You should play basketball regularly.\nShould hang on a bar by holding the bar with hands regularly three times a day.\nshould while standing on your feet touch the ground with flat hands without bending your knees ten times a day.\nThese things will definitely help you in gaining height.

at 19,  your growth plates will be just about closing.  \n\nthey dont fully close until around 25,  but i think you will be lucky to achieve any dramatic change in height.\n\nsome people try human growth hormone.  but ill be honest its not all that likely to change much and is also expensive.  Beware if sold over the net may not contain what it pretents to, and if the claims to makes are too good to be true,  then they probably are not true.\n\ntaking a anabolic drug like the steroids body builders take will actually speen up closure of growth plates,  so no extra height there\n\ni would suggest work on exercises to improve posture, with good safe back stretching exercises.  these may help,  but youre not likely to gain much

Your height is predetermined by your genetic makeup.  There is nothing you can do to increase it.

You don't need any medication or drugs to take to increase \nyour height. You're a 16 year old boy whose body is still growing.\nHowever, to speed up your growth in height normally, you can\ndo the following daily:-\n1. Regular exercise involving jumping high-up, body stretching,\n    rope skipping and horizontal bar chin-up for 2 hours.\n2. Drink lots of water and eat lots of fruits and vegetables too;\n3. Don't smoke of any kind whatsoever;\n4. Don't masturbate because it saps off your energy which is\n    needed for your daily exercises.\nIf you do well, I can assure you that you'll go taller by at least\n3-4 inches without much worry when you're 18 years old.

there is a yoga exercise which can increase your height by 4cm within a year if you do it every day.... its called "the plough posture" and its also great for releavig back pain in some cases...\n\nits pretty easy, all you have to do is lie down on your back(on the floor), bring both legs over your head and try to keep them straight... stretch your hands out so that they are parallel to your legs... while youre in this position breathe slowly and deeply from the abdomen and concentrate on the spine. Stay in the posture for about 1 minute.....  To come out of the posture, just slowly uncurl the spine... do not panic if you feel an uncomfortable feeling in your back once you place youre legs back on the floor... just lie there for a couple of minutes and relax..... \n\nthe exercise opens up the spinal discs and stretches most spinal muscles and ligaments...  its very good for your back...\nBUT IF YOU HAVE SOME PROBLEMS WITH YOURE BACK YOU SHOULD TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DO THIS EXERCISE.....

All else being equal, you can't get any taller than your genes dictate.  I'm not tall,  5'9", and have always wished I could get at least to that magical 6 foot tall barrier.  You can make sure that you get to the tallest that your genes will allow by staying healthy, eating properly, getting plenty of rest, etc.\n\n"The height of the person is influenced by many factors, like good nutrition, onset and end of puberty and, most importantly, by the genetic predisposition. Most people by the time they are 19 have stopped growing and reached their final height. By that age growth epiphyses (the areas of the bones in your arms and legs that grow) have closed and the bone cannot get any longer. Unfortunately, once that happened, there is not much you can do to become taller.  \n\nIf you have seen advertisements for products that promise to make you taller, beware, there are no pills or devices that can increase your height.  Try to remember that height is only on aspect of who you are and that you have many qualities that you can control, like how you are as a friend, how hard you work and how you treat other people."

i hate to break it to you but girls stop growing @ 18 and then we only have the ability to shrink as we get older.. so if your lookin to grow go out and buy yourself those nice heeled boots or some platform flip flops.. dont be ashamed i am 6'2  (girl) and i wish i was short. i have to look down on everyone and i hate how everyone has to reach to me.

You can't. After puberty, your growth stops. Learn to accept your height. It's a very small liability to carry around on.

Increase of height is a natural process. For male the ultimate age of height growth is about 21 yrs. And for female it is about 18. Anyone’s height depend upon his/her heredity as well as STH secretion and so many other physiological things. \nAll those products available in market (like height increasing shoes etc.) to increase height doesn’t work basically. And some of these have its adverse effect also. And also height growing medicines are bad. Later on it might show its bad side effects and hormonal disorder.\nThe best way to increase height is to\n1.Exercise regularly and in proper way.\n2.Go to some good exercise center where well trained and properly educated trainers are available.\n3.Consult to your doctor.\n4.Have healthy foods.

well people grow taller till the ends of the long bones keep growing ...once they are fused no gain in height is usually possible. If you feel that your growth is not proper do get an appointment with an endocrinologist who deals with problems of growth...however i think your height is sufficient ti leading a normal and fruitful life...so why worry there is more to life then just being tall!!

You could take growth hormones, but I don't advise it. They can seriously mess you up. Relax. You're only 15, and 5'3" isn't that bad. You don't stop growing till you're about 21 anyways. I'm turning 25 in a week and I'm only 5'4". Learn to love yourself. Big things come in small packages.

Naturally?  Then do nothing.  \n\nYou can get a little taller temporarily by doing things like hanging upside down for hours a day and stretching your back.  That's what football players do to get that extra inch for the measurements during the combine.  Not really worth the time though.\n\nBetter to just accept your height and move on.  Height means very little in the long run, and anyone who treats you differently because you're shorter, or taller, than them has their own issues to deal with.  \n\nBesides, shorter people live longer!\n\nGood luck.\n\n**late addition - calcium can't hurt, vitamins can't hurt, and seeing a doctor to examine your growth plates might not be a bad idea.  They should be able to tell you if nature has anything left in the tank for you.

Everybody is different. People have told me that I wont grow any taller when I was 19 (I was 5'2") Especially since I was girl because girls stop growing at a younger age. But now Im 21 and I grew to 5'5 1/2. I had another growth spurt at around age 20 and grew three inches in one year. Especially after I started eating calcum chews.\n\nI think the key is to take advantage of your growth spurts. Eat more vitamins and calcium supplements. Also since I sleept on a firmer bed I lengthened my back. After a few years of sleeping like this I think It helped out alot.\n\nAnd being as young as you are, your testosterone has yet to kick into full gear! Be paitient and good luck!
