How to increase height

Ans: While genetics play a significant role in determining your height, you can control some factors to support healthy growth and overall well being. Eat fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, proteins, and dairy. Focus on lean protein (beans, soy, nuts) and calcium-rich foods (dairy, leafy greens). Consider zinc-rich sources like wheat germ and seed. Exercise daily for at least 60 minutes. Drink plenty of water.

My son who is going to be 17 years old in December 2024 is still not gaining height. both me and my husband are 5'5" and 5'7". But he has niether grown facial hair nor is gaining height. we are very much worried. he does not get time for much physical activities as he is preparing for JEE and is in 12th standard.

Ans: Onset of puberty depends on many factors. There may be a history of familial delayed puberty. His pediatrician would have charted his height increments till now and would be able to tell you if it is in the normal range or if tests are required.
