Hye. Thankyou for your query. Your height is largely determined by your genetics and environment. Although several factors that determine your height are out of your control, there are a few things such as your height stays the same. Before that, however, you can use the following techniques and exercises to reach your full potential. 1. Understand that most of your height will be determined by genetics of your family. 2. Avoid growth-stunting factors. There might not be a lot you can do to increase your height, but you can take several steps to make sure your natural height isn't shortened by environmental influences. Drugs, steroids, smoking and alcohol are both thought to contribute to stunted growth if they're ingested while you're young, and malnutrition can keep you from reaching your full height, as well. 3. Get plenty of sleep. You need between 8.5 and 11 hours of sleep every night. The human growth hormone (HGH) is produced naturally in our bodies, especially during sound sleep. 4. Eat right. Ensuring that you're getting all the vitamins and minerals your body requires will help you grow to your full height. Make sure to take in an abundance of carbohydrates and calories for that is where the body gains its energy to grow. Get plenty of calcium (found in dairy products and green vegetables). Calcium promotes bone growth, and can help prevent osteoporosis. Get sufficient vitamin D (which can be obtained through eating fish, sprouts, or mushrooms, or spending enough time in the sun). Vitamin D promotes bone and muscle growth and a deficiency has been shown to stunt growth. Take in lots of protein (from meat, eggs, tofu, dals, pulses or legumes). Proteins provide an essential building block your body needs in order to grow. Up your intake of nuts Eat on a regular schedule. You should be eating 3 meals a day, with small snacks between breakfast and lunch, and lunch and dinner. 5. Keep your immune system strong. Citrus fruits are good and getting plenty of rest helps immunity. Keep your immune system strong by eating whole, fresh foods. Try to avoid processed foods, foods with empty calories or high levels of fat, and hydrogenated foods, such as margarine or shortening. Eat a wide variety of healthy foods. Eat a variety of fruits, plenty vegetables, whole grains, protein sources such as milk, cheese, nuts and fish, and other foods rich in antioxidants and good fats. 6. Exercise your body. Sadly, if your growth plates have closed as due to your age, exercising will not affect your growth rate. But if you enjoy swimming, biking, running, or yoga, among other sports, and you haven't stopped growing, exercise combined with the right diet and proper sleep should help you grow. 7. Practice good posture. Rolling your shoulders or hunching over can actually affect the curvature of your growing spine (and not in a good way). Keep your shoulders back, chin high, and hips over your feet. 8. Cultivate confidence. 9. Visit a medical professional or dietician to plan a personalised diet. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water. Don't go on fad diets while you're still growing. Exercise at least three days each week. Make sure you eat the recommended amount of food for your personal height. Consuming less than the daily normal amount is proven to stunt growth.
