop up when a person is outside of this range. Use of excess weight may be the reason for tiredness, joint pain, and high blood pressure. Causes could be less exercise and bad dietary choices. To the point, the good way is to eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly to be able to stay within the healthy weight range.

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.
