How To Increase Height?
Hello sir, I am a female and my height is 149 cms. I am currently 18 years. Is there any chances to increase my height even 2-3 inches? My father is 5ft 6inches and he was very interested in body building in his late teens so he started gyming and as a result no height increment. My mom is 5ft 3inches and she stopped all kind of physical games at her puberty therefore she stopped taking more height.

Hello dear,welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
Biologically speaking,it is not possible to increase our height at this age,as the epiphyses might have already fused with the long bones.After this,no linear bone growth is possible.Advertisements in this regard should be taken as fake.
Take care,Thank you.
