A member asked:

Hello my height is 172 cm , i'm in a couple of months turning 18, is there any specific way to grow like 10 cm or it's impossible... thanks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: At age 18, it is highly unlikely to grow any taller. There is not any specific food, medication, or exercise to do so. You can add inserts to your shoes to look taller though - although not 10 cm - that is a little too much.
