Optimal height: Reaching your optimum height is largely in control by your genetics. Small things you can do are ensure a healthy diet, exercise in moderation and stay away from drugs, cigarettes or alcohol. Most females stop getting taller after the age of 16 so it is possible you are at your maximum height.
