Height: Unfortunately not much you can do as it's genetics that determine height

You can't: Sorry to say, but you can not improve your height. Especially not after the growth centers close, which is usually by age 18-20. Children with true growth hormone deficiency can receive supplemental injected growth hormone and this will increase height. Otherwise, we pretty much all have to live with our predetermined height.
