Growing Taller

Hi. Been a while since I last went on this site. I was just wondering if anybody knew of ways on how I can grow taller.

I'm only 4'10" (58 in or 147.32 cm) and I really want to grow at least 5 more inches. Please. I'm willing to do pretty much everything in my power to grow.

My mom is 5'2" and my dad is 5'8". My brother is maybe 5'6" and my sister is 5'4"?

I am 18 and a half years old and I really want to grow taller. Is that still possible? My height is taking a big toll on my self esteem. I would love to be taller.

So any advice? I got some exercises but how about pills? Food? I heard arginine helps. HGH supplements?

PLEASE HELP ME I AM BEGGING. Thanks.
 
I hate to break it to you but height is genetic. However, you could still have a bit of a growth spurt.


Just remember the height of a man isn't so much a number, but in his deeds.
 
But my siblings are at a desirable height! Dx Oh my goodness I will forever look short in pictures and social events. I shall forever have heels connected to my feet. I will never reach Emma Watson's height T_T Thanks for the pick up though. I think I'm a generally good person. Hah.
 
Maybe you can try exercises involving stretching, that might help a bit. I can't suggest any supplements or growth pills because I haven't tried them and besides, they might not be safe...better safe than regret it in the end. Sorry if I didn't help one bit, but hey, you can always wear heels. It'll make you feel sexier and taller. :)

Ok, first of all, you are the first person over 8 years old that I have ever heard refer to themselves as "(insert age) AND A HALF" years old. Hilaaaaarious.

Secondly, you're 18 (sorry, 18 AND A HALF) and you don't know that you can't control how tall you are? HAHAHA, what school do you go to? I just want to make sure I neeeeever send my kids there. :willy_nilly:
 
You can try taking supplements but I doubt it would do any good to your height. Besides, height is really genetic. It's like you wanna get a tan if you're born white.
 
He PandaQuill,
You could grow some more, but don't know! My son was always shorter then his class mates, they all called him "pea wee". He was about 5' 7" in his senior year. But after he graduated he made it to 6' 1". Are you on any kind of medication that could keep you from growing taller? You may want to asked your family doctor.

That's how some people say their ages in my country. I'm sorry you're not aware of that. Where are you from again?

And it's possible to increase one's height. Some were able to increase their heights by 2-3 inches by taking supplements, stretching and improving their postures. I was just asking some of the smarter folks here if they knew OTHER ways. And girls can grow even at the age of 22.

I forgive you. You probably didn't know any better. :) I'm just trying to get some options and opinions here.

You think that people can increase their height by taking supplements, as if we can pick and choose how tall we are, and you say that I'M the one who doesn't know any better?

:giggles:
 
Height doesn't make the man or the woman, its the man/woman inside the body that counts! The body is just our house for a short time.

Lose weight to feel good and be healthy!!

OBVIOUSLY you can't pick and choose. You CAN help promote growth though.

Pretty much. I'm not going to bother listing meds that help promote growth. They're usually for people who are experiencing puberty though. I was just wondering if anyone knew meds for people a little past puberty.

And get over yourself. You're almost 30 for God's sake.
 
Well according to my search you "can" grow until age twenty and to my surprise there are several exercises you can use to grow taller without having to get medication or undergo surgery. Good stretches whether you grow taller or not. Won't hurt to try!
Anna....

1. Cobra stretch
The first exercise is going to have you lying on the floor face down with your hands on the floor under your shoulders. Your chin will lead the way and your spine is raised up. You want to raise your back up as much as you can without feeling any pain whatsoever and hold the position for 20 to 30 seconds. You can complete this exercise every morning and night depending on your preferred time.

2. Leg stretch
Leg stretching is the next workout exercises to grow taller. This can be done by sitting down and spreading the legs apart as much as you can Then, reach out and touch your toes without bending your knees. Hold this position for about 20 seconds then repeat the same thing for the other leg.

3. Dolphin stretch
Dolphin stretch is the last exercise that will help you grow taller. This can be done by laying face down with your hands at both sides. From there, slowly lift both of your legs to a point that is not painful but is giving you a good stretch and hold the position for 10 seconds. Rest and repeat the procedure as many times as you want.

Good stretches? Sure. Make you taller? Doubtful as height is based on your bones. Don't know of any stretches that lengthens bones.

Still, very good stretches.
 
Oh, not the bones most likely. The stretches are probably aiming at the cartilage in the spine to decompress them. They could expand or something over time haha. Probably help straighten the posture too. But yeah, I hope my epiphyseal or something plates haven't closed yet.
 
Heee, true Jericho, but muscles is the foundation for our bones and keeps them straight. When we get older we lose height.

You made my day Jericho!

Plus I lost 1.8 pounds......"hurray" for me!!
 
Their is still hope

Hello,

Their maybe still is some hope for you. You need to go find out if your growth plates have closed. If not your in good shape and if so it's still possible you could still squeak out and inch or two.
You are not "stuck" with your height if are an adolescent. Just because Mom is 5 foot tall and Dad is 5'8'' doesn't mean anything. As long as you have someone in your family somewhere with a little height you still can grow with the right supplementation. I am 5'6'' and my ex is 5' 7'' and both my sons are 6 feet tall. My brother is 6'3'' and my grandfather is 6'4''. So as long as someone in the family is tall you can potentially reach that height. Your body is not producing enough testosterone or enough HGH for you to reach your potential height right now. So you need to find a Dr or a nutritionist who specializes in HGH supplementation and find out what your body is lacking.
It's like, if you have someone 4'10'' in your family and the tallest one is 6'3'', you will fall somewhere inbetween depending on your bodies absorption of nutrients and output of testosterone and HGH. If you get all the right components your body needs your body can reach it's potential of 6'3''.
Go soon before it is too late and call around around to get different nutritionist pricing, it can be as much as $1200 a month down to $150 for the same thing, so be sure to get multiple opinions.
