Enjoy what you have.: While there is evidence that environmental factors can contribute to slight increases in height in populations you get what you get. At 18 you are most likely at the end of your growing career. you may gain another inch or so. The only thing you can do at this point to maximize your potential is to eat as healthy as you can with high protein foods, calcium, and vitamin rich produce.

Hard to say: Growth centers in long bones determine how tall you can grow.Most growth centers will close at 16-19 years in males. After that happens, you are done. If your growth centers are open, a balanced diet/rest ; healthy physical activity will support good growth.Their are no special diet or exercises that make you taller. Gh injections would only get you to your genetic height faster, not add extra.
