I am 21 years old female and my height is 4' 11" which is very short. My parents are also of small to medium stature. And I am about to reach 22 after a month. I want to know weather my height can be increased or not? And if yes, then how? Tell me any medicine allopathic, or homeopathic, or ayurvedic, which can be afforded easily. And also any diet plan or any exercise.

Hello. Height cannot be increased once the bones ends get closed. Normally in female it gets closed by the age of 18 - 20 yrs. More over height depends upon genetic factors. Still if take calcium rich diet, like milk and milk products, green vegetables, fruits,and regular exercise, these can help you little bit changes. Along with this if you want proper diet chart and medicines help, you can consult through private questions.
