Height enhancement is only possible through correct exercises like cycling, skipping, stretching exercise, yoga, and you can take up athletic activities like long jump etc.
With that you need to have balance diet that helps your muscle to grow as height enhancing exercises lead to increase wear and tear of muscles so you need to have high protein diet (non-vegeterian: eggs, chicken, fish and for vegeterian: sprouted pulses, soybean etc)
