He explained: "Make sure you get enough protein, make sure you're eating your veggies and fruits. I know that it sounds like your grandma talking but it's true.

"When I say a lot, I mean the right amount.

Other doctors have previously shared their tips on how you can grow taller.

Dr Brian Boxer Walchersaid many people tend to look to their parents when it comes to their appearance, with them putting down their height and other aesthetics such as eye and hair colour, down to genetics.

But he said just 60 per cent of height is passed on through genetics.

Dr Walcher said: That means that 40 per cent are things you can do.

The expert said he is 6ft 2inches but his parents measured in at 5ft 7inches and 5ft 5inches.

He agreed with Dr Mike and said that sleep is one of the best things you can do to get taller.

He also revealed drinking cows milk and lifting weights were other great ways to grow taller, with good poster another tool in the arsenal of height.

In order to improve posture and prevent pain we should be sitting with our knees, hips and elbows at 90 degree angles with our spine in a neutral position and our shoulder blades set gently back and down away from our ears, with our feetcomfortably on the floor.

But if this all sounds too much like hard work, then one TikTok doctor said you can pay 60,000 for surgery to get taller.

Doctor Shahab Mahboubian uses "magnetic nails" to perform height-lengthening surgery, which he has been practising for over ten years.

The 45-year-old, who lives in California charges patients 56,000 ($75,000) for lengthening of femurs and 61,000 ($85,000) for lengthening of tibias.

Those who want maximum results could shell out a whopping 112,000 ($155,000) to have their bones "cut" through.

The orthopaedic surgeon highlights that it will take three to four months for patients to walk unassisted and six to eight months after surgery until they can take part in sports.
