How do people grow taller?

Hi all, I was wondering how someone can grow taller even if they do not necessarily have the genetics for growing to say, six feet. I have been told that by drinking a lot of milk and and sleeping a lot are good methods. Would eating a lot or weightlifitng help? Thanks a lot.

 

as a person who paid some attention in medical world (my major is biophysic), i say you have two ways of doing so

the painful way - seperate your leg bones a little bit while fixing the position with clamp, screw anything, let your leg bones naturally heal themselves. As your legs heal everyday, adjust the clamps to be further aprat a little bit everyday until your are satisfy with the height and wait for your legs to fully heal.

the not painful way - don't bother it. Our body is a gift of God and parents. Since your are from roc, you should know "skin and hair of our body are given by parents". We have no right to reject it, complain about it anything but love it.

Besides, if one doesn't have the genes to grow tall, than one don't grow tall naturally, EVER. Even with the needed genes, one still might not grow tall if not enough nutrient were presented during young age.

 

Eating a lot and weightlifting does indeed make you grow, not sure though if that's the kind of growing you have in mind.

 

I personally enjoy only being 5'7"

 

I once had a coach, who told me that you could improve your growth by doing a lot of stretching. Could sound i little bit like the painful way Teekc describes though...

 

Well you can take certain substanses, hormones for example. You get taller, but also screwed up. Knee problems are a common problem. www.growtaller.com can give you some tips.
http://www.growthburst.com/ sounds like a scam.

Anyway, get used to your height... I myself would like to be taller as a basketball player, but its not gonna happend, Im gonna have to settle for 6'0.

 

Eat a lot of peanut butter (or Calve pindakaas), it helped for me, I'm 1.92 not sure what that is in american measerement.

 

Stick your feet in manure, water daily and get lots of sunshine. I hear classical music helps too.

 

hey thanks for all the advice u guys.

Teekc, does the leg breaking thing really work? I would think that your legs would probably have some problems later in life if you broke them so many times.

Anyways, thanks again guys

 

@Apeman - That's about 6' 3.5".

@Abomination -

 

It's ok for one to be small in stature if they are big in heart.

 

How old are you? You stop growing at 19 yo I think. Remember Ricky Martin? He needed to be much taller to do some proper modeling, I think he tried everything but he didn't get any bigger.

 

I think it's even later than that Sarevok. RJ, know a few folk who grew to around six foot in just last year, when he was really quite short before.

 

I know that eating a lot of turnips can help. Why, cousin Gertrude from down the road grew from 4'5 to 4'6 by eating turnips!

 

If you are bend on growing to giant proportions, don't overdo it, people taller than 2 meters often die young because their hearths can't keep up.

 

Tie weights to your feet then glue your hands to a second story window ledge. Hang around for a while.

Note: Can be alternated between weights on feet to weights on hands.

Note(2): Helps to have a friend around to help you down.

Note(3): This was all sarcasm.

 

duh, anything that defies or denies the nature is bounded to be problematic.

 

If you want to be taller weightlifting is actually a bad idea as it, in fact, hinders growth. This is why they set a minimum age for gymnasts in the olympics

 

Wear bigger shoes. Now stfu .

 

Actually, if you're still growing, weightlifting is much more likely to stunt your growth than help it.

I probably shouldn't say this, but statistically shorter people live longer.

There is no predefined age for halting of growth. Average for girls to stop growing is 12-15. Average for guys is 17-22. As with all things, there are exceptions to these, but few girls keep growing past 16 and few guys keep growing past 22.
