How To Become Taller?

Hello
Hello
I'm a 19 year old male

My height is around 5 "5

All my brothers are 6"1 to 6"5

Why haven't I grown ? Is there any way I can grow taller ?
Please help me

Any proper medicine or anything that I should eat that would help me grow!
Thankyou

HI.
This is a very interesting to know-
If there would have been medicines to increase height , everyone would have taken them and all would have been taller..
So there are no known medicines to increase the height without any side effects which can have serious side effects. So do not try any.

You are 19 and you still have a great chance. Go for regular exercises, mixed balanced diet. Stress-free lifestyle.. All this will help you a lot.
