A member asked:

I want to increase my height now i am20 year?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Height: By 20 years old, it is almost certain that you are done growing. Adding more inches to your height really isn't possible. Eat healthy, exercise regularly, and don't smoke. You can build muscle by working out and eating healthy, but growing taller probably isn't likely.
