Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Honsetly speaking, there is no food or exercise that would boost your height. Keep eating a balanced and healthy diet and whatever the outcome would be is the best that you could have possible attained. However, if you want to take hormone too play with your height, I will like to advice against this as the complications can be enormous.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services.
