Answer 1

If you are still within the growing age then perhaps you can add a few inches by eating a balanced diet and leading an active life. A nutritious diet that includes fruits and vegetables, dairy, cereals, meat, and plenty of water will aid the natural process for enhancing height. A good and proper night’s sleep is also essential for the growth process. Taking part in active sports along with some stretching exercises can have a cumulative effect on human growth. There is not much we can do to grow taller after puberty. There are many products in the market today that claim to increase height of adults, but they are all scams without sufficient scientific evidence. Surgical options, though available, are EXTREMELY RISKY and of course expensive. This leaves us with basically two options.

1. Stretching Exercises: - These exercises will help you improve your posture. You’ll be surprised that how much of “Height” is hidden behind your slouched back. You can, at any age, add an inch or two of height by simply improving your posture. Follow the link below for information on specific height enhancing exercises:

2. Second, you can create a “Taller” effect by following some smart fashion techniques. You can easily add another inch or two of “illusionary height” by improving your dress coordination. The link below can provide some input on height increase through fashion effect:

Good luck

Answer 2

Boys can even grow up to 21 years old or a few more years after that. Yes you will still grow and you are quite tall already.

Answer 3

You are already quite tall; you got at least 3 more years for becoming taller.

To have an estimation add 13 cm to ur mothers height (cm) add this with your father height in cm and divide it by two.

Answer 4

THIS IS ALL IN THE GENES. YOU MAY GROW AN INCH OR TWO MORE, BUT I WOULD NOT HOLD MY BREATH.
IF YOU WANT TO PLAY BASKETBALL PRACTICE JUMPING. THIS WOULD GIVE YOU THE MOST BENEFIT FOR THE SPORT.
WE CAN'T ALL BE LIKE KAREEM ABDUL JABAR, 7.2.
BUT, WHO'S EVEN A BETTER PLAYER?
MICHAEL JORDAN, HE'S 6 FEET 6 INCHES, BUT HE CAN REALLY JUMP AND THAT'S WHY HE'S BEEN THE GREATEST!
