In males maximum height can be achieved the age of 18-20. So you still have scope to boost your height. Height growth is determined by genetics and food habits. You cannot do anything about your genetics, but you can definitely work on your diet. Ensure you eat a nutritious diet comprising of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, milk and milk products, eggs, pulses, fish, lean chicken etc. The point is to include plenty of protein and calcium in your diet. Engage in activities which stretch your body such as swimming, basketball, cycling etc. Ensure adequate exposure to sunlight for Vitamin D. Take plenty of rest between activities. A minimum of 8 hours sleep every night is essential.
