I'm 16 years old and i want to increase my height what am i supposed to do to grow taller fast? plz do help

Depends: Most women finish growing taller at 16-17 or within 2 years of first menses. The hormones that control puberty trigger a growth spurt followed by a message to growth centers to finish.Once the growth centers close you are done.A single x-ray of your wrist/hand could be examined for growth centers.If open you could grow taller,if closed you are done.A balanced diet/proper rest and exercise help.
