Many factors affect human growth: ecology, heredity, age, gender, belonging to a particular race and nation. But you can artificially increase it by leading a healthy lifestyle and performing special exercises.
You can change your height at any age and without any surgical interventions. The only question is the result: a 16-year-old young man can grow by 20-30 cm, and those over 30 years old, and a 5-cm result will be a good achievement. This pattern is explained by the fact that by the age of 18-19, the process of active growth of a person slows down. After age 19, some men may experience a slight increase in height up to age 26. Women, in most cases, no longer grow after 18.
Growth factors
To increase your height, lead a healthy lifestyle, sleep well, and eat right. It is important not to smoke, not to drink, to take care of your nervous system, otherwise no exercise will have an effect. Eat more foods that contain vitamin A: carrots, peppers, egg yolk, milk, mangoes, apricots, zucchini, cabbage, and spinach. Go in for sports: run, swim, play basketball or volleyball. Do different stretches while swimming. Do special exercises to increase your height.
Human growth is highly dependent on the quality of nutrition. Malnutrition, lack of protein and vitamins slows down growth. For example, the average North Korean resident is 7 cm shorter than the South Korean.

Perform the specified set of exercises daily. Try to exercise 1, 5-2 hours after eating. In addition to this complex, perform hanging on the crossbar several times a day.
