How to gain muscles or even height. My age is 21 now. I would like to know the answer if any.

Question

Hi,
The food what and how you eat, makes the difference! For increasing your weight, concentrate on the below points (if you don?t have any medical condition) which helps in gaining weight in a right way without harming your body.
- Consume more healthy fats. Foods containing healthy fats are full of nutrients and also high in calories, making them a great option for weight gain. Foods containing plant fats should be your first option - this includes items such as nuts, seeds, peanut butter, avocados and olive oil. Foods containing healthy animals fats include lean meats and full fat dairy products - although if you have high cholesterol, you should probably stick to low-fat options.
-Eat more protein. Good sources of protein include lean meat, fish and poultry, in addition to eggs, whole grains, dairy products and legumes.
-Drink more calories. Try drinking a large glass of orange juice in the mornings (along with your normal breakfast). Drink a glass or two of full-cream milk throughout the day.
-Have 6 small and frequent meals in a day.
-Gain muscle mass. It's a good idea to continue to exercise while you attempt to gain weight the healthy way. Strength training includes working with weights and performing exercises such as squats, deadlifts, bench presses, bicep curls, crunches, chin-ups and leg curls. Just keep in mind that the more you exercise, the more calories you will need to consume to replace those you lost while working out.
-Quit smoking. As it suppresses the appetite.
-Stay healthy. The most important thing through the entire weight gain process is to stay healthy - eating a balanced diet and continuing to exercise throughout.
-Take enough of rest and sleep for rejuvenation of the cells and tissues.
-Think Positive which will help you in achieving your target of gaining weight.
-Avoid taking unnecessary stress/ tension.

Yogasanas for gaining weight:
Bhujangasana:
Lie flat on your stomach. Place your hands on the side and ensure that your toes touch each other.
Then, move your hands to the front, making sure they are at the shoulder level, and place your palms on the floor.
Now, placing your body?s weight on your palms, slowly raise your head and trunk. Note that your arms should be bent at your elbows at this stage.
You need to arch your neck backwards, in an attempt to replicate the cobra with the raised hood.
Hold the asana for a few seconds, while breathing normally. Feel your stomach pressed against the floor. With practice, you should be able to hold the asana for up to two minutes.
To release the pose, slowly bring your hands back to the sides, and rest your head on the ground by bringing your forehead in contact with the floor. Place your hands under your head. Then, slowly rest your head on one side and breathe.
Repeat this pose thrice for best results.
Contraindications:
This exercise should be avoided if you suffer from hernia or have had an abdominal surgery recently.
This asana should be avoided at all costs if you are pregnant or have a back injury.
2. Vajrasana:
Kneel on your knees, making sure your calf muscles lie close together, and your big toes are crossed.
Lower your upper body, placing your buttocks on your heels and your thighs on your calf muscles.
Place your hands on your knees and ensure your upper body is erect. Breathe normally.
Concentrate on how you inhale and exhale. You can close your eyes while you try to calm your mind.
It might be a good idea to hold this position for about five to 10 minutes. If you feel a strain or pain in your legs, release the position. With regular practice, you could actually meditate in this position for as long as 30 minutes.
Contraindications:
It is best to avoid this asana if you are suffering from a knee problem or have undergone a knee surgery recently.
If you are pregnant, make sure you keep your knees apart when you assume this position, or you might end up adding stress and pressure on your abdomen.
For gaining height:
As height can be gained till 21 yrs. Of age in males, so start taking homoeopathic medicines which are safe to take without any side-effects - Bakson's Hite-Aid and Five Phos. - both thrice daily and Thuja 1M/ one dose once a week - take them for 4 months.
Management:
Consume a balanced diet. A person will look a lot shorter when having a plump body. Not only that, being fit by eating right will make you taller and feel better!
Eat plenty of lean protein. Lean protein, such as white poultry meat, fish, soy, and dairy, helps promote muscle growth and healthy bones. Simple carbohydrates such as pizza, cakes, sweets, and soda, are the stuff to stay away from.
Eat plenty of calcium. Calcium, found in leafy green vegetables such as spinach and kale, and in dairy (yogurt and milk), helps promote healthy bones.
Get enough zinc. Studies, although they have been inconclusive so far, point to a possible link between zinc deficiencies and stunted growth in boys. Good sources of zinc include oysters, wheat germ, pumpkin and squash seeds, lamb, peanuts, and crab.
Get enough vitamin D. Vitamin D promotes bone and muscle growth in children, and a deficiency has been shown to stunt growth and cause weight gain in teenage girls. Vitamin D can be found in fish, alfalfa, or mushrooms commonly.
60% to 80% of your height is determined by genes!
Apart from these:
-Exercise throughout the teen years and in puberty. Get out and about and work your muscles for at least 30 minutes each day. Join a gym, join a sports team, if nothing else, walk around. Do get indulge in stretch exercises, and sports like basketball, volleyball.
-Sleeping is the time when your body grows, Get between 9 and 11 hours of sleep per night if you're a preteen or still younger than 20.
-Avoid any bad habit like smoking which affects the height, also avoid anabolic steroids which inhibit bone growth in young children and teens.
-Always stand straight instead of hunching your back.
(You can probably increase your height by a few inches with diet and lifestyle changes, especially if you are still in your teens or even your early 20s (for boys).)
