Hello. The reason why your height stops increasing is your bones, specifically your growth plates. Growth plates close around age 16 in women and somewhere between ages 14 and 19 in men. Still slight increase in height can happen until their growth plates close around age 22. For that you must follow calcium rich diet and exercise is important. But after that it is difficult to increase the height.
