Nutrition**: Ensure adequate protein, calcium, vitamin D, and zinc
- **Sleep**: 8-9 hours nightly (growth hormone releases during deep sleep)
- **Exercise**: Swimming, hanging exercises, stretching - won't increase bone length but may improve posture
- **Avoid growth inhibitors**: No smoking, limited caffeine, avoid alcohol

2. **Improve Your Posture**
Good posture can add 1-2 inches to your appearance:
- Strengthen core muscles
- Stretch spine regularly
- Practice standing tall
- Correct any slouching habits
3. **Consider Surgical Options (Last Resort)**
If height is critically important to you after full skeletal maturity:
- **Limb lengthening surgery**: Can add 2-3 inches but is expensive (₹5-15 lakhs+), painful, requires 6-12 months recovery, and carries risks
- Only consider after age 18-20 and extensive research

4. **Focus on What You Can Control**
- **Fitness**: Build a strong, proportionate physique
- **Confidence**: Height is just one attribute
- **Style**: Proper clothing can create visual height
- **Personality**: Success comes from character, not centimeters
Important Context
- **5'6" at 17 is within normal range** for many populations
- Average male height in Pakistan varies by region (approximately 5'6" - 5'8")
- Many successful people are your height or shorter
- Your value isn't determined by your height
