By your early 20s, height growth mostly stops as the bones stop growing, but you can still improve your posture and overall health to look taller.
Stretching exercises like hanging, and yoga asanas such as Tadasana and Bhujangasana can help your spine and improve your posture.
Incorporate weight-bearing exercises like light squats and lunges to strengthen bones and muscles.
Your diet plays a crucial role; focus on
calcium-rich foods like milk, yogurt, paneer, almonds, and sesame seeds for strong bones.
Protein is vitalâinclude lentils, chickpeas, tofu, soy, nuts, and seeds. If non-vegetarian, eggs, chicken, and fish are excellent choices.
Add foods high in zinc, like pumpkin seeds, cashews, and whole grains, as they support growth and development.
Winter-specific foods like carrots, beets, spinach, and seasonal fruits such as oranges and guava provide essential vitamins and minerals.
Stay hydrated; water
aids in nutrient absorption and maintains overall health.
Get at least 7-8 hours of quality sleep, as growth hormone secretion happens during deep sleep phases.
Spend time in sunlight daily to ensure adequate
vitamin D levels, or include fortified foods and supplements as needed. Consistency in your diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits is key.
While height increase might be limited, these changes will improve overall fitness and posture, enhancing your appearance and health.
