Its unlikely, but if you have a tall gene in your family somewhere then you never know.
Genetics are strange.



Sleep required varies by age. Some teenagers may require up to 10 hours of sleep. The calcium in milk is very important, but keeping your body in the best of shape with exercise and eating from all of the five food groups is also very important.
My brother and I are among the tallest in the family and we ate lots of foods most wouldn't... salad, broccoli, lima beans, kidney beans... with decent portions of meat, bread, etc. Basically, the five food groups.

I've been using it as a height booster for several months now This stuff is great, It is rare for a product to live up to its advertised hype. But this one actually does. It Works as advertised. Also, this specific product advertises improved joint health. I injured my knee and could find no relief, but after 3 weeks of using it I no longer have knee pain. I have tried other height gaining products, but I have seen the best results from this product. My height continues to grow.



My parents are both under 6', and my uncle is 6'3". I was 4'11" leaving my sophmore year and graduated at 6'1". Yes it is possible for you to grow taller. The major changes I made that may have contributed to my growth was that I stopped taking ritalin. One of the side effects of this drug is a stunt in growth. Other things with this side effect are coffee/soda, ciggarettes, lack of sleep, and too many carbohydrates.

It is entirely possible to be above 6 feet. Growth spurts don't only occur during the summer, as I've been having one since 2 years ago. I'm also 6'2" and still growing, but my parents are both 5'10". You'll probably be around 5'10" - 6' by the time you're done growing.



You almost certainly won't reach 6 foot tall. You might get to 5'9, but not 6 feet. Sorry.



It is possible, although highly unlikely that you will hit 6 foot.



It's highly unlikely, but you might reach 5/9.



Let me explain you a few methods, which will help you in growing tall

First plan your daily diet in such a way that there is no place for nutritional deficiency to happen. Amino acids, carbohydrates and proteins play an important in increasing your height. Supplement your meal with green leafy vegetables, salads, and fruits, which will give your body all the essential vitamins and minerals. Strictly follow a healthy diet as they trigger the growth hormones and they are responsible for your height.

Sleep is one of the best remedies to make you tall. I will explain you the logic behind this statement. It is noted that growth hormones are distributed evenly in the body during sleep. This concept is still a secret and many are not aware of this fact. Therefore, practice it as a habit to take a proper rest for 6 to 7 hours daily.

Exercise is mandatory if you want to increase your height. You need not do heavy exercises like lifting weights. Simple stretching techniques are the best ways, which helps to stimulate your growth process. Spend 10 to 15 minutes daily in doing backstretches, push-ups and sprinting, which will show effective changes in your height within a few months. All these methods help in elongating your muscles and bones and gradually help you in growing taller by 1 to 2 inches.

You can always appear taller by the way you dress. Certain designs and materials have the tendency to show off height. For example, people of short stature can use striped shirts as they make you appear tall and steady. In the cases of females, using tall hats and pointed heels will help a lot in increasing their height. Carry your attitude wherever you go, as it matters a lot to keep you apart in the crowd.

Always walk and sit upright as this is the best posture, which makes you feel taller. Do not bend or stoop which is disgraceful and awkward. It is an illusion in regards to height but helps in many situations. D Even though surgeries are present to make you taller, do not go in for any invasive procedures. The most common side effect of surgeries is that it makes the bones brittle. A small injury will be dangerous for you after such an operation. For more info : http://www.mygrowtaller.com
