A member asked:

How can i increase my height after my teenage years? please give some tips for me grow tall.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not possible: That does not happen biologically. If you will grow, you will grow. You cannot make yourself grow taller and you're definitely not going to grow any significant height more at age 18 and above. It's done now.
