I'm 19, my height is 5.19 I want to increase at least 14cms. Please guide me how can I be able to reach to that height.

1. We all are aware of the fact that our height increases up to a particular age and then it comes to a halt. Height increases up to the age of 18 years in women and up to the age of 24 years in men. 2. It is rather difficult to increase height after reaching adulthood as the production of these hormones slowly stops. In most cases, the epiphyses of the long bones are fused as the last bits of cartilaginous tissue in the bones turn into solid hard bones. This prevents any further growth in longer bones. However, if the hormones are released naturally, increase in height can be observed. 3. These tips to increase height can be broadly put in the following two categories:-   i) natural methods of increasing the height ii) artificial methods which are usually temporary (avoid these methods but I am just giving this as a piece of information) natural methods to increase your height:- 1. You can increase height naturally by proper diet and nutrition- grams, green vegetables, potatoes, nuts such as almonds and peanuts, figs, beans, peas, fruits like apples and bananas. 2. Milk and dairy products - a well balanced diet which is rich in calcium, phosphorus, iodine and magnesium is extremely important for proper growth. In order to get protein, carbohydrates, amino acids and calcium required for healthy growth and development, we should make these following items a part of our everyday meal. A) homemade curd b) almonds c) carrots d) flax seed it is advisable to have milk and dairy products to fulfill our calcium requirements. Apart from this, we must also drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water daily to detoxify your body. 3. Ashwagandha (scientific name: withania somnifera), also known as indian ginseng, helps increase height. Mix two tablespoons of ashwagandha powder in a glass of warm cow's milk. Drink it every night before going to bed, at least for 45 days to increase your height. 4. Exercises to increase height:- 1) basic leg stretches 2) super stretch and touching toes 3) twists 4) cobra stretching 5) bar-pulls (hanging from the bars) hanging from bars 3 to 4 rounds, each round lasting a minute is very effective. 5.
