Hi, i'm 20 and my height is just 5.7...wanna increase my height desperately.. my family members are also tall... pls suggest some measures and exercis?

Accept your size: At 20 your growth centers are most likely closed ; no further growth is likely.If your growth centers are open (xray of hand can tell) you might grow more but at 20 this is unlikely. There is no magic exercise or diet to grow taller.
