Hi,i am 19.i am around 5'6.can i grow at this age?if yes what are the things should i do?

If grew some past yr: Most people reach their maximum height in their late teens. Without nutritional problems or chronic childhood illnesses, height is largely based on genetics and parental heights. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much a person nor his doctor can do to increase height. If there was some growth over the past year, one might grow a bit more this year.
