   No!

   Exercise does not stunt your growth and there is no age limit on starting to exercise.

   Height is generally genetic.

   Your height is determined by cells in your bones that are developed while you are in the womb, called osteoclasts and osteoblasts. They determine how tall you are, and how much you grow during certain periods of your life.

   In other words, no, your height is determined before you are even born. No use fighting it.

   You can work out at any age… it doesn’t matter if your 4 or 84.

   Yes, it is genetics.

   Stretching is actually a proven fact to lead to "some" natural growth. But its very rare, and unlikely. Still, its good exercise.

   But, your parents, and your ancestors genes are what determine your height.

   If you want to be taller just set that goal. Don’t think bad thoughts that you will forever be short just set your head into believing you’ll grow, believe me it works. The mind has not limit when used properly. Don’t try those things that stretch you out, they just pop your joints, and don’t try steroids they won’t work. l’ m 24 and i am 6’0 , my father 5’7 and mum 5’4. l was the same height as my father 8 months ago and l was always told that l would not grow over 5’7 , the height can’t be controlled , height was determined by your genetic ,inheritance etc. i was really fed up with these narrow- minded people around me and l hit the road for a solution. l have researched books , doctors and internet high and low for increasing height, and tried many growth boosters. From my experience what worked on me :
   1. Eat lots of Broccoli.
   2. Eat at least 250gr yougurt every day.
   3. Regular Swimming helps.
   4. Sleep without pillows, and sleep at least 8 hrs daily.
   5. Super-Growth works http://www.growtallersupplements.net or http://www.super-growth.org
   6. Use an inversion table for 20- 30 minutes every day.
   Follow the tips above and you’ll grow a few inches taller regardless of your age.
