A member asked:

I want to grow taller. i just started yoga and tried hanging from a bar for not more than 10sec daily. do these exercises help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely to happen: The growth centers of your bones determine how tall you can grow.Most male growth centers will close at 16-19 years. After that, you do not grow taller. If your growth centers were open, a balanced diet/rest ; healthy physical activity would support good growth.There are no special diets or exercises that make you taller.Hanging briefly stretches u but that disappears after becoming upright.
