A member asked:

I'm 16&1/2 years old and my height is 5ft iwant to increase my height to at least 5" 4 can any thing could help me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nutrition/rest: I would not expect 4 inches if you are 16 unless you entered puberty late.Balanced nutrition, proper rest & exercise can support reaching your height potential.There is no med, exercise,stretches,etc that can make you taller than your genes allow.Most females stop by 3 yrs after first menses.The hormones that support menses accelerate closure of the growth centers.When closed you are finished.
