you cant increase your height , it's predetermine by your gene.

To be sure you could go to a growth specialist, but my guess is that you will grow to be at least on the shorter end of average. Don't expect to be NBA tall, but also don't worry so much about your height, you are many years before your growth stops.

There is no food that will make you grow taller. It depends on your genes and not the food you eat. \n\nIf you are a girl, then you probably can't grow any more and will stay that small.\n\nIf you are a boy, then you will continue to grow until you are 21.

Height is determined by your DNA, mostly. Secondly, it is influenced by your nutrition.\n\nAny pill that could make you grow would have to alter your DNA - which those pills don't do. And even if they could, do you wanna risk your DNA to some entity on the Net claiming you can get a couple inches?

If you want to increase your hight,i'm not sure what steps you should take,but if you want to increase your hEight then you should eat right,exercise,and take vitamins.If your a female older than 14 your pretty much stuck with your height and if your a male over 18 you will be lucky if you grow 1/4 of an inch more.

At 17, your chances of growing four inches are minimal.  You may grow again, but chances are it will not be a lot.\n\nAs for foods and sports... None of those will help you to grow, especially at this stage in life - but they will keep your body and bones healthy which will prevent you losing bone density as you age and thus, lessen the chance of breakages.\n\nThere is a surgical operation that can lengthen your bones, but it is VERY expensive and EXCEPTIONALLY painful.  From what I understand, it consists of having the bones surgically broken and having a metal frame inserted  - I believe it's multiple times a day that screws are twisted to continiually break the bone.  Over a period of months, the bones slowly heal over the continual breaks, thus making them longer.\n\nFrom what I've heard, it's neither pleasant nor easy to go through.  You would have to talk to a doctor about it as well.\n\nIs there a reason you want to be taller?  So you want to be an air hostess or something similar that requires someone to be a minimum height or is it just a personal preference?  If you consider surgery, you would probably need to consult a psychologist to make sure you're emotionally sound to undergo such a massive operation.\n\nSorry I can't provide more information, but if you look online, you will most likely find information.  But at the end of the day, you will need to discuss it with your family and your doctor.  Also... You may not be able to gain the four inches you desire - that would have to be discussed with your doctor as well.

Human Growth Hormone when used by an endocrinologist can make a child grow taller.  Unfortunately, a person will never grow past their genetic potential.  So short people like me are stuck wearing heels, sorry :-(

You can't. But eating Healthy and staying hit helps you attain your full natural hight. You'll only grow so much and you can't do anything about it.\nThough I have heard of a sergery that can do something to make you taller, but I don't know much about it.\n\nBe thankful for the height you have, somepeople are extremely short...for lack of a politer way to say it.

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.

I'm fairly sure it doesn't. Sorry height is usually about genetics, and its usually something you can't control. You could try some kind of growth hormones or just drinking milk to develop strong bones. But check with your doctor before trying any medication.

if you're in your teens or early 20s, there are dietary supplements that claim they can help you grow. My son has been taking http://www.heightmax.com/index.htm... for a couple months and he has grown after being 5' 5" for well over a year. Whether or not he would have started growing again at this point in time (he's about to turn 15) no one can say; but it's mostly vitamins and he's had no side effects, so we'll keep using it.

eat a balanced diet period. Just eat a little more of it.  Don't worry too much tho.  I'm sure your appetite will catch up to your height.

Eat more calcium and protein in your diet. Avoid weight lfting.\n\nWell, there is a horrible, dangerous and expensive surgery where they break your legs and then stretch them out of the course of months, only to break them again and stretch you some more.\n\nOr you could just use gravity boots and eat a lot of meat. You might gain one inch.

Take one full onion, 1 tbsp honey. Grind them together in kitchen mixer and take it early morning empty stomach, watch your height every three months.

If you smoke, stop. U could be short, because you've been working out when you were young, which somewhat slows down your increase in growth in height.\n\nVitamins would help also. You can never take too much of vitamins, because your body takes what it needs..n throws the rest away.
