I am 22 years old and my body weight is around 64 kgs. My height is 5.3" and I am the shortest person in my family, everybody is more than 5.5".So my question is, can I increase my height on this age? Actually I read somewhere that men grow till 21 yrs, that is why I am worried.

Height is usually always dominated by genetics. How short are your parents? If you are their size or slightly taller then them, chances are you won't grow very much more. There are no amazing magic ways to get taller. Get lots of nutrition and calcium. Get tons of calcium. Bigger bones means bigger you. Work out and play sports alot. Also greatly emphasize stretching. Posture is also important. Walk as tall and as straight as possible and over time this will add a handful of centimetres to your height. Take ashwagandha powder 2-2 tsf twice a day and lakshadi guggul 1-1 tab twice a day with warm water.
