Hello sir/mam my sister is 16 year old her growth in term of height is very low. Currently her height is 4 feet 8 inches and her weight is 48 kgs. She is shortest in her class and start feeling depressed about it. She avoid going out with her friends anywhere even in school she stays in class during free periods. Where-ever we go she compare her height with others and get sad about it. It is deteriorating her confidence and self esteem. What should we do for her growth, please suggest me something.

Female height can increase till age 21 years & males till 18 years of age. But yes we can take chance & do best exercises:- 1) skipping at least 10 min 2) pull ups 3) tadasan, stretching & suryanamaskar in yoga 4) hold horizontal iron bar which is 2 feet from your height & let the body hang for as long as possible to hold on. This will stretch spinal muscles as well back bone which will help in increasing height. Medicines to provide you nutrition & stimulate growth.
