I'm 19 and a half years old and I'm about 5 feet 7 inches tall. I'm really curious about any potential height growth I could expect by the time I'm 21, especially with exercise and a proper diet. I've heard some people talk about doing setups while sticking to a cart leg - is that something that's good or bad for height growth? Also, I've been told that I might only gain about half an inch to maybe 2 inches, but that's rare. Is there any truth to that? I just want to know what I can realistically expect.

So, while your body may not grow significantly taller after 19.5 years, adopting a healthy lifestyle with good posture practices and exercises can help you reach your full potential and improve your overall body alignment.

View allI'm 24 years old and my height is 5.7. I'm really curious to know if it's still possible for me to grow taller at this age. If there's a way to increase my height, could you please explain how it might be possible?
At 24, your growth plates have likely closed, making natural height increase unlikely

I'm feeling like there's too much heat in my body even though my temperature is normal, and it's really strange because I never sweat. Do you have any idea which kind of specialist I should see for this problem?
