will stretching and drinking milk help at this stage?
Brief Answer:
Yes helps in fitness
Detailed Answer:
Stretching, jogging,high protein diet, etc will help in improving the fitness of the person, which is more important for a person and same is also recommended.
So many fake misleading marketing advertisements are in news papers for increasing the height. Should be overlooked.
Some fake medicine are sold directly mostly having serious side effects. Better to avoid them.
Elezharov technique is used by some orthopedic surgeons. A long surgical procedure done by them. All pros and cons should be discussed in detail with surgeon before going such surgery.
Hope the query is answered.
