A member asked:

I want to increase my height from 5 foot 5 inch to 5 foot 10 inches without medicine please guide me my age is 30 year old.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sorry...: Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but growing 5 inches at 30 years of age isn't going to happen. Your growth plates (which lead to bone growth) closed likely a decade ago. Learn to love yourself as you are - height is nothing but a number.
