[|Human|] Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here... my name is abhishek nigam ang age is 21 and my hight is 5.1 ft and you have any solution to increase my hight at this age and my fathers hight is 5.4 and mothers hight is 5ft
[|AI|]  Hello Abhishek, Height of an individual is determined by Genetics, Environmental & Nutritional factors and Hormonal factors (most important the Growth Hormone secreted by pituitary gland in brain)An individual stops growing in height after the fusion of the Epiphyses (growth plates) of the long bones, which occurs by the age of 17-21 yrs in males. So...as you are 21 years old now, there is less chance of further increase in height. An X-ray for bone age determination can be taken to look for the fusion of epiphyses. Make sure that you are taking a healthy & balanced diet, exercise regularly & avoid stress. Protein rich diet like soda, groundnut, pulses, etc. should be incorporated in your diet plan. One more thing, please do not get influenced by any advertisement on internet or health product which claim to boost your growth hormone & increase height...it may be harmful. Wishing you Good Health. Take care.
