eating healthy foods and having enough sleep.\n\nmost people think that you need to have enough calcium, but they actually don't know that calcium doesn't actually help you growing taller for it only goes to the calcium depository inside your bones with the help of osteocytes. therefore calcium is for your bone mass and not bone length, but still needed for your bone mass if ever you got taller. ;)\n\nand by the way, the part which really makes us longer are those of the ones interconnected to other bones with the ligaments, etc. for those are the reasons why bones extend from their normal sizes. i can't recall the term, let me tell you when i get back to my house for my book, im in summer vacation right now.

Other than surgery, and eating right, there is no way to increase your height.  If you are still young, get plenty of calcium, eat a balanced diet, and get plenty of rest.  There is a procedure that a doctor can perform to add inches, but it is  painful.  A doctor can break your legs, add some bone from somewhere else from your body, and add it to the length of your legs.  Then, after 6 months of healing, he can rebreak your legs and add more inches.  i think he can add only an inch or two at a time though, so several inches might take a few years.

Your height is predetermined by your genetic makeup.  There is nothing you can do to increase it.

According to some doctor you have a chance to increase your height upto 25yrs of age. Sleep 8 hours a day(from 9pm-5am), eat well, exercise (basketball, jogging) try some supplements. do it regularly

You are more likely to get taller by eating more calcium, since your height is dependent upon how large your bones are, and protein is more about muscles.  \n\nHonestly, though, I don't think there is anything that will help you get taller in a month.  Your genes and the amount of calcium you have had to date in your life would play a big role in your overall height, but there is no way to naturally stimulate your growth like that.

All else being equal, you can't get any taller than your genes dictate.  I'm not tall,  5'9", and have always wished I could get at least to that magical 6 foot tall barrier.  You can make sure that you get to the tallest that your genes will allow by staying healthy, eating properly, getting plenty of rest, etc.\n\n"The height of the person is influenced by many factors, like good nutrition, onset and end of puberty and, most importantly, by the genetic predisposition. Most people by the time they are 19 have stopped growing and reached their final height. By that age growth epiphyses (the areas of the bones in your arms and legs that grow) have closed and the bone cannot get any longer. Unfortunately, once that happened, there is not much you can do to become taller.  \n\nIf you have seen advertisements for products that promise to make you taller, beware, there are no pills or devices that can increase your height.  Try to remember that height is only on aspect of who you are and that you have many qualities that you can control, like how you are as a friend, how hard you work and how you treat other people."

There are no stretches to increase height.\n\nTo increase height, your bones have to get longer.\n\nStretching deals with muscles not bones. \n\nYour height is determined by your genes. There is nothing you can do to change that. Put your energy somewhere else.

Your best bet is posture - hold your head high and appear taller. The only other proper remedies are medical procedures where they break your legs in different sections and insert material so that when they heal you are taller up to 10 to 15cm can cost over $10,000. Last option - wear tall shoes.

Sure you can get taller. Swimming usually makes your shoulders broad though. Try swimming for about 3 times a week. surely NOT everyday or you'll get sore from all the exercise.  Basketball or anything JUMPY will help you grow taller.

Its not true that if you play basketball/volleyball you grow taller. Its just a superstition.\n\nI'm pretty sure that there is no way to make you taller naturally. Its all genes but youre just 13, you should still grow.

I'm almost sure there is no vitamin that can speed up your height growth. You are very young, and have plenty of years to grow naturally. If you are looking to increase your body mass, then there are plenty of supplements for that. Log onto Max Muscle.com, and check out their inventory. Great store with fabulous products! Good luck.

Sorry, I can't give you any recommendations to increase your height.  The bones of your skeleton determine your height, and you can't really make them grow any more than they want.  Good news, you still may grow another inch or so in the next few years.  I grew and inch in my freshman year of college to 5'1-1/2"!  My sister grew and inch at the same time, so now she's an even 5 foot! I recommend to come to terms with your "height deficit", take all the short jokes in stride,  and take advantage of tall people over the coming years by making them get things for you that are out of your reach.  And invest in a step stool.  When you get older and move out, you may have to get your own things out of a tall cupboard every now and then.\n\nI've read in magazines every now and then there are ways to dress to make you "appear taller", and you can wear tall shoes sometimes, but unless you are a billionaire that can afford radical surgery/treatment options, love the body your in.  It's the only one you've got.

OK, long answer. One, there is no diet and exercise that will make you taller. period. Two. If you are that self confident, you can go to your doctor and ask for human growth hormone, which is injected into you six times a month (approximately) and you will gain maybe an inch or two. - it also comes with a boatload of side effects and risks attached- Three. there is a procedure that surgeons can do, it involves breaking your legs and attaching screws into them that every day you have to turn and keep re breaking your legs over and over so that the bones will fill in the gaps. It's a costly procedure and very painful and you only get about one or two inches and there is the risk of infection. I think you need to learn to be happy with what you've got. You can try and seek psychological help for your problem but really, in the long run it's not the height that counts, it's the person and hopefully you come to see that.

calcium would probably be the only thing that MIGHT help... it'll just make your bones stronger but it might promote a little growth.  nothing makes you taller besides genetics.  there is however a shot that you can get every so often that is supposed to make you gain a few inches.  you would have to talk to your doctor about the growth hormones. set up an appointment and as long as you're healthy your doctor wont have a problem with giving you the growth hormones. they generally make you grow 2-3 inches taller

we build muscles by stressing them out. lift some weights or play more. i have no idea about the height thing though. i'm guessing that's generic. but you can do exercises for your back & shoulder muscles to give you better posture- that would make you appear taller. in any case, holding your head high always helps.
