   Hi

   There are some specific methods that can help you to increase your height.
   check these helpful methods to grow taller naturally:

   You need to eat the right foods

   It’s very important to eat foods that are rich in proteins.
   for instance:
   Milk, fish, eggs, and lean meat are all forms of good protein.
   another recommended foods are foods that have plenty of amino acids and vitamins.
   Be aware that the biggest threats to your growth are caffeine, junk food and refined sugar.

   Leg lengthening, spine lengthening and other exercises

   Doing the right exercises can be really helpful for growing taller. Swimming for example can help a lot to increase your growth potential.

   The meaning of less gravity in the water is more open bone areas for your body to fill them with new bone tissue. The free motion of swimming is very light on your body and greatly releases stress, which can be very bad to your growth potential. Try to swim about 3-4 times a week if you can.

   Good sleeping

   Getting a full night’s sleep each and every night is one of the best natural ways to grow taller..
   Get about 8 hours of sleep each night and take whatever steps you need to ensure that your sleep is uninterrupted as much as you can.

   Actually, the first 2 hours of sleep are when the most growth hormone is released into your system from your pituitary gland. Not getting enough sleep can lower the amount of growth hormone your body produces, which is very bad for you.

   Hope it helps

   there is really no answer for this one honey. your genetic makeup will have alot to do with your height. there is nothing you can take or eat to make you taller. just give it some time, you are still in the growing stage. and hey, there’s nothing wrong with being short. short ppl can be cute too!!

   Your height is genetically determined and no synthetic hormones will change that but you can wear high heels to boost your height temporarily. You can also eat foods which are high in calcium and proteins to help growth. I’m 17, 4ft 11in and I love being the lil’ shorty Just accept yourself for who you are.

   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.
