Suggest Ways To Increase Height
Question: how to increase height at the age of 28??
Brief Answer:
Longitudinal growth of upto one to two inches is possible
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir. Thanks for your query.
Height is an attribute which is familial\heriditary. Maximum growth is attained by pubertal age beyond which height becomes stagnant due to fusion of joints of long bones. But yes, longitudinal growth of one to two inches can still be attained by doing-
Stretching exercises, running etc
Exercises such as swimming, playing basket ball as contribute to longitudinal growth.
Commercially available growth supplements have very limited results & are not much help.
Hope this answers your query.
