What Can Be Done To Increase Height After 16 Years Of Age?
Sir I am a boy 16 years old. When I was around 13 my puberty started and my body developed lots of hair on my chest, face etc and beard started to grow more. So I started to shave my beard.(Peers call me "uncle" to tease me now) I have been shaving my beard for almost 3 years now beard has become stiff and irritating now. I see my height (Now 163cm) is not growing much from almost an year. I'm Tensed about all this and worry about my future I don't want to be short.

Hi
You can increase your growth hormones by doing exercises like jogging ringing swimming.And you should take proteinaceous foods and vitamins.Better avoid body building exercises.Avoid caffiene and cigerrets.Protein supplements which contain L arginine and L ornithine also helps.You should also get enough sleep daily.This may gives you little more height.Hope this may help you.
thanks
