Dear Rose,
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 16-20 yrs in females.
So...as you are 19 yrs old now, you still have a good chance of increasing your height.
An X ray of your wrist joint 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 soya, groundnut, pulses, etc should be incorporated in your
diet plan.
Baryta carb should be taken only after consultation with your Physician.
One more thing...avoid consuming any
over the counter medication which claim to boost your growth hormone & increase height...it may be harmful.
Wishing you Good Health.
Take care.
