At 19 and 4'9, you can still grow some as your body is still developing. Genetics are the main factor in the height of a person, thus, if your parents are short, you will, too. Consuming a balanced diet containing calcium and protein can promote the proper development of bones. Besides good postures, and activities like stretching and yoga, physical exercise can also aid the proper development of your bone length.

Getting your height up to 170cm is not an easy process. Genetics is the main factor in determining human height. Following a healthy diet, enough rest if possible, and regular exercise are the ways of helping you to reach your genetic height potential.

Female | 32

Experiencing a growth spurt as an adult can be surprising and even concerning. If you've noticed an increase in height, it’s important to consult a doctor. Hormonal imbalances or bone disorders could be the cause. A physician can help identify the issue and recommend an appropriate solution.

I am a 14 year old male and i am confused am i going through puberty or ended it because they say that when height is stopped growing ouberty ends and i am already 3 inches taller than my father at this age and when i started puberty around 12 my height was almost same as my father so how when is it going ti end? I have noticed little bit height growth in the past few months possibly 1 cm

Male | 14

Hello! It seems you’re worried about how tall you will get and when puberty will end. It’s natural to feel insecure. Puberty normally stops around 18 for boys when they’ve had all the major growth spurts that can make them taller than ever before. If you’ve only started noticing yourself growing in height lately then this might mean your body is still changing because of puberty. Keep eating well, sleeping enough and exercising so your growth can be supported!

I'm 23 year old, iam a woman,I couldn't able to gain weight my weight is only 39 kg ,I want to gain weight what should I do or which medicine should I take so that I can gain weight, please prescribed me a good medicine to gain weight.

Female | 23

One reason for your challenges in gaining weight might be a high metabolism, stress, a bad diet, or a health issue. It is ideal to visit a doctor to determine the root of the problem. They will suggest a dietitian, who would be able to help you find ways to consume healthy foods that will help you in increasing your weight on a gradual basis. Medicines are generally not recommended for weight maintenance. Rather than only thinking about weight goals, concentrate on the intake of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and protein which contribute to weight strengthening and may enhance it. Lean gaining should be looked at from a healthy perspective, and the best way forward is the help of health professionals.

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.

By the age of 21, your bones have mostly finished developing, and your height is largely determined by genetics. At this point, increasing your height further is unlikely. However, maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise and sufficient sleep can help you reach your maximum potential height.

Height increasing after 20 years of age

Male | 20

It is quite normal to stop growing in height after your teenage years. Most people have usually reached full growth by the time they are twenty years old. Some rare cases may continue to produce growth hormones and grow taller even as adults. Still, this happens very infrequently. If you are worried about being too short, talk to a doctor who can help you understand better what is going on.

Height increasing capsules for increasing capsules

Female | 15

Capsules improving health are still not a thing. The fundamentals of the height physical variables are inherited from genes, most of them given by the parents. Nutrition, exercise, and sleep, on the other hand, can positively influence your growth potential. While eating a nutritious diet, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep can be good factors of your full height potential.
