Sir i want to know that is it possible to increase height at 18 or 19.plz provide me some useful exercise other than some medicine or other remedies

Depends on bone age: The potential growth depends on areas in the long bones (arms, legs, fingers)called growth plates. This is where growth occurs and an active open growth plate means more growth is possible. An xray of the hands & wrists can be evaluated for bone maturity.No exercise or special diet will add to your height. If your bone maturity is average for a 18yo you are finished growing taller.

Not possible: Except in rare cases of very delayed puberty, growth is complete in men by the time they reach 18 or 19 as growth plates have closed. There are no exercises or supplements or medications which will be of any benefit do please don't waste your money on them
