Answer 2

How can I grow taller?


Question

I am 16 and have the opportunity of becoming a model, I would however be more successful if I could grow about two inches taller. I have been checking on the Internet, and can only seem to find solutions that seem rather dodgy. I don't want to cause any damage to my bones by using inferior products.

Answer

No, I'm afraid there is no safe unnatural way to become taller. Don't trust ANY of the products advertised on the Internet that suggest otherwise!

Yours sincerely

Eat plenty of fresh fruits.

Answer 3

growth is a genetically determined factor, like skin color or eyecolor. men grow upto the age of 21 and women upto 19-20. the growth is based on the hormones that is secreted by the pitutary gland, called growth hormone. the various theories including pull ups, basket ball, protein food consumption have no actual truth in them confirmed in medical text books.
u should not try for any products that r sold either , as they r harmful or they are bogus.
the only treatment available is hormone replacement. but it is not without side effects and is cetainly not recommended for a normal healthy person.
and if u r a girl, it would certainly cause more harm than good by adding more growth hormone to ur system.
aerobics and healthy food and leave the rest to ur genes.
and even if ur short, dont worry. have good self esteem and learn to love urself

Answer 4

try the easy, inexpensive natural treatment I recommend here. In fact, I just read this yesterday. Before then, I did not know there was anything that helped growth.

Also milk is not good as the high protein causes one to excrete calcium which is needed for growth (It is actually correlated with causing rather than preventing osteoporosis). This treatment works positively on calcium levels and how it is processed.

Even if it doesn't help, it has multiple health benefits, especially if taken with raw honey.
Good luck!

Answer 5

Take up basketball, martial arts, kickboxing or rope jumping. I once read in a health magazine that says sleep also plays an important part in a growing kid's height. So make sure you get enough sleep and are in bed before 11pm.

Answer 6

First u should go 4 a medical check-up of yr internal part of the body,if u have any hormonal deficiency,it might be possible that yr size is due to lack or excess of that hormon.
If Dwarfism is there,u shoud treated with medicine which r belongs to thyroid hormon.
you shoud go 4 a homoeopathic physician 4 best result b'coz homoeopahic mediciens act very well without any side effect.
I can not priscribe medicien b'coz in homoeopahy we priscribe medicine according to yr nature, constitution,behaviour patarn,yr craving or aversion to the food or drink,yr prsonal histroy, family histroy,past histroy of any suffering etc.
I hope u follow my advise to get besl result.
