Help a sister out!?

Question

I want to grow taller. If I drink milk regulary throughout the day and do stretching excersise will I grow taller then. Oh, and I'll be 18 next month.

Answer 1

I really don't think anything will help.

Answer 2

You can do those things but no, it will not help you grow taller. Your height is determined by your heredity. There are many things that could stunt your growth, like malnutrition and smoking (smoking can cause osteoporosis, btw). There is a certain stage of development where Human Growth Hormone can be taken to potentially increase height, but there's no guarantee and it's potentially dangerous. HGH is usually only administered to treat a condition, and not being as tall as you want to be isn't exactly a medical crisis. You may also be finished growing--I reached my full glorious height of 5'4" at 15 and haven't budged since. The only thing you can do is eat nutritiously, exercise regularly, don't smoke, and accept what God gave you.

Answer 3

I'm pretty sure you'll grow taller if you drink milk daily and get your 3 a day of dairy products because calcium boosts your bone growth and strength. But you should drink milk daily anyways! haha.

Answer 4

Hi,

I would say u still have one more year to grow so lets be patient. As far as the harmonal therapy is concerned, the results have not been cost effective.

Regards,

Answer 5

Drink milk anyway so you won't tip over and break a hip when you're 50... but you're probably all done growing.

Answer 6

you've probably stopped growing by now, i'm 15 and i've stopped. you should ask your docter though he might know of a steroid you could take

Answer 7

No but, your still growing. So don't worry about it.
