How Can I Increase My Height
Question: How can I increase my height
My age is 24 and height is 5.5
Brief Answer:
No effective means....
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand there are lots of claims to increase height available on web and commercial ads. But scientifically there is no robust evidences that those methods work.
Human height ceases by the age of 18. There can be very, very marginal increment upto the age of 25; but this increment isn't very significant. So for all purposes significant height improvement at this age is not achievable. Only a surgical means by iliazarov technique is known to increase some height; but this is not a cost effective procedure associated with complications.
You can instead try exercise and improve fitness. A trim and fit body will make you appear relatively taller and fitter.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
Regards

Brief Answer:
diet and exercise are not height improving factor...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
As mentioned earlier, the only known effective solution to increase height is surgery; but it is also not a cost effective procedure and associated with risks.
Diet and exercise that helps you maintain weight and reduce obesity will help you appear fit. It doesn't add to your height but make you achieve what a tall man would. You should consume less carbohydrates, less fat and more proteins. Perform caridio exercises and muscle building exercises.
In simple words, it is difficult to grow significantly taller at this age. Instead, your goal should be to keep body fit.
