I know that genetics decides how tall we grow. But if a person already has good genes regarding height (all family members 5’7 + tall), what he/she should do to attain maximum height possible while growing like what exercises, how many hours o sleep, what food , etc?

Is it legal for a doctor to give me Human Growth Hormone even though I do not have a disease and I just want to be taller? My mom is 5′ 3”, so its in my genes. I’ve heard that if I am going to take hormones to increase my height I must do it now, there is not way to increase height once you’ve reached adulthood. Is HGH safe as long as it is administered by a doctor?

Oh Hey ! What’s up?! How you doing ? lol

Alright here’s the deal
I’m 16, turning 17 in April and i’m 5"6
I’m thinking of majorly switching my lifestyle up cos i feel like i can still grow alot more cos my dad is 5"5 and so is my mom, but males on my mom’s side are GIANTS.
And my brother, who took most of my mom’s genes, just turned 15 this month and is 5"5! so he’s definitely gonna be tall when he’s around my age lol.
Well i have a high metabolism, I dont always smoke, but occasionally, I drink occasionally too, i never sleep early, i on average get like 4 or 5 hours of sleep everyday, I play basketball, but only once a week, during gym class in school, and i have really long legs but a short torso, i wear size 32 length trousers (and i’m a boy btw, i’m aware that most girls have naturally long legs) and really long hands(i can stand up straight and touch the top of my knee caps easily lol)

So this is my plan

I will make my sleep pattern better, having at least 8-9 hours of sleep each day, even on weekends.
I will have all 3 aquare meals each day, but what times will it be best for me to have those meals so that the nutrients will help me achieve maximum growth? Also, what kind of meals should i have? more protein? more carbs ? i dont know lol, please tell me

I will stop smoking, i might have a ciggarrete maybe every once in like a month or something, when i go to parties or something

^^ Same for drinking

I’m gonna become an avid swimmer as i hear swimming helps so i’ll go swimming for about an hour at least 5 times a week. What times would be most effective for me to swim to achieve maximum growth? p.s the swimming pool closes at 8 on weekdays and at 6 on weekends. And what strokes should i do to achieve maximum height, HGH secretion and all that?

I’m also gonna become more into basketball as i want to play in college and that

For breakfast, I’m most likely to have a cup of coffee along with my meal, but i’ll always drink a glass of milk before i go to bed. I tend to eat alot of eggs with breakfast so that should help cushion some of coffee’s calcium stealing activities right?

I also eat alot of meat and chicken, not enough vegetables but i’ll start that too

I’ll groom myself really well, practice good hygiene and everything

I’ll do pull ups,everyday, when i wake up, and before i go to bed, Probably like 40 a day

I’ll follow this plan rigorously then after like 2 or 3 months i’ll start to take some calcium supplements, amino acids and such? That okay?

I know height is in your genes and blah blah blah, but i know i should be tall, cos i’ve always had long legs, always been kinda tall till i was like 11 or 12 then everything started going slow, but i had some bad habits anyway.

I’m also gonna take an xray to see if my long bones have fused or closed or something which leaves me at my final height which i doubt.

I know Scotty Pippen grew over 4 inches after he was 22 in his NBA career and a bunch of other NBA stars, probably cos of the rigorous training? I don’t know but i know i should be wayyy taller than this

So what you think of the plan, sound good, any possibility of it working?
Also, please answer the questions i asked at the end of each resolution

Thank you
Best answer gets ten points

I am 17 years old and I am 6 foot tall and i was wondering if i can still grow 2-4 more inch’s in height. I am going to turn 18 soon and i am going to be playing sports in college. I have tall genes in my family as my mothers uncle was 7 foot tall and her cousin’s are 6 foot 8 and 6 foot 10. My father also has tall people over 6 foot in his family. I work out with weights and i eat alot and a lot of protein rich foods and take protein supplements and a little creatine once in a while. I also drink lots of milk at-least 4 classes a day. I heard I-GF1 or HGH can make you taller is that true. Can i Still grow naturally.

The question is pretty self explanatory. I’m 15 years old and looking to get taller since I have pretty shitty genes so I’ve been swimming once a day for a good hour and was wondering if this will actually increase my height? Swimmers seem to be so tall and with all the stretching I assume it does make you grow. And do other methods like hanging off bars actually increase your height? I don’t want the whole ‘you have to accept your height’. Thanks .

One’s height might usually depend on their genes, but I know that lifestyle choices can affect one’s growth spurt as well. Besides the whole general balanced diet with fruits and veggies and exercising certain amount of time per week, are there specific exercises/stretches one can do to help them grow? What are they and how would they help? (If you know any sources to back it up, it will be greatly appreciated). How daily do you have to do these exercises/stretches in order for them to be effective in aiding one’s growth? 10 points for best, thorough answer!! Thanks in advance.

So I’ve heard many stories about both sides. Some people say your genes designate your height so milk just quickens the process. Others say milk is supplement to what your designated height should be which means it makes u actually grow taller than what ure supposed to be. So can anyone tell me the real scientific truth?

i really want to know if there are any growth supplements available so that i can get to about 170 cm or taller.

because i am getting my license soon it really affects the way i drive lol. and my mum is chinese and my dad is yugoslavian. i think i get my genes from my dad because my mum is about 170 in cm and he is only 160 but they got divorced anyway.

what i really would like to know is if i should get some growth supplements or whatever you call them to make me grow taller in height. or should i just see what happenes in 2 or 3 years time when i am 20 or 21 lol. and i might still be growing?

because i think that i have stopped growing since 17 or whatnot. is there any supplements that i can buy from australia which is were i live or should i just wait and see if i do grow some more during the next half year. and do physical exercises and sports etc.

what is the best possible solution for this?

if anyone here has this problem too plz messege me back thanks =)

I am 5’6" and have only grown an inch per year over the past two years. I am 15 and my growth slowed because I developed bulimia right before turning 13. I am recovering now, but I am afraid I stunted my growth because i have never had a period and my mom is 5’9, dad is 6′. I am taking calcium supplements and vitamins just to make sure, but what is the likelyhood I will be able to grow(if I was meant to be taller), and how can i know if i stunted my growth or if i just got weird recessive short genes? I just think that it is not possible for my parents to be so much taller than I am when my relatives are also much taller than I am. And, I have never ever gotten a period even though I developed the first signs of breasts etc a long time ago…

I’m about 5 ‘ 6.5 almost 5 ‘ 7. I would love to be at least 6 ‘ 2. I’m 15 years old. My dad is 5 ‘ 11 and my mom is a short 5 ‘ 2. Some say that genes isn’t all that has to do with height and how tall you grow. It is said that how you live your life can be a solution. There is also a harmless growth hormone supplement that is said to help with height growth as you take them everyday. Do you think this can help? Also, any suggestions on how i can assist my chances of getting to 6 ‘ 2?
My family is known to be short. The tallest was my dad at 5 ‘ 11 but this is common to some tall people for families not being tall. They begin new trends of taller heights as their sons and so on grow on to be tall thus making a new family- a tall family. Do you think i have a good chance to start a new trend if i take the supplements and eat my nutrients, protein, etc.?
