How can I increase my height at 18?

Patient's Query

I am 18 year old .abd I am doing my graduation but still my height is 5.2 fit how can I increase my height

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

At 18, your bones are nearly done growing, so a significant increase in height is unlikely. However, focusing on good nutrition, regular exercise, and proper posture can help you make the most of your height. It's also a good idea to consult an endocrinologist to check if everything is okay with your growth hormones.

What is the good weight to maintain when my height is 5"11' ?

Male | 25

Keep a weight of 63 to 83 kilos if you are 5"11' tall. Health issues are likely to crop up when a person is outside of this range. Use of excess weight may be the reason for tiredness, joint pain, and high blood pressure. Causes could be less exercise and bad dietary choices. To the point, the good way is to eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly to be able to stay within the healthy weight range.

I'm 19 about height growth need to talk

Male | 19

When you turn 19, the things that you eat and the genes of your parents are some things to be careful about because these factors are among the things that are influencing your growth in height. If height is a primary concern for you, you should first check whether your development is slow or not and if you are experiencing problems like feeling unusual among others. Make sure you eat, in a balanced way, food abundant with minerals and vitamins, as this is absolutely crucial for growth in a natural progression. On top of these, regular exercise and an ample sleep time are also key factors that are beneficial for good health. If you have a specific issue, I would rather advise you to talk to a doctor who will give you individualized pieces of advice and check for other causes. Certainly, the effort you have made in finding information is really commendable!

Male | 23

At 23 years old, it's unlikely you'll see a significant height increase since growth plates generally close after puberty. You should consult an endocrinologist to discuss any potential growth issues. Additionally, focusing on a balanced diet, regular exercise, and good posture may help you make the most of your height.

Male | 16

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.
