A member asked:
Which kinda diet or exercises should i do to boost my height growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Healthy lifestyle: You are most likely to reach your tallest potential height by following a healthy diet, getting appropriate sleep and remaining physically active. There are no exercises that specifically increase height. Nothing you eat or drink will add inches.You can stunt your growth by the opposite, poor diet/sleep/inactivity can all take a toll. After age 17-18 most linear growth stops.
