Hello.sir how can i increase my height i am 17 years old.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What will be will be: Most people reach their maximum height in their late teens. Without nutritional problems or chronic childhood illnesses, height is largely based on genetics. If one is in his late-teens and growth has stopped, he won't grow taller. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy during his younger growing years, there's not much a person or his doctor can do to increase height.
