   Hi

   There are some specific methods that can help you to get taller.
   Here are some useful methods to grow taller naturally:

   Good sleeping

   Getting a full night’s sleep each and every night is one of the things that you must do if you want to grow taller.
   Get 8-9 hours of sleep each night and take whatever steps you need to ensure that your sleep is uninterrupted as much as you can.

   You should also know that the first 2 hours of sleep are when the most growth hormone is released into your system from your pituitary gland. If you will not sleep enough that can lower the amount of growth hormone your body produces, which is very bad for you.

   Eating 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.
   On the other hand you must know about some of the biggest threats to your growth potential: caffeine, junk food and refined sugar.

   Different exercises

   Daily physical exercise is also an important part of growing. 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 prevent your body from growing. Try to swim about 3-4 times a week if you can.

   Anyhow, don’t go out and buy those "wonder pills" that are offered all over the place, they just don’t work and you will spend your money for nothing. Why not? Well because the only scientific way the body grows is through the release of our natural height increasing hormone called HGH in short.

   There are very few programs that actually work and can help you growing taller naturally by 2-4 inches in just a couple of weeks.

   people say your body stops growing around this time, but it’s been proven to be false, your bbody may not stop growing for another few years, so give it chance, you may have a sudden growth spurt! and i dont really think thers is anything to MAKE you grow. your body will do as it wishes unfortunatly.

   I had stopped growing when I was 12, but then my sophomore year of college I grew another inch. So it’s definitely possible that you could grow a little bit more but probably not more than an inch or two.

   If you are past the age when you’re prone to growth spurts and bone development, don’t lose heart-these dieting tips apply to you just as much as they do to any healthy growing teenager. By getting enough proteins, amino acids, calcium, and calories, you are doing your part to prevent bone damaging diseases, such as osteoporosis.

   It is still possible.
   * ADVICE FOR HEIGHT

   Good intake of calcium daily as found in various foodstuffs like tonned milk, banana, ragi, nachni, yogurt, my favourite nachos with cheese..
   a best way i cud advice is to have milk shakes(chocolate, coffee flavoure) 2-3 times a day as an replacement for tea, coffee is a good alternative…

   Good sleep aftr exercises helps ur bones to relax and expand.. Atlest 8hrs good sleep at night…
   Remember food without exercises or exercises without food wont help you much.
   Also there are genetics n familial relationships related to height.. i.e if either ur parents are short heighted or either ur brother , sister.. than there are little chances for increase in height…BUT keep a positive attitude follow the daily regimen of food n exercises.If you goin to gym regularly, i wud advice not to perform any weight lifting exercises… stritctly NO..

   Herbal Solutions:
   Being a medical student myself, the best advice i wud like to give is " herbal remedies"

   These herbal growth remedies are found to be the permanent cure of short height. The herbal product can be bought from http://www.howtogrowtallerfast.net

   The herbal product have a certain procedure for treating the short height. The herbs correct the chemical as well as hormonal imbalances which is the actual cause of the short height. These imbalances lead to the persistent short height and posture. The best thing about super-growth is that it is effective even after puberty.

   Share the knowledge to othrs too if possible…

   Hi sos41,

   There are many things that you can do to get taller, and the most important of these is doing stretches for your spine and legs. If you do these certain stretches you can see some good results.

   The nice thing about these stretches is that they can be done first thing in the morning right when you get out of bed, they take only a few minutes, and they are good for your health in general. Here are a few to get you started:

   * The Leg Stretch- Sit down on the floor with your legs spread as far apart as is comfortable. With one hand, reach for your toes on the same side of your body. Now with your other hand, reach for your other foot. If you can’t reach your feet comfortably, do as far down your leg as possible. The most important thing is to keep your spine straight and pivot from the hips, without arching your spine.

   * The Bow Down- This one is exactly how it sounds. Stand upright with your hands on your hips. Keep them here throughout the exercise. Leading with your head, bend forward as far as possible. Keep your chin off of your chest and try not to bend your knees.

   * The Yawn- Another simple but effective stretch. Think of your stretch when you get out of bed in the morning. Stand with your hands held together behind your neck, then look upward and back as far as possible.

   Do them 10 times each for about 15 seconds each rep. Those should get you off to a good start. There are other factors involved though if you want to see faster growth. You need to also consider diet, supplements, and other exercises/stretches.

   There are programs online that put this all together for you, but watch out as a lot of the grow taller programs are rip offs.

   Good luck!
