jaleena- yes u can gain some more cms for another three years as of now ur 16.
listen carefully- there is no food for gaining weight.
u have to do some simple exercises-
just c whether nearby park or ground where rings or bars r there.
daily hang on them and swing.
secondly lie down and stretch ur body from hand to toe
thirdly do some forward bending sideways and backward bending
by inhaling deep breaths. c all this with doc. consultation if u have any chronic problem,
otherwise a normal person can do it.

After a lengthy search I found that there is no proven easy way to
grow taller. Especially not with simple stretches or pills. There
are several exercise programs that claim to straighten your posture
and give a “taller appearance”. The most popular of these is
Stott-Pilates Exercises.
There are two proven medical procedures that can increase your height,
Human Growth Hormone Replacement and Limb Lengthening Surgery.
Unfortunately both can have negative side effects.
_Limb Lengthening surgery_
The surgery was originally used to help correct deformities (i/e:
severe asymmetry in the limbs) but has recently been used to increse
the height of “Little People” (dwarves and people born with
achondroplasia). Though this procedure is controversial within the LP
community, it can be viewed as a “necessary” medical procedure,
whereas yours would be for vanity and not covered by surgery. I don’t
think you’d be able to find an ethical surgeon to perform the
operation, even if you could afford it.
It’s probably much more than you’re willing to go through since it
takes several years, and the potential complications include:
bending/twisting of the bone at the site where it is cut, nerve
damage, and paralysis of the limb.
_Human Growth Hormone Replacement_
In the US Human Growth Hormone is available by prescription only for
regimented treatment; any place that is offering it for sale over
the counter is either operating illegally or selling something else.
Some foreign countries such as Mexico sell it without prescription.
Be warned however, HGH will not just make you taller, it will make you
bigger all around. It was recently implicated in the Major League
Baseball streoids scandal.
Human Growth Hormone will make you taller, but not safely so.
It sounds like your best bet is the aforementioned Stotts Pilate
Exercises. Information about Pilates is included in the useful links
section of this answer.
If nothing works, don’t worry. If you are only 18 there is still a
chance that you will grow taller.

I have seen that stretching works, not a lot but enough to notice over time. My brother in law stretched everyday 3 times a day-strenuously. Within six months he was taller than my husband. They both were 6ft, he grew 1ft within a years time. He is now 6’2. He is athletic, he runs and exercises as well as eats very healthy, but most importantly he stretches alot. Stretching expands your muscles giving you more flexibility. Look at most basketball players, they all are not genetically tall–calisthenics!

Acupuncture is another holistic medicine that is effective in treating chronic headaches. An acupuncturist presses the pressure points and nerves on the body and this alleviates the pain due to chronic headaches.
