Q How can I grow taller? M age is 15 yrs. M height is 5 ft. I want to grow taller up to 6 ft.
In females maximum height can be achieved by the age of 16 and in males by the age of 20. In either case you have good scope to boost your height. Height growth is determined by genetics and food habits. You cannot do anything about your genetics, but you can definitely work on your diet. Ensure you eat a nutritious diet comprising of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, milk and milk products, eggs, pulses, fish, lean chicken etc. The point is to include plenty of protein and calcium in your diet. Engage in activities which stretch your body such as swimming, basketball, cycling etc. Ensure adequate exposure to sunlight for Vitamin D. Take plenty of rest between activities. A minimum of 8 hours sleep every night is essential.
