How can you grow tall?

Answer 1

If you are an adult, you cannot grow taller by any natural means. In some cases, painful and expensive surgery may (or many not) be able to help a little.

The maximum height you can reach as an adult depends on the height of your family (and adequate nutrition). Tall parents have tall children, as a rule. Children can maximise the height they will reach by eating a healthy well balanced diet with protein for growth and calcium and vitamin D for healthy bones and muscles.

Look around and see how tall your parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles are. If you are in your early teens and a girl you are probably as tall as you are going to get, most girls have slowed down by 16 and stopped growing by 18. If you are a boy, you may go on growing until you are 21. My older son stopped growing at 15 by which time he was 6 feet. My younger son who has always been shorter is still growing at nearly 17 and has reached 5'10" (has grown an inch in the last 6 months). My daughter stopped growing at 14 at 5'9".

If you are not an adult, very short in height and think that you may have some growing to do you can see an endocrinologist in case there is any hormone treament. There is an orthopaedic operation to lengthen leg bones, but it takes a long time, and it is very painful and expensive.

If you are not an adult, WikiAnswers cannot tell you how tall you will be when you are older. For more information about increasing height, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

Answer 2

Height, is determined by a combination of genetics and environmental factors.

Genetic potential plus nutrition, minus stressors is a basic formula for height. Genetic potential of a child is based on their parent's heights. Extremely tall or extremely short parents will likely have taller or shorter children, but children of those children, will likely be closer to average height than the parents.

On average, female growth in height, trails off at about 0 at about age 15, and for males, the age is about 18.

Between 2003-2006, the average height of an

American male was 5' 9.5", and the average height for an

American female was 5' 4".
more or less you're done growing. Ask your doctor to check your growth plates if you want to know for sure.
