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.

What are you talking about? You're 5'9 and you are only 14. There's nothing you can do, you grow naturally, you can't control that. I'm 18 and 6"1 (if there was a way I'd know).  Man you''ve got a lot of growing left ( Men don't stop growing until 21, women 18).  Since you're already so tall, in a couple of years you may be 6"7 and up range.

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.

cut down on junk food. just bike everyday for about 15 minutes. you cant make yourself grow tall. no food can make you grow taller than you are supposed to. but as long as your are not starving you will grow to full height.

You can't gain height like that.\nIt's genetics and enviroment together.\nIf you're smoking, drugs etc stop it. Eat a lot of foods full with calcium and hope for the best.\nIf your mom and dad are short or at your height.. Most chances you'll stay at the same height.\nIf you're in the end of your puberty you wont grow much. You can go and take a Xray of your bones, they can tell you what "age" are your bones, this way you can see if your bones have rached their full potential or not.\nTake care.

Sorry there’s nothing to do now.\nThe development begins with the birth and reached its apex during the adolescence time.\nDuring that time, physicians can intervene with some specific drugs (hormones) with a fairly possibility to increase a bit the height. During that time, some specific sports (swimming, volley, etc.) can help too.  \nNow your skeleton and bones have already reached their max length and fixed definitively.  \nOnly a miracle could satisfy you!

no food can make you taller. \n\nI'm also a vegetarian & a part-time personal trainer, so don't think I'm just messing with you on this...seriously, no food that you eat nor exercises that you do can make you taller. Sad, but true.

Increase of height is a natural process. For male the ultimate age of height growth is about 21 yrs. And for female it is about 18. Anyone’s height depend upon his/her heredity as well as STH secretion and so many other physiological things. \nAll those products available in market (like height increasing shoes etc.) to increase height doesn’t work basically. And some of these have its adverse effect also. And also height growing medicines are bad. Later on it might show its bad side effects and hormonal disorder.\nThe best way to increase height is to\n1.Exercise regularly and in proper way.\n2.Go to some good exercise center where well trained and properly educated trainers are available.\n3.Consult to your doctor.\n4.Have healthy foods.

Naani M, quit this!\n\nYou are 5ft tall, and that's it. That's how you were designed to be so that you can be the person that you are.\n\nOK -- if you really want to be a BIT taller, you can get a thing called an instep which goes into your shoe that raises you about 2-3 cm. Combined with that, you can have thick soles, with a thick heel hammered onto the bottom of your shoe. That will increase your height by another 3-4 cms. Just make sure that the instep and the thick sole are done for you after consultation with a podiatrist or an orthopedic surgeon because you can really hurt your muscles and jolt the bones in your feet if you get some cobbler-on-the-corner to make these for you.\n\nAlso, you can investigate getting a hairstyle that raises your coiffure: simply "teasing" the hair with a comb to puff up the hair helps. But then, I guess you are a south-east Asian, and it's very difficult to "fluff up" that beautiful, straight black hair your people have. \n\nNext -- be very careful of your diet. Always keep thin. There is NOTHING as short as a FAT guy. Keep ultra thin, and wear clothes (especially formal shirts with collars) that have stripes that go up and down. DON'T wear stripes or patterns that go from side to side! That makes you look shorter.\n\nBut what is this all going to do? It's going to make you LOOK taller, but that's not the point. You ARE short! So what the hell? Julius Caesar was short. Napoleon Buonaparte was short. But they ruled the world, man!\n\nSo can you!\n\nGet real, Naani. Stop this obsession with being tall! It's not worth it. For every person out there who calls you "Shorty" (or whatever they call short guys in your country) there are 10 who notice, but don't care. And another 10 don't even notice.\n\nSo ignore the ONE rude guy in your life, and rejoice with the other 20 that think you're great! \n\nPeople will love you, NOT because of how tall or how short you are, but because of WHO you are. Are you an honest person? Are you sincere? Can we trust you? Do you care about us? Are you a good lecturer? Do you treat your students with sincerity? Do you find something in EACH of them that makes you love them for who they are? Are you looking after their interests? Are you looking after your career? Are you trying to be the best qualified person in your field?\n\nStop bellyaching about how high your is a$$ is off the ground! Worry about how high you stand in the opinion of others! THAT'S what counts in life, babe.

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

human body grows till the age of 23 which is a madically proven thing. if u want to increase your height then hang from some rod or ceiling by grabing it with your both hands so that you hold the weight of your body through both your arms.(not with one arm/hand). stay hanging for 5 minutes, rest for a minute and repeat again for 5 min. then again rest for 1 minute and then hang for another 5 minutes but this time also do some pull ups of your body.\nrepeat this 5 times a week for 3-4 months and you will feel some change in your height. \ni got myself streched from 5.4 to 5.7 :D\n\nremember do not take any pills, if someone claims that you can increase your height by using their pills then he/she is a lier.

First we are geneticically predisposed to be a certain height and only when we deprive our bodies of needed nutrition do we change that by maybe stunting our growth. So, you may take back after any relative, mostly it will go back to the grandparents. So, no amount of food will make you grow taller. You do need to eat healthy and get the nutrition you need to grow to your maximum height. So, be patient. Yes, people can have a spurt at age 16. Girls are growing until 18-2,  sometimes. Boys usually grow fastest at an earlier age than girls do. But, 11 in. is a lot. So, hang in there and be happy with what and who you are. You are beautiful just the way you are. God designed you to be who you are, an individual, with no one else who is like you. Isn't that amazing? Love coming your way. Prayers that you will grow and will love yourself no matter what.
