If a 21 year old is 5 feet tall how can he become more taller?

Answer 1

You are probably still growing at 16 so you have that going for you. Here are some more tips: * Don't do any really heavy weight training exercises until you've stopped growing as the growth plates at the ends of your bones may be adversely affected therefore affecting your growth. Also, there are spinal compression factors with some exercises. * Improve your posture. Good posture can add inches to someone's height if they start with poor posture. Alexander technique or yoga can help here. * Stretching and hanging exercises will be most effective in lengthening the spine. A healthy, supple spine with healthy discs and good posture is the key.

Answer 2

There is a medical procedure that can cause your body to lengthen a few inches, but it is unnatural. It requires surgeons to break your leg bones and carefully space them a few inches apart, using metal brackets. Bone will fill this new area and make you a few inches taller. However, it can cause a lot of pain, and you cannot do much for a few weeks while you are healing. The spot where they broke the bone is also very fragile for the rest of your life. There is not miracle pill or 'stretching machine' that you can use. In other words, if it is in your heredity to be short, there is nothing you can do about it, except spend thousands on a dangerous and painful operation.

Answer 3

A child's growth stops when the growth plates in the bones close, which is part of the final stages of puberty. While there is no specific age that puberty ends for everybody, it is generally felt that by age 21, a person has reached their maximum height. There are no nutritional supplements or hormone therapy that will increase height once the growth plates have closed. There are surgical options available to people, such as those with certain forms of dwarfism, which lengthen the legs by cutting the bones, and attaching adjustable external fixation devices, which are gradually moved apart as the bone heals over a six-to twelve week period, depending on the lengthening desired. This surgery is controversial when undertaken for cosmetic purposes; that is, not to correct a deformity or underlying injury. Orthopedic operations that involve external appliances screwed into the bone, carry a risk of deep infection which may result in the amputation of the limb and is a risk to be seriouisly considered when talking to your surgeon.
