How can I get taller?

[DCfever]

Will working out make me shorter?Are there any foods in particular,that I should go heavy on?

[TheJediBrah]

Tall foods like carrots and hot dogs.

Stay away from short foods like burgers and potatoes, they will make you shorter.

I've heard pickles make you grow tall really quickly, however you're more likely to get wrinkles if you take them regularly :/

[NickDykstra]

You gotta eat light foods, stop with the heavy foods. They weigh you down too much and compress your spine. Should try sticking to cotton candy, helium, and 3 musketeers...

Op how old are you? Srs

[kanko]

Lol... Genetics kid. The only hope is for you to get a x-ray from a doctor he can tell u how much growth is left but it isnt 100% accurate because i was 6'8 and 3 years later 6'11. The only way u can grow to ur potential height is getting enough calories ur body needs so dont be cutting be in a 50-100 caloric surplus so ur organs,bones and body can grow.


Btw know a guy whos father and dad is 5'3 he is 6'3 lol so i dont know man eat big this guy was overweight but had enough proteins,carbs and fats.


P.S eat vitamin d,calcium,zinc...

Just make sure your body is well fed nutritionally every day. Take a few minutes to rest in the morning daily and SLEEP A LOT.

Minimal 8-10 hours sleep thats when ur body grows and repair...

If only I'd heard that a few years ago, I might've ended up normal sized

If I end up with children, I'll give them a diet of these "tall foods" of which you speak

[sxxr]

My friend, who is 6'5" as we speak says that shoving TV remote up your ass (100% srs) during the commercial breaks and taking it out whie How I Met Your Mother returns makes you about 1-2 inches taller every few weeks. Only works if you are <45 years young.

How old are you?
Because at a young age, if you go VERY heavy, you may damage your growth plates.
But it is unlikely.

Lifting normal weights will NOT affect your growth, i'm talking anything above 3reps should be ok.
However if you keep doing 1 RMs you may damage your growth plates.


In order to grow, EAT LIKE A PIG.
Your growing, EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT.
Carbs, Proteins, Vitamins, Fat etc...

you can hang from a pullup bar for 2-3 minutes a day... it doesn't necessarily make you physically taller, but it stretches your spine and makes you appear taller

[FeelTheFear]

dont go in a large calorie deficit (dont cut)

Get a balanced diet with good amounts of micronutrients

make sure you aren't iron deficient

there are some drugs that can increase adult height but theyre illegal & quite harsh

[lingchingdawg]

you could search on google fool

btw you can't it's just genetics and sleep

[BigMatt4568]

Genetics, so good luck unless you can figure out how to alter your DNA.
It's weird though, I'm 16 and taller than both of my parents and my sister is like 7 inches shorter than me. Genetics are confusing tbh.

Genetics determine your potential height. Environment determines your actual height.


Eat healthy. Vitamins. Sleep. Posture. Be active.

[Punjabiii]

Sitting on the toilet causes spinal disfunction which will lead to stunted growth, so from now on, crap outside in a squat like position.

Adopted brah

[ZakMorrison]

Genetics is the only way you can be taller, that or this surgery where they snap your legs and pull them apart leaving them in a splint for like 8 months to grow like 2-3cm, wouldn't recommend that.

[NRidder]

16 years old

Don't fret, give it time. When I was 16, I was 165cm tall, but at the time I was 18, I was 188. (or 6'2 as I am today).

[Browning4]

The only thing I can think of that may have helped my height is good nutrition and like a half gallon of milk a day for the past 5 years of my life. It's probably genetics though.
Edit: I was 5'8" at 16 years old.

Stop cutting when your trying to grow. Cutting means your limiting your body
