Hello Shreya,

Thank you for reaching out with your concern regarding your height. It's important to understand that while exercise and nutrition play a role in overall health, the potential for significant height increase after the age of 18 is limited, as most individuals reach their full adult height by this age.

As you turn 18 this year, your growth plates are likely close to closing, so the possibility for a natural height increase may be minimal. However, there are still some factors you can consider:

  1. Nutrition: Ensuring a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients such as protein, calcium, vitamins, and minerals can support overall health and potentially optimize your growth potential.
  2. Exercise: While exercise won't directly increase your height at this stage, it can help improve posture and strengthen bones and muscles, contributing to a taller appearance.
  3. Supplements: There are no supplements proven to significantly increase height in adults. It's essential to be cautious of products claiming to do so, as they may not be safe or effective.
  4. Limb Lengthening Procedures: Limb lengthening is a surgical option typically reserved for individuals with specific medical conditions or severe limb length discrepancies. However, discussing the potential risks and benefits with a qualified orthopaedic surgeon before considering this option is essential.

If you're still concerned about your height and wish to explore further options,  we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional, such as an endocrinologist or orthopaedic specialist. They can assess your situation and provide personalized advice.

Remember, everyone's body is unique, and it's essential to prioritize overall health and well-being over height alone. Embracing your natural height and focusing on a healthy lifestyle can lead to confidence and happiness regardless of height.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns. We're here to support you on your health journey.
