There is NOTHING you can do to grow taller??

Question

Im 14 and like 5'6 and i was just wondering... i know that the majority of your height depends on genetics. But there isn't ANYTHING that i could do to help myself grow taller or contribute to height growth?? thanks

Answer 1

No. There are some serious drugs that can help seriously short people but you're not short. And you're also not done... you will keep growing for years.

Just eat pretty well.

Answer 2

Forget it. Your height is one of the factors that is already programmed into your genetic makeup from the time you were conceived. The best thing you can do is live and eat healthy so that all your body organs, and your bones especially, get the nutrition that they need to sustain their own health and wellness and carry you through the years ahead of you. You will never regret doing that. Your bones, are the scaffolding of your whole body. You cannot become taller than you were designed to be. BUT , if you don't feed your bones with good nutrition, they can lose their density and you can actually LOSE height. A lot of people think this only happens to women, by the way, but it happens to men too. So whichever sex you are (I suspect you are male) take care of those bones.

Answer 4

I grew half an inch in the last 2-3 years and i'm a 29 yo male.
Try Xyience's growth hormone analog (plant based), not cow based. You are under 18, so do so at your own peril!!
Doesnt seem to be harmful.

Answer 5

Protien and exercise. The orientals were small until they began eating alot of beef (protien), they are much taller now. Exercise stresses your body and bones for growth. Early Astronauts lost bone mass in their weightless environments.

Answer 6

Sorry Kiddo, but there is nothing to make you grow taller. Unless you are willing to shell out millions of dollars to get your genetics changed.

Answer 7

You're only 14~females will grow until they're 16. Consider yourself lucky, I barely skim 5 ft. Good Luck!

Answer 8

there is treatment with human growth hormone.but as 5.6' is actually 2 inches above average height(which is only 5.4'),no dr would seriously treat u with this drug.its basically for seriously short people,to achieve ann average height,not for an above-average person to become tall! ps-5.4 is average female height.

Answer 9

Most short children do not have a serious growth problem and grow about 2 inches each year between the ages of 3 and early adolescence when sex hormones contribute to an even faster growth rate. Most of us reach an adult height, which is about the same as our parents'. However, there are diseases that can cause poor growth. If you ever had any accidents that could cause serious damages to your body or if you just feel that there is something wrong with your health, this should be discussed with your physician. If you are not aware of anything abnormal which could slow down your height increase, most likely nothing is wrong with your body and you have a great chance to grow taller.

Some children grow very slowly and are considered short amongst their peers until they gain enough inches to become average height and even taller in one single summer. Are there any explanations to this? Does it just happen all on its own or do we make it happen? My answer is: it happens when teenagers switch their activities to the ones that are perfect for their growth, quite often without even being aware of it.

There is a certain age at which most people usually stop growing: men - 25, women - 21. It occurs shortly after puberty. However, these numbers can be changed! It is possible to continue growing until 25 for women and 27-30 for men. Certain exercises, physical activities, right diet, and other things which are important for human body's growth make growing taller possible even for those individuals who thought they reached the age when their growth has stopped.

An average person, no matter what height he or she is, has a potential to be 2 - 4 inches taller, and often - even more! Then why are most people shorter than they could be? Simply because they don't do everything to get the most out of their potentials and do not know how. That is why I have developed the program designed to get the most out of growth potentials for those who are not satisfied with their height.

There are many reasons for our lack of growth, but the most important one is the limited and unbalanced level of growth hormones in our body. It is growth hormones that grow the cells, bones, muscles, and organs of our bodies. Growth hormone is a protein produced particularly by the pituitary gland. Proteins are made of building blocks known as amino acids. Located in the center of our brain, the pituitary gland is often called the master gland because it controls the release of many of the body's hormones.



There are two unnatural ways to increase growth hormone level:

1) Using growth hormone - releasing products like glycine, glutamine, agrinine, ornithine, niacin, and 16 other amino acids which you can get with or without a prescription. Such substances and drugs are usually used by body builders. They are also useful for elderly people to increase their growth hormone level. Some of them are good for boosting immunity, protecting the liver, fighting cancer, helping rebuild body tissue after surgery or trauma, and many other treatments.

Because amino acids help produce growth hormones, some of them, with proper exercises, may be taken to increase your growth. However, I would not recommend doing this self-treatment without medical supervision, especially for children. Any of these drugs has to be taken with proper dosage and some of them with other drugs or nutrients. Improper usage may cost you serious problems.

Also, there are many side effects from using these products: diarrhea, low toxicity, headache, drowsiness, muscle spasms, dizziness, high blood pressure, nervousness, depression, hair loss, gaining weight, and many more.
So, be careful!


2) Another unnatural way to increase growth is the man-made growth hormone received by series of injections (which cost from $12,000 to 18,000 per year), prescribed after careful evaluation of a person's growth pattern and growth potential. These injections may help you to grow, but inducing growth too quickly may inhibit later growth.

In addition, unnatural growth hormones may produce other various side effects including: high cholesterol, diabetes, liver abnormalities, increased tissue stiffness, carpal tunnel syndrome, musculosketal disease, neuropathy, allergic reactions, pancreatitis, hyperglycemia, visual deterioration, headaches, vomiting, increased liver enzyme levels, increased sweating, edema, pain in general and back pain specifically. Pick the one you prefer. If you receive these injections, your body will adapt to this drug and will refuse to produce natural growth hormones after you stop receiving injections.

If you think these procedures are not for you, there are other ways to increase growth hormone release naturally, with no side effects! They are explained step-by-step in my book, "Growing Taller Secrets", and based on special diet, physical, mental exercises and other activities.

Genetically, every person has been "preprogrammed" to attain a certain height. However , most people never reach this height simply because they do not do everything right for their body to maximize growth. To make the most out of your potentials you need to learn how and use your knowledge!
