What can an 18-year-old do to increase his height?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern. I see as you are 18 years old and you have very less time to try new things. Because around 18 years the ossification in bones occurs. Ossification means diffusion of the growing end of the bone with the rest of the bone. As a result, the bones stop growing. As height of a person is usually determined by the two factors genetics (height of parents, or grandparents) and environmental factors. That means if your parents and grandparents are not very tall then you will be not tall as these affects your height too. The next thing that contributes to height is your diet and your physical activity. So, I suggest you follow the mentioned points which can help you increase your height if your bones still have time to be ossified then these things will have a positive outcome.

1. Start playing volleyball and basketball daily, these both games have a positive effect on growing height.
2. Skip a rope daily at least for 15 to 30 minutes.
3. Do yoga-like Tadasana.
4. The diet should include milk, eggs, Tal makhana, oatmeal, beans, yogurt, turnips, peanuts, beans, peas, and spinach in your diet. These all will help you a lot.
5. As far as medicine is concerned, I advise you to consult your doctor first and then take height increasing capsule take, one capsule twice a day with water for four to six weeks.

Try these regularly and you will see positive results. And you can come for follow up after one month. But one last and important thing does not ever allow your short height to come in your way of success and never underestimate yourself. There are many examples in the world where short-statured people have created history. I hope I have cleared all your doubts.

Thank you.
