Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you want to increase body height . Well 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 . Son there are three years still remain and you will get good height . 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 rare only surgical methods like Ilizarov technique which can be use to increase height .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
