I am 24 years old and my weight is 60 kg and I am 5 foot 6 inches tall. How can I increase my height?

Question

Hye,
Thanks for the query.
If you want to gain some weight, you need to eat more calories than you burn.
1.  Eat 5 to 6 meals a day
In order to gain weight, you need to start eating 5-6 meals a day. However, it is important that you break these meals into parts, as eating a lot at once may result in indigestion. Also, be sure to include healthy foods in your diet for a healthy weight gain.
2.  Weight train at least 3 times a week
When you train with weights, your muscles grow.
3.  Consume more calories than you burn.
Eating calories more than your normal intake may not be easy, but you must do it if you want to stop being skinny. Make sure you don?t do it just by overeating at once, but instead do it gradually over the whole day. 
4.  Work out your entire body
A lot of gym goers usually train only the muscles on their arms, chest and shoulders and this is a grave error. Make sure you workout your entire body for a wholesome weight gain.
5.  Load up on protein
As informed earlier, you have to consume more calories than your normal intake every day. You can do this by eating foods rich in protein like dairy, meat, eggs, nuts, dry fruits, pulses, sprouts, smoothies, milk shakes etc. 
6.  Drink your calories
It may be tough to meet your calorie requirements by just eating. Drinking milk, lassi, milkshakes or fruit smoothies with little or no sugar can be a great way to load up on the required calories.
7.  Try and eat fast (but don?t choke on it)
8.  Focus on recovery after each workout
Stretching exercises, foods rich in carbohydrates can help recover your body significantly. Also, you should aim for 8 hours of sleep as inadequate sleep can cause several problems.
9.  Be patient with yourself
Hoping to gain weight quickly in a healthy manner is unrealistic.
