I'm 21 years old and looking to boost my height. Is it still possible to grow after turning 20? I'm currently 5'2" and hoping to add at least 3 more inches. Could you offer any tipsmaybe exercises or something like skippingthat might help?

To increase your height after the age of 20, when the growth plates have closed, is challenging. However, you can still focus on improving your posture and overall health. Regular exercise, especially stretching exercises like yoga or Pilates, can help improve your posture and make you appear taller. Additionally, maintaining a balanced diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein is important for bone health. Adequate sleep is also crucial for overall growth and development. Unfortunately, there are no medications or supplements that can significantly increase your height at your age.
