Suggest Ways To Increase Height

Posted on Sat, 1 Oct 2016

Question: I've heard its not possible to increase height after the growth plates are closed. But a random doctor's blog suggested me that its just one of the factor influencing height. But we can increase height considering other factors if we work hard. Would yoga and exercise help to increase height even after growth plates are closed? Please suggest.

There is no medicines to increase height.
