Answer
Dear Pooja,

Thank you for your question.

My advice to begin with is good nutrition.
The product i recommend is fruta-vida. Look into it here:

I also advise the use of 2 ayurvedic supplements:
You will want to research Height Grow Capsules. I believe the dosage is 3 tablets daily. The other supplement is Kesari Kalp. This is taken twice per day. They will both aid in growth.

General Dietary Recommendations:

Cut out all soy products, except fermented soy. Miso, tempeh and soy-sauce are healthy. [fermented]

Raw soy contains goitrogens which depress thyroid function. It also contains phytic acid which hinders the bodies' ability to absorb proteins, calcium, magnesium,
iron and zinc. In general it is an enzyme inhibitor.

Also, please make sure to avoid all artificial sweeteners:
splenda, sucralose, aspartame, nutra-sweet, equal, acesulfame potassium.

Splenda/sucralose have become very popular these days and are just as bad if not worse than aspartame. These sweeteners are very toxic and are found in store bought vitamins, protein powders, anything sugar-free, gum, chocolate, soda... etc. Please read labels carefully and cut out all artificial sweeteners. This is very important.

Soy and artificial sweeteners both weaken the immune system. And the immune system is the key to healing any illness. Therefore the more we can support immune related health, the better.

Cut out all margarine and hydrogenated fats. Cut out canola, rapeseed and soybean oils. These are very unhealthy. Replace with butter, pure coconut, sesame and virgin olive oils.  

7 glasses of water per day is a good idea to help flush out toxins from the body. Warm or room temperature water, never cold.

Take care and best wishes,

Imran
