Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.

Height of a individual depends on the dietary factors and genetic potential. Beyond a certain limit any diet cannot help in gaining height. Excess diet results in obesity and nothing else. Regular exercise helps to maintain a healthy body. Please consult a endocrinologist for growth hormone therapy and if it is indicated in your case.

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
