What role genes play in the height of a child? I am boy, 16, almost skinny, 5.5" tall. I do normal work out every morning. I do exercise so that it can improve my height but I can't find any change in my height. My father is also not a tall man almost of my size. Do my height depends on my father's height. And if so, is it possible to increase my height by exercises? Please help.

Hi, Genetic make-up do effect the height of a person .But if we can try to increase it. Take medicine RITE-HITE (SBL) 4tabs to be chewed twice a day ,1/2 an hour before meals. Do pranayam,Suryanamaskar daily. Do swimming and stretching exercises daily .Do this regularly as you have a better chance of growth till 25yrs of age.
