Thanks for your query,
First and most important thing is have self confidence,
Height is determined by variety of factors including genetic,nutritional,and exercises.
By 18 years almost adult height is reached but there can be small increase til 20 years.
I advise you to take good nutrition.do exercise stretching exercise.
Accept and be proud of yourself as you are.
Wishing you good health.
God bless
Normally by age 18, you would have already reached your final height, rarely persons may continue growing beyond the teens.
Final height is primarily determined by genetics, though diet, exercise and the presence of chronic illnesses can play a role.
Although it is not possible to alter ones final height, there are a variety of exercises that are thought to improve posture and affect therefore have a positive effect.
The use of pilates which increases core strength and yoga which involves stretching exercises are recommended.
I hope this helps

MD Hi, I m 28, female in Australia... I used to weigh 149kg s, I now weigh 89kg after having a gastric sleeve in dec 2011. My question is... What could be causing a irregular heart beat feeling and a flutter in my chest after I have eaten? I hadn t done any heavy exercise before eating so it s all at a slow regular pace. I used to get it before my weight loss surgery, but I m still having them. When it happens I check my pulse also it has a normal heart beat but then it feels like there is a slight pause and a hard thump right after. It happens quite a few times in the space of approximately 30seconds, then when I count my heart beat I count 50 beats in 30 seconds then after a minute I m fine again. This is really scary for me as i have heart problems in my family from my grandma (mothers side). What could be causing this?
MD Good evening. I have been on a low carb, high protein diet over the past 3 weeks and am enjoying this change of lifestyle. i only eat clean foods, plenty of fruit and veges, lean chicken and fish. Typical of everything the professionals tell you. I have been losing weight also which of course is a bonus. I started taking metamusil over the past 3 days in my morning juice plus drink 1 ltr of fresh water plus a couple of coffees daily. My problem now is, i have not used my bowels for the past 3 days and my flatulance has increased and really smells offensive. What do you suggest? Please help.
MD The last 3 days I ve passed stools that appear to have white clumps of a stringy like substance intertwined in it. I have changed my diet and eat more protein than usual. I also started working out. The diet change was about a month ago as well as the working out. Any idea what it could be? Is it just something associated with the high protein diet and a reduction in carb intake?
