No, if anything it will make you temporarily a few milimeters shorter by compacting the disks of cartiledge(sp?) between your vertabrae. You are tallest when you wake up in the morning because during deep sleep, all of the muscles in your back relax completely and your disks between your vertabrae become uncompressed. Stretching after waking up will help you be taller too but...alas, only temporarily. To be taller, hanging upside down from a bar for 30 minutes or so may help but, of course, it's temporary.....if you're female, make sure you're getting plenty of calcium in your diet. Notice elderly women who are stooped over - they're permanently shorter because of microscopic fractrures in their vertabrae - osteoporosis(sp?). Take a balanced multivitamin for Women too.
Good Luck!

Unfortunately, skipping ropes will not make you any taller than you are. However at 17 you have a potential year or two of growth left, so hang in there.

Doing workouts or ingesting milk won't help with top, yet the two do wonders to your well-being. Have an orthopedic xray your hands. they might seem and ESTIMATE how lots taller you would be--a kin checklist can, yet I pronounced an orthopedic as a results of fact (A) They take care of bones each and every of the time. (B) An orthopedic did that for me as a results of fact I had a topic on the returned of one of my hands. He expected i ought to alter into 5'6 or 5'7 some years in the past. I wound up being 5'4 a million/ 2. no longer undesirable, i assumed. top, notwithstanding, is broadly speaking a genetic subject--handed down out of your genealogy. once you're regular top--relatively, i do no longer comprehend what you mean regarding what I wrote pertaining to to myself--be grateful. think of pertaining to to the dwarfs.
