you can't..unless you go to the chiropractor and have them decompress your spine, but it won't make a huge difference. And you have to hang upside down..good luck.

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."

supposedly- you double your height from age 2 1/2 or 3 but that is either an urban myth or a rule of thumb from who know where- your dr. can guide you as to your possible height-the best you can do is eat right, sleep enough, get plenty of normal exercise- and be happy you are healthy regardless of your height- be a good person-regardless of your height-that is not the most importamnt thing- be happy-be healthy- i had uncles who were short and some who were tall-all from the same parents- it did not affect their lives- don't worry- be happy !!

At 23 you have finished growing naturally.\n\nThere are no totally safe methods to make you grow.\n\nWhat is so wrong with being petite?  Taller won't make you any better than you are right now.\n\nDon't think for a second that guys will find you more attractive if you are taller.  The right guy will not care how you look, he'll only care about how you are inside.\n\n(Most movie and tv stars are petite - shorter people look better on screen).\n\nIf you want to be tall to be a fashion model, then think again.  Tall is only one of the features required.  You also need endless patience and to get used to being permanently hungry.\n\nMy advice is to relax and enjoy how you are.

try to increase yr weight by eating and increasing your intake with carbs and protein foods. yr height will not increase at yr age. yoga is always great thing to do anyway. dont over do this as you want to add the weight not decrease it. you should find some good hints for protien and carb foods in here>>

Exercise can't increase height but milk can.You can start bodybuilding at the start of puberty but you should start slow and build up. Don't push to much weight on yourself. Increase steady as you go. To build muscle mass do high weight a less reps(about 6-10)here the last couple of reps are difficult.\n\nGood Luck :-*

you really cant increase your heighth. If you take a good source of vitamins and are under 21 it will help increase your hiegth!

One does not reach his full height until he/she is about 21 years of age.\n\nImproving one's posture and learning to stand up straight, sit properly, walk properly with an erect stature can increase one's height.\n\nIntense exercise when young can bolster one's height, as the muscles support bones.\n\nI joined the Army when I was 20, and grew 1/2 an inch in height.  I think it was from learning to stand up straight.\n\nOne other way to grow taller:  lifts in shoes.

Well you can not increase your height.  However be happy to know males have one more groth spurt at 25.  If you are lucky you will grow then if you are not then you will just bult up a bit.

Naturally?  Then do nothing.  \n\nYou can get a little taller temporarily by doing things like hanging upside down for hours a day and stretching your back.  That's what football players do to get that extra inch for the measurements during the combine.  Not really worth the time though.\n\nBetter to just accept your height and move on.  Height means very little in the long run, and anyone who treats you differently because you're shorter, or taller, than them has their own issues to deal with.  \n\nBesides, shorter people live longer!\n\nGood luck.\n\n**late addition - calcium can't hurt, vitamins can't hurt, and seeing a doctor to examine your growth plates might not be a bad idea.  They should be able to tell you if nature has anything left in the tank for you.

eat one or two vitamins  a day eat healthy foods for breakfast,lunch, and dinner, and exercise 20 minutes a day. \nIf you do the stuff I told you to do you will grow taller in no time\nTrust me what i told you will make you much taller.

I GUESS IT MUST BE AS WHEN I GAVE BIRTH TO MY FIRST CHILD AT THE AGE OF 19, I DISCOVERED TO MY AMAZEMENT THAT I HAD GONE FROM 5' 2.25" TO 5' 3" AND AFTER MY SECOND CHILD WHEN I WAS 24, I WENT UP TO 5' 3.5" AND HAVE REMAINED THERE FOR THE LAST 17 YEARS ALSO POSTURE HELPS A LOT ESPECIALLY IF YOU GET A "DOWAGERS HUMP" THEN EXERCISING THE UPPER BODY WILL HELP AS I HAVE SEEN THE RESULTS ON AN OLD WOMAN!!

from your avatar I assume you are a female. What you didnt say was how old you are.   If you are 12 or older consider your self done growing unless you grow sideways from eating to much. In other words you wont get any taller and your feet wont get any bigger either. Picture yourself like  the frame of a house that is built. The only thing now is to fill it in.  And from 12 to 14 is when this filling in takes place and the hips will shape and so on. \nBoys dont finish building thier frames until they are 16 and some not untill 18 and then they fill them in. No matter what size you are  be it large or small be happy with it because it is yours and noone else in the world can have it which makes it special and makes you special. Take care of it and it will take care of you.

There is no magic way to improve height.  It was genetically predetermined by the genes that were given by your parents.  The only way to optimize height is to eat a healthy diet and exercise.  Essentially---be healthy overall.\n\nYou can:\nWear heels, thicker soles.\nWear vertical stripes?\nHave a mohawk.

You can't. After puberty, your growth stops. Learn to accept your height. It's a very small liability to carry around on.

from your description you appear stout but you will certainly be able to add more height to your 165cm over the next 3-5 years. whether you can add another 20cm will depends on your hormones, diet and lifestyle. eating well with high protein food and playing games (especially those that allow you to stretch, like swimming, basketball) should help you grow to your dream height. but, andrew, even if you do not, it is not the end of your happiness. lots of guys shorter than you are very happy. it is who you are, your personality and love for life that attract you to others and others to you. enjoy life. you have many good years ahead.
