Welcome to Healthcare Magic...
Height depends on a lot of factors , mostly genetic. At 24 yrs , i am sorry to let you know that there are no scientifically proved ways to increase height. Only way is by wats called illizarows technique , for which u need to consult an orthopedician. Let me give u an insight of wat it is ? Here the bones of legs are cut and fixed in a way that they leave a gap in between and over time bone grows up to fill that gap, thus increasing the height. As u can see its a surgical procedure and needs meddling with ur bones , so i would never personally recommend to undergo this, just in pursuit to add up few centimeters . May render ur bones weak too . Think about it ....Sorry could not help u much.
