Height increases till 18 years of age. There is no evidence that height increases by hanging exercises. A balanced diet and exercise are very important for health maintenance. Get your vitamin D and vitamin B12 and Hemoglobin tested. If there are deficiencies, they have to be treated and may help in height gain.
