Can I Still Increase Height After 20?
Height increasing after 20 years of age
Dr. Babita Goel

Answered on 9th July '24
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.

How can I safely grow taller at 16?
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

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.

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.

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.

How can I grow taller at 14?

Answered on 4th June '24
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.

Answered on 25th May '24
The thing is though that how tall we become mainly depends on the genes we inherit from our parents. If you are still young and growing, it may be possible for you to maximize your height by ensuring that you sleep well, and eat foods rich in calcium and proteins while also doing exercises regularly.

How can I gain weight effectively at 25?
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.

Answered on 25th May '24
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.

Is my height increase a sign of puberty ending?
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

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!

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.

Is 117-Pound Weight at 6ft Natural at 17?
Im 17 and im 117 pounds and im 6ft, is that natural?
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
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.
