Diet to increase height

Height is influenced by multiple factors
Height of any person is influenced by many factors, like genetic history (how tall are your parents), good nutrition (does your daily diet include foods that are important for bone growth and bone density), onset and end of puberty (most people reach their final height by the time they are 19 years).

Increase in height after 19 years maybe unlikely
For most individual after 19 years growth epiphyses (the areas of the bones in your arms and legs that grow) have closed and the bone cannot get any longer and once that happens you cannot become taller.

Nutrients that help increase height
You need nutrients both for bone growth as well as muscle growth to help increase their height like protein foods plus foods rich in Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Vitamin D and Onega 3 fats; ...more

Do some exercises and take advice on diet from properly qualified and experienced professionals.
However, avoid any medicines for such a purpose. There are natural limitations for further growth in the height. You are already 18, so do not expect any magical formula. Do not believe con-men.

Hand yourself ( kidding). Try to stretch your backbone by some means. Swimming is also a good exercise.
