My brother was only 5′ tall the first 2 years of high school. He then started to take Zinc and he shot up to 5’8" by the time he was a Junior/Senior in HS.
Also, here are s’more tips from another forum I ran into:
if you want to be taller just set that goal. Don’t think bad thoughts that you will forever be short just set your head into believing you’ll grow, believe me it works. The mind has not limit when used properly.dont try those things that stretch you out, they just pop your joints, and dont try steroids they won’t work. l’m 21 and i am 6’2 , my father 5’7 and mum 5’4. l was the same height as my father 8 months ago and l was always told that l would’not grow over 5’7 , the height can’t be controlled , height was determined by your gentic ,inheritance etc. i was really fed up with these narrow- minded people around me and l hit the road for a solution.l have researched books , doctors and internet high and low for incresing height, and tried many growth boosters. From my experience what worked on me :
1. Eat lots of Broccoli.
2. Eat at least 250gr yougurt every day.
3. Regular Swimming helps.
4. Sleep without pillows, and sleep at least 8 hrs daily.
5. Super-Growth works ( http://www.super-growth.com – http://www.super-growth.info)
6. Use an inversion table for 20- 30 minutes every day.
Follow the tips above and you’ll grow a few inches taller regardless of your age.
well you need the calcium in milk, so maybe its just how your parents are. are they talk too?
Sleep more, you haven’t hit your growth spurt yet so you just need to wait. There isn’t exactly a recipe to make you 7 feet tall.
On the positive side, if you stay 4’9 all your life you would legally be a midget which gives you tons of perks such as parking in disabled parking spots.
Lift weights and eat a well-balanced diet. Height is mostly genetic. If you put on mucsle people will ignore your height. People dont make fun of those who are stronger than them.
Height is a combination of genetics and nutrition. AT 13, you are very late to try & impact height. Calcium is not all you need. Try taking a general vitamin and make sure you eat well. Unfortunately, you will probably remain short. Your parents could also take you to a endocrine specialist to check that you do not lack growth hormone or have other imbalances.
Calcium is important, it’s true, but that’s not all you need to think about. Eating a varied diet, consisting of grains, fruits, veggies, dairy, and meats, is extremely important. Don’t capitalize on cacium, it’s not the key. If you’re serious about growing tall, skip the commercial option, cut out sweets and junk, and eat right. And if the kids keep making fun of you for your height, smack them with a book, haha.
There are calcium vitamins, but really there might not be a miracle answer. Some guys just don’t really start getting tall until they’re older.
My fifteen year old son likes milk but had a problem with processing the calcium he started having problems when he was seven the doctor side he needed more then what the milk could give him so she put him on 1200mg a day 600mg in the morning and 600mg at night every day until you stop growing he is fifteen and stand 5’2" but he understands that he might not grow any more then that and he is ok with it but he still is to keep taking the calcium until he is 18
My advice to you is start taking calcium especially if you hate milk
the BEST thing for you to do to grow taller is SLEEP
when you sleep, especially when you enter deep regenerative sleep, the body releases GH otherwise known as Growth hormone. After time, growth hormone will make you taller , bigger and all that.
but be patient, it doesnt work after a month , it will take a lot of time , and besides you are only 13, your true growth spurt will happen around 16-18, so just take it easy and dont worry ok?
Puberty could give you your wish
A massive growth spurt could happen over a few months or a few years.
when I was 13, I grew over the summer holidays by a few inches, enough to make some of my clothes no longer fit. – It could happen to you too
Normally we keep growing until we are about 21, Plenty of time yet.
Healthy food will give your body the energy it needs to make that growth spurt – Calcium exists in other food stuffs – but Milk is one of the best sources. Will you drink Milk shakes – find a flavour you like.
DUDE….SERIOUSLY BE THANKFUL!!!!
