What can I do to make myself grow taller?
I’m twenty years old, and about 5’1" at the most. I need to gain some height.
I’ve tried watering my feet, but that just makes my socks get wet. Hanging myself up by the hair has proven fruitless as well. I don’t want a temporary solution like a top hat, or shoes with high heels, but I also don’t want to go to the extreme of getting surgery done or anything. I have an aversion to pain.
Any natural remedies that you know of that work, ones that do not involve two people — one at my feet, one at my head — pulling me apart until I eventually become elongated? Thank you.

1. Embrace shortness, us shorty’s are much more talented and graceful than the … urm.. others.
2. Yoga- did you know that with all that crazy stretchen ya do, you actually elongate your limbs? helping your bones to hang low and travel to and fro. PLUS, with all the stretching and yoga-ing you do, you are perfecting your posture, a new method to walking around the house with a stack of dictionaries on your head, and with a straigh back and a high head, you can reach at least another couple inches on your hight PLUS you just look taller when you are stupidly proud and fooled that 2 inches makes much of a difference! Good Luck!
Signed, 5’1 (and ahalf)
I was 4’10" up until I turned 21 and started going to the chiropractor, the alignment made me grow at least an inch. For smaller people–that makes a huge difference!
Simple. Grow out your toenails. Eventually they’ll start to curve under themselves, then you can walk on them like springy shoes.
Skele-Gro?
@ Lyra: Well, she can grow MORE bones! Like another set of feet under her feet.
You wont protest will you, Arabesque?
I know you mentioned an aversion to pain, but if you can tolerate it indefinitely, you could visit the local DMV and have your license renewed. Tell them you are 5’10", (they will not even look up from the screen to verify this — or weight for that matter). Then you’ll have an official document proving you are now taller. A "trump card", if you will, that’ll shut up even the most persistent objector. "Ha ! I have PROOF !"
Also re-decorate your house with those cool curvy mirrors they have at the state fair. Pick only those that prove conclusively that you LIED to the DMV, and are REALLY 8 feet tall, gorgeous, famous, and independently wealthy beyond comprehension.
That’s how I see things.
Ah! To reveal my secret – only for & to you :
I am a tad shorter than 6 ft [a mere 10-11’] & I get around my handicap [sorry, that’s for ‘hands’; ‘pedicap’ for legs] by walking on pogo sticks cleverly camouflaged by my long skirts & pants & sarees. [I could send you my snap if you like]. No surgery, no pains, no wet feet [why you couldn’t take your socks off before watering your feet, beats me! But hanging upside down must’ve given you real rosy cheeks.]
And in all modesty, I’ve gotten so proficient that I can hop, skip, & jump And am training to do somersaults too.
Initially, before gaining confidence & proficiency, I would sometimes use a ‘display & divert” tactic : display some of my other Ample assets & divert attention from my pedicap.
Little wonder then, that I remain, the centre of attraction
)
Hope this helps where all else has failed ….
PS : With rapid progress in stem cell research, I just came across an article where they can grow real-life cells Over the pogo sticks so that they look like Natural legs !
I have the same problem. My mom always told me that regular exercise would do it.
@Billet: Skele-Gro only works for regrowing bones, silly.
@Joshms: I’m so jealous right now! You’ve never offered to give *me* your inches!
I’m 5’4 personally. But the chiropractor sounds pretty good, I’ve heard it works as well. I’ve never done it personally though.
I’ve tried biking, making my seat higher than it should be and stretching my legs that way.
I think it worked, but you have to be real consistent with it.
We in the Terminal Region have a technique called the ‘imperative projection’;
simply change your virtual surrounding by projection of your own imagination
the observer will then view what you demand of them.
In Earthly terms those whom you call ‘actors’ have a special knack for a rudimentary form of of the ‘imperative projection’.

I’ll share a few inches with you. I don’t think I’d mind being a little shorter, even though I’m only around 5’10" as it is (which is a few inches short for guys my age).
Now I just have to figure out how to transfer these inches over the internet..
If this doesn’t work out, you could always get permanent stilts. It’s a rather painless procedure.
There’s just one not-so-nice way out. I had been forced to do it since I was three.
Two half boiled eggs a day.
At present, I’m around 170 cm and quite young– don’t know what that’s in in inches.
@ Billet: Skele-Gro would lead to her having two skulls, two joints and five feet on each leg. Hmm..maybe it *is* the solution.
* 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..
