Height issue
Hello Doc.,
I am 17 Years old male,I would be having swimming classes after a few days,so what diet should I follow to increase 2-3 inches of my height. Also when I had consulted one ayurvedic doctor ,they told me that my growth has been incomplete and I am 2 inches shorter than my actual height which should be their at this age.
So Please consult me.
Thank You.
Your height will be the average height of your parents. Genetically n structurally that is what the reality is. You still have time till 18 yrs where your growth hormones will help you to increase your height. Swimming is a good exercise, along with that do some exercises which helps you to touch your feet on ground like playing volleyball or basketball, or jumping jacks, skipping etc. To increase your height.
Next Steps
Diet will be good nutritious meals with milk and it's products, seasonal fruits n veggies,along with your staple foods. Avoid having too much of sugar and fried items to keep yourself fit.
