Can I grow taller after 18

Can you grow taller after the age of 18

Many people are not satisfied with their height. The question is can you do anything about it

Genetics is what determines your height. Can you add nutrition, supplements and a workout plan to grow taller after you are 18?

Even with a healthy diet the height for most people will not increase after the age of 18-20

The reason for this is your bones, specifically your growth plates which are areas of specialised cartilage near the end of your long bones

The increase in height is mainly due to the lengthening of your long bones as the growth plans are still active or open

Growth plates close around the age of 16 in women and somewhere between the age of 14 and 19 in men

There is a common myth that certain exercises or stretching techniques can make you grow taller

Unfortunately there is no good evidence to support these claims

Moral of the story: Be happy with who you are and if height is really bothering you then remember great things come in small packages
