After 20 years increasing height is less likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting query.
After the age of 20 years, chance of increasing height is not possible.
After 20 years of age epiphisis of long bones fuses with end of long bones so there is no possibility of increasing height.
If some body claims for the same, do not believe and if they show increasing height is just manipulation by their cheating technique.
Go for exercises like running, jogging, swimming, cycling or jumping ropes.
Take high protein diet.
I hope, I answered your query.
If you have further query or clarification, please write back.
Ok and take care.
