I'm 16 years old my height 183cm and i'm male. i want to stop growing taller can you tell me any exercise or foods or anything that stops me growing ?

No exercise or food: There are not any exercise or foods that will stop your growth. There are medications that can prematurely fuse the growth plates, but the side effects far outweight any benefit that you would get. Be happy with your height, it makes you unique!
