A member asked:

I am 19 years old and 5 feet 6 inches in height and 60 kg weight.what should i do to increase my height? plzz help me!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to do at 19 yrs: Most people reach their maximum height in their late teens. Without nutritional problems or chronic childhood illnesses, height is largely based on genetics and parental heights. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much a person nor his doctor can do to increase height. In rare cases, growth hormone is approved for use in younger, extremely short kids.
