Can Height Be Increased After The Age Of 24?

I am a 24 year old Female. My height is 158 cms. I wanted to understand if there is any way of increasing height naturally. I don't want to take any tablets or anything artificial. I know it sounds really ridiculous...but is this possible only through exercise and diet...I m ready to put in great efforts for this.
Thanks.
Naturally it is impossible
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have read your query.
You have crossed puberty age so naturally it is impossible to increase height as your body have stopped growing but this doesn't mean you cant still stand taller. Most people have poor posture and stand crooked taking about 2 to 3 inches of height away. You can do stretches to help this doing good stretches that you can find on youtube.com will improve your posture.
Second option is "height surgery". This is a surgery that inserts silicon (or some other synthetic material) near the base of the spine. This can increase your height by two inches, at the maximum.
No special diet will increase height after puberty.
Do not waste money on the advertisements on television channels, they won't help you anymore.
I hope you have got your answer.
Thanks.
Dr.Singh.
