Hey guys, I am 20 years old and I am still not satisfied with my height. It's not that I look bad but still i wish i were little more, may be 5' 8''. Do you guys have any knowledge of right food and exercise that would give best results.

I'm afraid that you're fully grown at the age of 20. In case you're a woman that's a good height. I'm sure many Indian women are much smaller.

@Vincygar13 That's certainly a good thing, but it won't add an inch to your height.

@MALUSE Oh! that sounds disappointing, but may be eating right would help. But i would surely tell you that by doing regular yoga I have been able to loose 8-9 kg since last year, just i needed was to give up fried and fast food.

5'8" is tall for an asian female. are you aspiring to be a model or something?

@Vincygar13 In my opinion, 5' 4" is a nice height for an Asian lady.I'm sure with a bit of heels you'll look fantastic!

The only thing I can think of is work on your posture. Im not sure if people grow in height after 20 though.

I understand taking up sports like high jump and doing pull ups can have some effect on your height to a certain extent. Of course, there is no proven studies done as such. But if you're desperate there is no harm in trying.

After 21, height stops for all the people. there is no way to grow the height.

Sorry, but I think you're stuck with your height. You're pretty much past the time of your life where you grow.
