Do you think is it possible to increase height about 2-3 inches after the age of 20-21? With some special exercises, good sleep and special diet?

For both men and women.

Unless that person was a late boomer then no. Any height change that may occur in the 20s will be miniscule (millimeters/centimeters). Whether or not a person can continue to grow or not depends on if their growth plates are open or closed. If their still open then you have a chance of a miniscule height gain, but if they're closed then you're not growing unless you spend money to do leg lengthening surgery. An x-ray can answer this growth plate question.

Good sleep and good diets would have been great for growth if you were still in your teenage years and you were meant to be taller (in your genetics), but at the age of 20, they're not going to affect growth. Having great posture and wearing certain type of clothing can give you the illusion that you're taller, but it only that... an illusion.

There's limb lengthening surger, but it's expensive, painful and dangerous. Maybe 10 years down the road it might become safer and more affordable :/

Also I've read that stretching can improve your posture and straighten out your spine supposedly adding an extra 1-3 inches to a persons height. Specifically hanging from a chin up bar or using an inversion table.

I've never actually done it so I don't know if it actually works.

disclaimer*
if you somehow die or seriously hurt yourself using an inversion table it's not my fault ☺

A woman is lucky if she gets 2-3 inches after 15 let alone 21 and I don't think it's much more likely for a guy.

there are some explainations about some exercises for max 2 inches adding on any age untill 40. Do you think this can be possible?

[BellePepper]

Like I said. I think it's highly unlikely.

I did exactly that. I started out at 5"3 at the age of 20 and now I am between 5"5 and 5"6.

[Asker]

Are you serious? How did you do that? Exercises about spine?

[523206720]

Well I don't know how I did it but I think it was because I had more peace inside and was more inspired which led to healthier body and height increase.

[Lyndsielee666]

eh.
I knw if you don't eat your feet shrink as well your actual height.
i went from 5'4, size 6 1/2 shoes
to 5'2 size 5 shoes xD
not sure about increasing height though..

Google Agrowbics by gym box it's a program that claims to do what you're trying to achieve with a money back guarantee.

Some people gain an inch or two just by fixing their posture.

[Asker]

its about spine I think I heard Max range is about 3 inches but that is max. I hope 2 inches possible

[Ihav2fart]

Yeah, I believe it is about the spine.

Highly unlikely. Women stop growing at 18 and men can keep going until 21 but after that it's done.

Do they have proof that it worked or are they just saying a bunch of nonsense?
The only way to get taller past that age is for surgery that would lengthen your shins and it's one of the most painful surgeries.

[Asker]

an inch or max two inches possible with fixing the posture about spine. İts not big difference anyway max 3-4 cm

[Opinion Owner]

Well then it's not really making anyone taller, it's simply making them stand straighter and overall showing the height they already had.

[Asker]

Only very very short people and rich people can try those surgeries. Even those people are not taking that risk often because after that surgery you're unable to walk like 1-2 years and thats very bad. After that 2 years also you're not able to do any sports. So its really vaste of life in this time and tecnology. But in future they can find better ways of course but we will not see those days.

I didn't grow after 18. I am a man. When you are 18, it is over.
