Is it possible for me to grow taller?
Hi,
I’m 18 years old, so is it still possible for me to grow taller? (I’m 5’4")
Also, if it is, then is it true that by swimming and/or playing basketball, people can get taller?
From what I’ve heard and read, swimmers and basketball players stretch their bodies when they play, so that stretches their muscles. And like rubber bands, muscles never return to their original size. Due to that, the bones have more room to grow.
Is any of this true?
Thank you for you help.

Well, you seem excited about growth
I’m not so sure of athletics being a form of growth, but I can tell you that humans grow in stages if I may.
What I mean by this is that, your genetic make up is responsible for growth and other things also aid in this process. One major aspect of growth is nutrition
I’ll tell you this, homo sapiens (people) undergo, mitosis, which is the process of cell division in order to obtain a permanent increase in size. They grow from conception and don’t stop growing for roughly 21 years… I’m guessing you’re male, so you have a growth spurt at about 12/13 to about 15/16 years of age, then you continue to grow until you’re 21 or so. At this age your weight will fluctuate until you die!!
I hope this helps
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.
Growth Products : The best natural product for height increase can be found at this website http://www.growtallersupplements.net with this product it is possible to gain additional height growth even after puberty.
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 product 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.
Hi… yes it is actually possible for you to grow taller using grow taller exercises and by also eating specific foods which can increase the amount of natural growth hormone your body produces.
I would highly recommend staying away from grow taller surgery, which does also work, but which can be incredibly painful and take months to heal from.
I have used the following secrets and they have helped me grow taller so try to follow them.
Don’t drink pop, don’t eat junk food. These foods and drinks are quite useless, and I would never eat or drink them. Instead, eat foods rich with many vitamins and nutrients. You need two important nutrients for your bones to grow nicely and healthy – calcium and vitamin D. Calcium helps to build and maintain your bones. Vitamin D helps you absorb calcium. Both of these nutrients are abundant in foods and drinks like milk, cheese, yogurt, tuna, eggs, chicken and etc.
For milk, drink 2% and not 3% because it will make you fat.
I have seen many reports which show that our brain releases more human growth hormone when the entire body is calm and relaxed – so you have to sleep more in a comfortable environment. Make sure you sleep at night and make sure that your neck is properly aligned with the rest of your body. I bought a $50 pillow and used a good bed.
Proper exercise can help your body grow taller, i used hanging from monkey bar and stretching. Good exercises include a variety of stretches, yoga, basketball, swimming and etc. Make sure you exercise daily for about 30 minutes for good growth (i used 40 mins). Also make sure to maintain a good posture which I learned how to keep perfectly after a lot of practice. I used a mirror and I made my entire body straight as I looked at my reflection.
I have also used growth hormone boosters – in total I have grown just over 2.1 inches in 3 months, which is a long time but I can live with that. You see, I tried only exercise and diet tips but after tons of research I now know that to grow taller more growth hormone is needed.
Your growth hormone levels decrease as you grow older. This makes it very important to boost your HGH. Before the growth hormone (which I took for 3 months) I tried all kinds of diets, sleep methods and exercises but nothing worked! After the growth hormone boost, I actually gained a bit of height.
By the way, for the growth hormone boosting, I used a dietary supplement for 3 months – which I fully researched. Also, I have met some people who have used limb lengthening, so that is also an option… if you want it.
The website for the growth hormone boosting is http://www.heightsecrets.com and the website for the limb lengthening is http://www.limblengthening.com/
Good luck all, this is my secret to growing taller.
