Take a balanced diet

Due to slouched shoulders, neck and spine, your height can look a few inches less. So keep your posture right. Because this can also cause neck and back pain. If you have to sit in front of the laptop all day, then keep a pillow on your back to correct your posture.

Night sleep is essential

Sleeping less for a few hours occasionally will not affect your growth much. But when you start sleeping less than required on a regular basis, it starts having an adverse effect on your health. It also affects your physical growth. So try to get adequate sleep to stay fit and healthy.

Supplements can be beneficial

The food we eat is the primary source of vitamins and minerals that help us grow and stay healthy. But sometimes food does not provide you with all the nutrients your body needs. Therefore, to meet the requirements, you can include supplements in your diet. Supplements like synthetic HGH, vitamin D or calcium can prove to be quite beneficial for those who are trying to increase their height by a few inches. But do consult a doctor before taking them.
