How Can i increase my height?

Question

I am 15 years old and just 4'11"(and a half). Isnt there any exercise that can help me?My parents are not too long. they are about 5'5"

Answer 1

You height is determined by genetics and some "environment". To maximize your genetic potential, you should get enough to eat, especially you're at puberty age. That means a healthy diet with maybe even a little extra. Don't give in to the super skinny fads, you'll be stunting your growth for life for a stupid unhealthy image.

Also there's evidence that aerobic exercises that have running and jumping activates growth hormones (running, basketball, volleyball, etc)

Answer 2

ok...im heaps short too and im 17....i most definetly know what your on about....but dont worry. I still worry sometimes, so i suppose im being hypocritical. But, honestly, I know some really short girls who dont worry about it, and they are fine, they have boyfriends etc. I honestly think girls notice height more then guys. Also, i work at a pie shop and you would be surprised at the people you see. There are HEAPS of shorties out there, and some of them have boyfriends so tall i get a crick in my neck just looking at them :P

Your still growing anyway....just exercise and eat well and you'll grow to your maximum height....they say thats why our generation has so many tall people....everyone has access to their dietery needs when they are growing unlike those who lived a generation ago.... :)

Anyways...you cant do anything to increase height......steroids might do something (but i wouldnt risk it). I once heard about a girl who got some doctor to break the bones in her legs....but pins in between the breaks...and stretch her legs to make them longer.....WHAT WAS SHE THINKING?!?!?!?!?!

But....hey....shorties are the bomb....Gandi was short, Napoleon, Hitler (although i dont think we want to compare with him)

Anyways....i hope my rambling helped...wow i said alot.

Answer 3

It's all in the genes - but you might make it to 5' 7" with the right food & exercise. See a doctor - don't take advice from people if you don't know their qualifications

Answer 4

Play sports and have Yogurt and Milk everyday, I don't know if it's just me, Or it really works, I grow about an inch every 6 months, I'm 16 and i'm 5 foot 8, And still growing, Like i said, I don't know if it's just me, Or it really works, Might depend on your jeans.

Answer 5

There is no way that you can make yourself any taller. Actually, though, you're still growing, so you'll probably grow taller naturally as time goes by. Give yourself time and don't worry about it. 'There's nothing wrong with not being tall.

Answer 6
