How to increase my height? I am 23 years old.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Growth in terms of height drastically reduces after puberty.
- You have not mentioned your gender.
- Theoretically, with proper nutrition and under ideal circumstances, growth in height stops in women at 18 years and in men at 24 years.
- This does not consider other factors like family tendencies and genetic inheritance.
- I suggest you to have nutritionally rich food like milk and milk products, egg yolk, lean meat like fish, fresh fruits and vegetables.
- You can also indulge in stretching exercises and yoga that will give you better posture and help you to look taller.
- If you are overweight, focus on losing weight.
- Sleep for at least 8 hours a day.
- You need to drink 6-8 glasses of water a day to detoxify your body.
- Following these tips will help in maintaining ideal body condition. That coupled with yoga and other exercises should help you.
