To the point, the good way is to eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly to be able to stay within the healthy weight range.

How can I increase my height by 4 inches?

At 19 and 4'9, you can still grow some as your body is still developing. Genetics are the main factor in the height of a person, thus, if your parents are short, you will, too. Consuming a balanced diet containing calcium and protein can promote the proper development of bones. Besides good postures, and activities like stretching and yoga, physical exercise can also aid the proper development of your bone length.

How can I increase my height at 18?

At 18, your bones are nearly done growing, so a significant increase in height is unlikely. However, focusing on good nutrition, regular exercise, and proper posture can help you make the most of your height. It's also a good idea to consult an endocrinologist to check if everything is okay with your growth hormones.

Can height increasing capsules boost my height effectively?

Capsules improving health are still not a thing. The fundamentals of the height physical variables are inherited from genes, most of them given by the parents. Nutrition, exercise, and sleep, on the other hand, can positively influence your growth potential. While eating a nutritious diet, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep can be good factors of your full height potential.
