How do you grow taller when you’re still a teen?
I’m 14 and I’m 152 cm (5 feet).
Obviously, I need to grow quite a lot.
How do you do that?
Things I’m looking for — what to eat, how much to eat, stretches, sports, how much sleep…
Bonus points for not gaining tons of weight (:
Muchos gracias.

yoghurt, cheese, and boiled chicken. Your bones need phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium while your muscles need water, protein and carbohydrates to grow. Since you are growing taller, both your muscles and bones are getting bigger and longer. Don’t waste your money or your health on drugs, alcohol or cigarettes.
Have the hair style that makes you appear taller. In order to appear taller, a hair style should be thin at the sides and higher up top, which can make you appear as much as an inch taller Avoid clothes with horizontal lines. Belts are horizontal so make sure you conceal it in your clothes.
Avoid clothes with a tartan or checked pattern. Avoid cuffs that makes your legs appear shorter.
• Wear clothes with vertical lines or striping. Vertical lines or stripping make a person appear thinner,
and thinness in turn gives impression of more height.
Wear shoes that will make you appear taller. If you are a female, this should be easy since you can find a lot of female shoes with 2 or 3 inches’ heels. For males, wear shoes with thick soles to add the illusion of height.
To increase your height, it is important that your blood is oxygenated as blood provides nourishment to your bones. Regular breathing will also purify your blood. There are three phases to breathing:
1. Inhaling – take in air into your body through the nose
2. Retaining – hold your breath inside your body
3. Exhaling – blow out air from your body through the mouth
It is during deep sleep that growth hormone does its job of thickening and lengthening your bones. So appropriate sleeping time (not the longer, the better) and correct sleeping posture is very important for your body to grow. Sleep is defined as a natural periodic state of rest for the mind and body, in which the eyes usually close and consciousness is completely or partially lost, so that there is a decrease in bodily movement and responsiveness to external stimuli.
During deep sleep, growth hormone produced by your pituitary gland is released into your blood stream and travel through your body and causes the thickening and lengthening of your bones. Therefore, you should achieve "deep level" sleep on a daily basis in order to coordinate your affords of exercises and proper diet. The following are some helpful tips on how to easily achieve deep level sleep.
Sleep in a comfortable and firm mattress.
Sleep in a room that is dark, quiet and fresh smelling.
Sleep with clean, soft, and comfortable clothes.
Keep your hands and feet warm. Scientific studies have shown that warm hands and feet will help induce REM (rapid eye movement) deep sleep. Cold hands and feet will keep you from deep sleep.
Drink a big glass of water before going to bed and when you wake up; this will help clean out your system.
Practice total relaxation and deep breathing for a few minutes before you go to bed.
Relax from head to toe. Close your eyes and relax every part of your body.
Maintain a habit of sleeping at the same time everyday, including weekends.
Sleep on your back with a flat pillow under your knees. This will align your spine properly and prevent any back aches caused by sleeping in a bent position.
Undoubtedly, the quality, quantity, and type of food we eat affect our height, growth, and health. We cannot emphasize enough how important your food intake is in determining how much growth you can possibly obtain. The types of food you eat will either improve or decrease your growth potential.
After careful consideration and research, the daily content of protein, carbohydrates, fats and water can be achieved if the following items were taken regularly.
Carrots Fish Liver
Egg Yolk Beef Red Meat
Milk Cheese Apples
Green Vegetables Potatoes Nuts
Yellow Vegetables Almonds Bananas
Peanuts Chicken Beans
Peas Salt 6-8 glasses of water per day
If you eat a lot of peanut butter, your height will not necessarily stop. Neither does masturbation stop height.
What might stop you from growing is smoking, drugs, alcohol, lack of sleep, stress, digestive problems, or lack of exercise.
Height Growth Products : The first approved natural product for height increase is Super-Growth http://www.sgheight.com or http://www.super-growth.org with this product it is possible to gain additional height growth even after puberty.
I love Super-Growth . I’ve been using it as a height booster for several months now This stuff is great, It is rare for a product to live up to its advertised hype. But this one actually does. It Works as advertised. Also, this specific product advertises improved joint health. I injured my knee and could find no relief, but after 3 weeks of using the Super-Growth I no longer have knee pain. I have tried other height gaining products, but I have seen the best results from this product. My height continues to grow .
you might want to try out HGH(human growth homones)….
i was 173cm when i was 19(my puberty stopped when i was 17). and after taking HGH for 2 month, my height became 180cm.
however, there might be come side effects when it comes to taking HGH. i did not notice any though.
eat, eat and eat, sleep, sleep and sleep. it’s said when a baby is sleeping, they’re growing. rest/sleep are very important in the teen years and oh, eat good food, not junk. your body will grow as your gene’s are programed.
buy special shoes ( cheat)
ok, here is a theory for you, that has worked for some! meditation/hypnosis. for instant. Fish and alligators grow in size depending on their enviorment. The bigger your tank, the bigger your alligator will grow, the smaller the tank, the smaller it will grow.. the reason why they do not grow as tall as they possibly can, is because their reality/world is only their tank that they live in, so there for, they only see themselves as they are in that little tank. we are not so much different from them. Everything is made of energy…. E=MC^2. and all energy is intelligent, being, our body’s know how to heal our self, our body’s can tell what is hot, cold, transfer different senses to sight, taste, hear, touch etc. and our body once knew how to grow…. and it still does. all you have to do, is change your perception, and know that you will grow taller, just as jesus teaches in the bible…… believe that you already have it, and it will come… this is what energy is…. we are intelligent energy, inside of intelligent energy…. its possible, but my knowledge is only limited…. here is a website i stumbled across http://www.hypnosis-kids.com/grow-taller-hypnosis.htm
Drink a lot of milk that helps a lot because my little sister is 11 and im 13 and she’s like 6 feet tall because she drinks milk ALL THE TIME!
