Hi, I am 24 years old girl and just 5 feet tall. Please help me to grow taller by at least 3 inches.
I am an engineer by profession and by the grace of God pleasantly good looking too , however the marriage proposals are rejected just based on my height.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are 5 feet tall and you want to increase your body height. Body height of a person is directly proportional to its age. Body height can increase up to age of 21 years. After this age the bones get fused and there is no significant of further growth by natural means. I would suggest you to take good diet rich in calcium and enough exposure to the sun for vitamin D. Along with this take a multivitamin supplement, stretching exercises everyday, sports like basketball and swimming, a good posture at all times, etc. After 21 age there area only surgical methods like Ilizarov technique which can be use to increase height.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
