Growth potential: After puberty, most men and women do not experience much increase in height. The best way to maximize your height is through balanced nutrition, good posture and exercises that will strengthen your back and core muscles to support your spine.

Height: Most of the time your height velocity (how quickly you increase your height) is genetically determined. Girls usually have their biggest growth spurt 2 years before and 2 years after the beginning of their menstrual periods. After that, growth slows down and then stops. Eat healthy foods and exercise regularly, but you really can't change your height.
