Can I grow taller and how?

Question

***PLEASE READ BEFORE ANSWERING (Health Professionals preferred)***
I'm a male, 20 years old, 5ft 71/2 in. tall, 142 lbs. Firstly, am I even in puberty? I have a beard, but its not all over my jaw, and there isn't much body hair or growing pains, I think. I wanna be taller because I feel that many women around me are taller than I am (don't know if it matters, but I live in Texas). My dad is 5' 10", my mom is 5'2" (she says her father was well over 6'). I'm trying stretching, a little yoga, some cardio, I take Centrum and eat some fruits and veggies but mostly processed foods. I drink about 8 oz. of pure water a day and I sleep-in a lot (mainly weekends), but for 8 hrs on average. What else can I do to kick start the process? Or at least add muscle?

Answer 1

Just keep doing what your doing and get a x-ray of your wrist from your doctor.

Answer 2

At your age, there's nothing you can do that will increase your height. You have long passed puberty. 5'7½" at 142 lbs, sounds reasonably normal to me.

A word of advice, though, cut back on those processed foods and eat more fresh things. This won't help you get any taller, but it is much healthier for you.

Also, stand up straight. It will make you appear a little taller than you actually are.

Answer 3

Stretching, yoga or any other kind of method will not make you any taller. 5ft 71/2 in. isn't bad at all. Just be content with who you are. Eating right and excercising will add muscle.

Answer 4

your stuck at 5/7 dude if you want to add muscle then start hiting the iron and lay off the process foods and eat sensible naturalfoods

Answer 5

Russians inveted a method by braking legs ,but it takes about a month to heel ,and you can gain few inches .
They have some other methods as well .

Answer 6

well sorry dude but it was just genetics. but dont worry girls love little dudes too. there is this guy who is a senior and is 5ft but has biceps of a builder and all the girls are crazy for him so there is still hope.
