Will Two Months Be Sufficient For The Growth Of Height If I Do Stretching Exercises And Eat Eggs?
Want to grow tall.... hi doctor, I m 15 and only 163 cm. I really want to grow taller. I have started stretching and drinking milk, and eating eggs everyday. My school holidays are coming up and I want to be able to see a difference in the next 2 months if possible or will it take longer? Pls help... Thank you
Height of an individual is determined by Genetics, Environmental & Nutritional factors and Hormonal factors (most important the Growth Hormone secreted by pituitary gland in brain) An individual stops growing in height after the fusion of the Epiphyses (growth plates) of the long bones, which occurs by the age of 17-21 yrs in males.
So...as you are only 15 yrs old now, you still have a good chance of increasing your height. Make sure that you are taking a healthy & balanced diet, exercise regularly & avoid stress. Protein rich diet like soya, groundnut, pulses, etc should be incorporated in your diet plan.
One more thing...avoid consuming any over the counter medication which claim to boost your growth hormone & increase height...it may be harmful.
Wishing you Good Health. Take care.
